so the saturday night just gone, i decided to tag along to a nightclub my mates frequent here in melbourne. It goes by the name of 'bang'. any other melbournians familiar with it?
ANYWAY they decided to take me into the 'metal room'. here i am thinking its gunna be a bar/pub with a whole lot of blokes listening to judas preist. how i wish it was that. it was like a private function room where the DJ had his own little booth. lights were set up, kinda cool, did the job and set the affect. anyway im hanging around in there for a few hours wating to hear some 'metal'. I get linkin park. disturbed. muderdolls. hatebreed. metallica. BLINK 182! bullet for my valentine, Killswitch, deftones, h.i.m.
at the end of each DJ's set i walked up to him and said 'whats the go with metal? why did you only play 3/4 of master of puppets? all that other garbage isnt metal'. he asked me how old i was, to which i replied 21 (which i am). he persisted to tell me how i wouldnt know what real metal was if it hit me in the face. at this point, i nearly hit HIM in the face.
he told me that he has to cater for the majority of poeple, whih were aged between 18 (legal drinking age) and 25. thats all well and good, but what abou the 20 odd bikies sitting in the corner? what about some gunners for them? he told me to email him with a list of bands he thinks he should spin a bit more. im not going to prattle off the list, but it varies from black sabbath, to testament, to hatesphere, chimaira, mnemic, arch enemy, sonata artica, ect. play a more DIVERSE range of metal. not just nu-metal.
anyway im blabbering. Has anyone else been to metal clubs around their area and come across 'false advertising'? im just really, really, really pissed off.
