death metal is too heavy for me. And the musical structure are complex too, thus make it sound less catchy to my ears than thrash metal.

it came from local news coverage who seams to put everything that seams fit rather than actual facts..

Hi, I am new here/

Can Linkin Park be considered as a Metal band?

metal scene is pretty slow now a days ... no new materials coming out ... the latest good album that i am listening to is "as i lay dying - The PowerLess Rise", any good recommendation?

but for me, i love thrash metal more..  nice riff with melodic guitar solo ... awesome 

I'm lamenting on the fact that I don't have enough money to complete Metallica's CD collection. dammit. Only then I can move to Judas Priest. Kinda loved them after sampling The Hellion/ Electric Eye.

Btw, do any of you guys know where I can legitly sample Metal band music? I don't really wanna download, I just wanna try a few songs and decide if the album is worthy of picking up. If all else fails, Itunes. haha.

Metallica play the whole The Call of Ktulu at Melbourne concert. Video available at Metontour.com

lol, maybe i'm tired and it's gone totally over my head, but i'm totally not sure if you're being serious.

Anyways, there are plenty of Asian bands people consider to be brilliant.

As I see it, Japan has the biggest scene followed by Korea, then after that I guess it's a toss up between Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and maybe the Philippines since it seems to be quite Americanised. Actually I saw a documentary on Punk in China which was an eye opener.

Later, Mustaine used the main riff of that song for Megadeth's song - When(on album The World Need a Hero) 

Maiden tickets to Bali just cleared along with flight tickets.  Anyone else heading there? Also Wacken most probably

Of course Japan's biggest music scene would be pop, that is de-facto everywhere. I doubt there is a country on Earth where Metal is the most popular music of the nation.

I'd still maintain that Japan has the biggest metal scene in Asia. I'm not just referring to amount of bands, but also the purchasing market. Whenever bands come to this side of the world, it is guaranteed that they'll play Japan (not just Tokyo either, multiple dates) because the market is there, people have the money and will turn up to the gigs. Japanese bands also get out and play Europe and Asia on a regular basis.

I agree with the comment about bands singing in English, kinda takes away from their 'voice'. Although there are some bands that do manage to keep an authenticity to them. There are some bands who can't hold a conversation in English, but will have songs sung in English, makes me wonder how the hell they wrote them.

Coming back to one of your earlier comments, do you really think that European/north American countries produce more bands because they are more well off financially?
