Silly lad, if only you listened to Slipknot more as a child.

I have an idea.
We make a new site, basically for the Opeth UBB board members who have bands. The basic idea behind this is to support those who want record contracts, and possibly (Hopefully) when a band gets signed, the company(ies) may see this site and find the other bands, thus potentially leading to more signings.
We aim to increase the popularity (No 'selling out', no brainwashing, just some amateur adverst) and get these bands heard, who may have some real talent.
I know of many people who have great musical talents and have just given up from the sheer frustration of being overrun by the commercial bands with more money in PR than quality control.

Another idea.
If we are ambitious enough, these bands who band together under this superior band banner should form their own record company, and whenever a band is ready to record they all pitch in, and all reap the profits.
I don't know.
Still, with thier permission, at some point in the next month or so I will be adding a site for Thales (Yes, those Finnish lads!) to my current site, which also hosts Hammering Moss.
