-HH- Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 A music scene is a city full of venues where you can go and see a band of any genre you fancy on a regular basis if you're so inclined. There's a really active metal/hardcore scene up here and a pretty good indie scene. There's a fairly strong but rapidly dwindling pop/punk scene as the pop-punk kids are growing into hardcore kids. A music scene is NOT a party at a band's house after the gig for everyone who attended because they all went to school together.New Noise/Korova is where all that shit happens now. Nothing has changed, you're just not a part of it any more and in 10 years time the current clique of bands will be the 'old boys' talking of how their scene died a death when the next wave of kids pick up guitars.xxYou don't know who I am, do you?You have no idea of how involved I am, yet you have made statements that I can tell you are b*******Firstly our metal/hardcore scene is terrible, I'm part of it. I play to 50 kids, I watch shows where their is 20 of us.Korova is terrible, it is nothing like Moshulu and never will be. It's full of assholes, and people looking fights and no one knows anyone, and has no intentions of meeting new people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 I thought this was a discussion, not an argument, i'm not getting angry about it all, i'm just giving my opinion.I am too, I'm just a cantankerous wanker who enjoys expressing his opinion in a very arsey, cuntish way. "Shit" being the key word therePersonally, I agree. But that all comes back to the point I was making - it's not a scene it's a clique and it's awesome if you're on the inside otherwise it's shite.xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyEB Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Bus into town with guitar on back, hanging on belmont st and top of st nicholas. I regularly head into town with a loaded six-string on my back, what's more, I play for keeps as I might not make it back. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What fucking difference does it make to this discussion?You're upset that your band don't have anyone coming to your shows? Maybe your band are just shit and now that your mates won't come along purely because their your mates you're stroppy because your gigs are empty?What a contradictory statement to make... they are all assholes because no-one wants to make friends with you? And as for the "looking for fights" thing - that's what drunk kids do!xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for that being I don't know you. This place was and still is full of people shouting their mouth of about people and things they no nothing about.My band may well be shit, I don't play music for anyone else. I play music that I want to, and write the music I believe is good.Korova is generally full of assholes who think their some rock god, and walk about like.."Do you not, know who I am??"Im here for good times and laughs, not to blow sunshine up some guys ass and polish his knob.

Those are the same kids who walk around town wearing their guitar like a fashion accessory. The same kids who you said you used to be one of, and didn't see any more. The scene is exactly the same. You're just not in one of the cliques any more, so it all looks like wankers being cunts and the whole thing is shit.As for the "I write and perform music I like, regardless of anyone else's opinion" stuff, I 100% agree. If you play a good gig it doesn't matter if it's to 5 people or 5,000. (Obviously it matters a little, if you played to 5,000 you can make a living from your music and all the rules start to change, but that's wayyy off topic).However: the bit in bold, I (ironically) have no idea who or what you're talking about...xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are playing the music they like, maybe they are the popular gigs you don't go to. I was never there "back in the day" but it sounds a bit like "do you not know who i am" with a little bit of back slapping thrown in as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-HH- Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 If it was I would be saying who I am and so on.I have no interest is saying I am such and such, I played with such and such.My point is purely this scene is not what it was, and their are numerous factors involved.I just wanted to know what peoples opinions on what happened was, turned into abit of me v the world hahaStroopy just out of interest, what are your thoughts on bands:GraderDwellerAutumn In DisguiseShinerPrelude To The HuntHounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Grader - Love some of their stuff, some of it notsomuchDweller - Love em. Fuckin' Love em.Autumn In Disguise - A bit of a take-or-leave affair IMHO. Some of their early stuff was pretty cool but also rather grated on me at times. The new stuff just sounds like would-be Katy Perry songs with a very girly guy doing the vox. It's pop music for people who don't want to like pop music.Shiner - Heard the name, never followed them though.Prelude To The Hunt - See Shiner. Heard a few of their tunes though and quite liked them, just never really followed them.Hounds - Absolutely no idea who they are.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the fudge awards, none of the above have been considered, so is it peoples failure to keep up with the times that has caused the decay?Teabags, hockey on saturday?

Largely you have to have played a Fudge gig during the year to be nominated, I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're getting at but remember you mentioned the local band threads and it's a bit of a wasteland! Everyone has heard of AID because of their (absolutely fucking incessant) online campaign for the Red Bull thing. Dweller I heard of through here and twitter, Grader I'm a friend of one of the members but if the rest aren't advertising their stuff enough then that's the fault of the bands, not the scene.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
