is there 'race-specific' metal?

J.B.O. is a parody band, so perhaps it has the same kind of appeal as Weird Al Yankovic to Americans?sovdat wrote:Perhaps some German members of the board can reveal how the fuck they love all those ultra shitty bands like J.B.O. so much?!?! Does it go well with beer and sausages or what??

Can't explain that, I don't understand why either on any of these. I guess the pee&shit humor goes well with a few beers downed to some. But the sausage thing is quite exaggerated. We don't run around with these all day you know.sovdat wrote:Perhaps some German members of the board can reveal how the fuck they love all those ultra shitty bands like J.B.O. so much?!?! Does it go well with beer and sausages or what?? I still have to meet one non German person that'll say something positive about those German party "metal" bands, yet on the other hand many German metalheads, no matter how big fans of real metal they are, praises them so much ...
Another "German" thing, from the festivals: sitting in front of the van / camp place all day long with a beer in the hand, sausages and beloved Bohse Oknelz (or whichever band) in the car stereo, and they only go inside to see some main bands in the evening???
Of course not all Germans are like that, don't get me wrong, but from my experiences from various German metal festivals (and there were quite a few of them during the years + I've meet quite a few German people there too) there's a lot of that kind of people and definitely a lot more than in the other places ...

but does any of you think race/where/how you grew up has anything to do with taste in music/metal? was it embedded on our dna helix that we would grow up to love a certain metal genre and not care about another? is there metallic darwinism?
*************************************************
How I grew up was the main reason, I was interested in metal. Most kids who had parent like mine YUPPIES, were into indie rock/ new wave of punk rock/ art rock and guitar pop. MTV back in 81-83 had alot of music for kids who wore polo-shirts.
I thought were IS THE DANGER!
Oh yeah race for sure. I am half Native American and half Scandinavian. And since my parents were all into classical music ( i still worship this stuff), I knew my racial references were towards the European, since I never gave a rat*ass about Native American culture. My mom says I am the whitest person she knows !!!!
Oh where I lived had alot to do with my musical taste, when I lived in Key West, Florida in 1982. All they had a TAPE store, not even a f@*&! record store but TAPES, and of course the music selections were 5 years behind the times.
Like the stores stock was picked from Hit Parader, Circus Magazine and the book Encyclopedia Metallica. So I only could grow backwards to the roots of hard rock and traditional heavy metal, because there was no cutting edge metal releases in stock.
If you wanted something Like Discharge "See Nothing, Say Nothing, Hear Nothing" my friend Derek had that on vinyl... you had to go all the way up to Miami to buy vinyl.
In October 1982 we were Moving to Fresno, California and the RV broke down in Las Vegas, Nevada. And my dad being a total indulgent gambler, thought this was a godsend a gamblers paradise. And for me a total metal GODSEND for godly metal...where we moved to. Was a 2 minute walk to a Import and Independent Heavy Metal Record store called Molten Metal Records, across town had the Record Gallery (all imports and METAL only labels... NO RELEASE CARRIED BY MAJOR LABELS!!!!!) and 2 miles away was a record store called Odyssey Records.
Heavy metal was the regional trend along with hardcore punk. And I would not doubt heavy metal was the National trend United State of America, back in Oct 82.
What I thank my parents and my lucky stars the most for is being born in May 1967...because I was 13 when Tygers of Pan Tang, Angel Witch, Iron Maiden, Saxon released debut or second albums. I was 15 when I moved to Nevada to experience the debut or second albums by Bitch, Jaguar, Exciter, Anvil, Oz, Metallica, Acid, Mercyful Fate, Slayer and Anthrax. RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME !!!!!
I was further blessed because I never had to choose between LA hard rock aka glam rock, and British Heavy Metal, or American thrash metal...because Metallica/ Anthrax were all the rage alongside with the heavier NWOBHM acts. Because no one where I lived no-one took Ratt, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot serious at all (because the rockers were into Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, Discharge, Misfits, ChargedGBH, Ramones, Sex Pistols) Real hardcore hard rock. PUNK ROCK
Glam bands meant noting to Las Vegas metal fans, even though Los Angles was 250 miles away and Bay area thrash was everything which was 650 miles away.
I do think DNA or whatever had any factor in my choosing heavy metal as a genre.
My mom listen to classical music non-stop when she was pregnant with me. I choose heavy metal, because I thought rock and roll was WAY too slow, and suffered from pop culture mentality's, of writing songs like radio commercial jingles.
I originally did not crave the speed in speed metal / power metal/ thrash metal/ death metal/ black metal, because of incremental increases in speed by heavy metal acts.
But because of listening to majestic classical music (for a decade and a half non-stop) that is dark in mood, fast as hell when the songs crescendos, and there is alot of "head banging/ foot-tapping" music that will get your jaw to drop, and to get floored by, as well as music that sends chills up and down your spine.
If AOR/ hard/ glam rockers listened to classical music for a week, they could understand why metal fans have no interest in AOR music & POP music.
