There should a Metal Award show.

[Iron Chef Sakai]

After the garbage that is the Grammy's, I think the metal community should have its own Metal Award show. In this show you can have it hosted in metal hotbeds like in Germany, Sweden, the Bay Area, London, Norway and maybe Japan. Also the show can include different categories such as Best Death Metal Album of the Year, Newcomer Band of the Year, Best Black Metal Band of the Year, Lifetime Metal Acheivement Award and so on. Thoughts?

that would be sweet

 

[CAIRATH]

Horrible idea. Does this even need any explanation?

 

[Astrum]

It would be pretty sweet. Not thread material, though. Sorry.

 

[ThisIsACoolName]

Phenominal.

 

[Koude Haat]

the good bands would not accept any awards or care about it

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

Im kind of disappointed you didn't put in Finland, Finland is coming out with some of the best bands around.

(JAPAN BEFORE FINLAND AND BOSTON, MA HAHAHAHAHA)

Seriously how can you exclude Boston, MA and Finland?!

 

[Hatebreeder]

If this was to ever happen, I'd lose my faith in the metal community. An awards show goes against the metal mentality. Pretty soon we'd have hundreds of Metallicas.

 

[Disarmonia_Mundi]

The only way I could see one happening is if they treated it like an Ozzfest type thing, where 10-20 bands performed, and they had little intermissions where they would say XXXX won in this genre, but mostly it would be a kickass concert

With BM/DM/MDM/Hardcore/Metalcore/Grindcore/Thrash have like 3-4 bands in each genre perform, it would be like a 2 day thing

 

[Hatebreeder]

I think it would just create a lot of elitism and a lot of bands would form for the sole purpose of winning once they figured out the formula. Let's just keep it at concern level so they can all interact instead of compete.

Boston, MA? That's the city in which I live. We don't have much of a metal scene, and I don't think there are any Boston bands that rank anywhere close to my favorites. All I can think of in terms of bands from Boston are The Red Chord, Watchmaker, Goratory, and Shadows Fall (who aren't even really from Boston, and I don't like at all).

DieCast
Killswitch Engage
Unearth (Winthrop, close enough)
Cannae
All That Remains
Embrace Today
Bury Your Dead

A ton more...... You might not like them, but they are extremely talented still. (Boston most noted for metalcore scene which alot of you hate so no wonder )

[Astrum]

Because V5 is doing more important things.
