Japan Metal
« 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?


And me, I`ve got a black place in my heart
Still got this hole in me
Perhaps - I am the master of nothing?

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 !
