this (imo) is what music and metal in the States is forgetting about these days, it used to be fun.
I was a real little kid when Thrash metal first popped up in the mid-late 80's, it was something my friends older brothers turned me on to. But I remember it being so energetic and full of fun. Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, Exodus,..everyone was having fun. Then slowly through the 90's and into the 2000's music just became depressing as hell, not fun, and very derivative. And the music industry itself just sucks now and really only promotes the bands they create. It's very hard (or just impossible) for a band to form organically and gig and get a following these days in the US. Bars want DJ's, the Industry wants cookie-cutter acts they can create and control, and honestly the audience itself isn't all that great,..and a lot of people seem to prefer cover bands and tribute bands and don't want to hear original music. So when I found Band-Maid and DOLL$BOXX and Aldious I was really excited in a way I hadn't been feeling about metal for a long, long time. It was really fun stuff, and all those girls can really play and sing very well, and they write good songs. Then I finally gave BabyMetal a chance and one video led to two which led to like ten videos, ... and every video was just a whole lot of fun. Those girls are very good and very professional, and the Kami Band is just incredible. I love that every one of them is very good at their instrument. It's so nice to hear something that's new and fresh, catchy and memorable to your ears, incredibly HEAVY,...but at the same time it's rather joyous and a lot of fun. I'm about ready to buy a BabyMetal T-shirt which is about the highest honor I give a band. Wearing their schwag. Yup, they made a fan out of me. |
