That is no racist statement but...

I met them a few years ago when they came around opening for Arch Enemy, and almost made a joke that they should change the name of the tour to "Bands of Brothers" (Doc & Dallas Coyle + Mike & Chris Amott, get it? get it? hyuk!). Ended up deciding against it for fear they might think it was a black joke (instead of just a crap joke).

Hahahahahhaa, if you wanted it to be a black joke, it would've been "Band of Brothas"

 

[deLuther]

ice T, katon depena, mike smith of suffocation, the hard corps (the singer of which went on to form stone deep with guy from scatterbrain), rocky george, dudes in god forbid, DJ in mordred. aside from maybe a few others....that's about it.

How about Terrance Hobbs of Suffocation?
Or he is not as black as Mike Smith?
(I mentioned this gyus already).

Epic thread!

Hey! Black Death!
I remember seeing those guys in the lobby of Cobo Arena at a Dio concert way back in 1985.... Leather, chains, the works. I was 15 at the time & was awestruck.

Nice!

But on the other hand the ,,gangsta rap,, stereotype really fits black people and i find it alright when they do it.

Oooh, definitely have to disagree with you there, the gangsta rap thing comes from ghetto hoods where driveby's, drug dealing, and gangs are the norm, and the music preaches misogyny, solving problems with violence, and pure hedonism. Not really something that should be encouraged in an already troubled area.

Killswitch Engage, Korn, Living Colour, Bad Brains, God Forbid, Suffocation, Skindred, POD? They all have black members. Almost said Metallica too, but I think Trujillos parents are Mexican, but he ain't white thats for sure.

Again, don't want to say it, but primitive (read: shitty music what is easier to listen to, like pop and hiphop and rap) catches larger audience, heavy metal is in general minority target of the audience, except maybe in Sweden and Finland

I said almost

Okay, here's the deal... I name you 1000 more or less popular metal bands that consist of non-black (ha!) bandmembers and you try to name 50 that have at least one in... I bet I win

But nice documentary there! But I had a feeling that Helsinki has a lot of Emo people too

haha yeh, you don't want Dallas to label you as the next Kramer. Those guys have a sense of humour though, calling themselves Black Metal and selling t-shirts with a satanic pentagram over Africa.

Not metal, strictly speaking, but...

 

[Carcass29]

Geez...how could I forget to mention these guys, -Bad Brains and 24/7 Spyz

 

[BloodyMurderKaraoke]

What about God Forbid? The only white guy is the bassist

 

[Metaltastic]

I can't believe that no one yet has mentioned God Forbid.
4/5ths of that band is black, only the bassist is white.
They are my favourite band; I can't wait for their new DVD and album.

[MaximumMetal288]

It's because God Forbid is soo damn good there is no need for any more black people in metal.
