Title: Japan Metal
Post by: lotus on May 05, 2016, 01:14:21 PM

Had a look around, saw Jonathan Green & Babymetal
Thought, what`s that and what I found - should I laugh or cry or?
Still not knowing what Green and Babymetal have in common
Some years ago I heard Japan Metal is a new trend (I didn`t follow) and now these Babymetal play Wembley Arena

Not allowed by GEMA to follow the offical band channel (only GEMA perhaps knows why - money?)

Seems to be perfect light and sound performance with playback and some girls looking like manga school girls dancing and x% playback singing...

Perhaps I`m too old for this kind of metal, metal groups and their version of "live"- gigs - any fans here for that style?

OK, Babymetal & EarMusic - but what does this

Have you tried Electric Eel Shock .

I love them. I first came across them supporting Presidents Of USA and thought they were flippin mental. The drummer played only wearing a sock on his **** so there was instant interest !
