Profanity - out of curiosity, why are you so obsessed with the geographical location of bands? Are you doing some super-involved, scientific study on whether there are certain regions that seem to promote creativity or something?


I've been wondering the exact same thing.
 
Birmingham for: Black Sabbath, Bolt Thrower, Cathedral, Judas Priest and Napalm Death.

Yorkshire for: Bal Sagoth, My Dying Bride and Paradise Lost.

Newcastle for: Sabbat, Skyclad and Venom.

Liverpool for: CARCASS!!!

Manchester for: Nothing, all these bands suck.

The South for: Electric Wizard, Gorerotted, Iron Maiden.
 
Profanity - it'd be a lot easier to take your threads seriously if they weren't all on pretty much exactly the same topic - the cynical side of me is beginning to wonder whether you're using these threads just to display a huge list of bands you know of in a cock-waving 'look how knowledgable I am' kind of way. Is there a genuine reason why you're so obsessed with the geographical location of the bands you're listening to?
