The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Don't forget the Polka. Polka is a almost immediate headbanger according to some members.



I already knew this Sabre.

He,he...You must create a subforum called "Poisonmelody"!!

I'm sorry Sir, you have not specified what is allowed to upload here, but I saw Jody St. and thought it could be something heavier .... however this is censorship, isn't it?
Anyway, sorry Ryür. no Hostage single in other words, it's of the same caliber as Sabre, not allowed to upload here. Will not upload anything here either, it's not worth the time to spend buying the stuff, ripping and cutting the trax.

No, we don't have any rules for it and I guess everyone's allowed to upload *whatever* he wants. However, being in a metal forum and seeing the 8 out of 10 of the latest uploads being labeled as aor, melodic hard rock, power pop and god knows what else makes me feel weird somehow.

Do you really only need the crap that's uploaded since ages elsewhere or better something unknown? I thought so, but as I said, for me it's over with ripping etc. More important things to do ...

Take note that I'm not speaking on behalf of the whole forum. For me personally, the majority of the last uploads leaves me totally cold, I haven't even bothered checking out at least half of them. Whether they're rare, expensive or much sought after is also totally irrelevant.
Making a separate section devoted to non-metal stuff would really help the people who don't want to waste their time checking out something that has very little to do with metal, if anything at all.
Finally, please don't act like a crybaby whenever someone posts something not-so-positive about your uploads. It's only music, and it's not even music you wrote on your own, so take it easy and don't get winded up. Sharing stuff is generally appreciated here, especially when it comes from your own collection and it's not lifted from any random blog on the internet. That doesn't mean that everything has to be glorified and receive positive comments everytime though.

I was thinking long ago that perhaps subforum dedicated to non-Metal stuff related to Land Of Mystery would be s, but as creation of anything new seems unlikely I guess this and similar threads would fit in Land Of Mystery properly.

It's all a matter of taste and opinion at the end of the day.
Personally, I have no interest in anything of a Death/Black/Gore/Grind etc nature, so i don't d/l or comment on anything posted in that style as i know it just isn't likely to be to my taste.
Likewise, there is a degree of crossover between Metal/Hard Rock/AOR which means it will appeal to some board members whilst leaving others unmoved.
Perhaps people could in future give a description of the style of music when posting in Poisonoise to give downloaders an idea of what to expect?
Criticising the people who are sharing music just because it's not your thing stylistically will only discorage people from sharing any type of music here.

I don't think I said anywhere "DO NOT upload" this kind of material, what I suggested from my first post is that we could make a separate section here in poisonoise, so people who have an interest in power pop, aor or pop rock could continue their activities and discussions there. I firmly believe that those styles have nothing to do with metal and probably there can't be any kind of "crossover" between them. It has nothing to do with "restrictions", "close-mindedness", being a metal crusader or whatever and I don't understand why we are making such an issue at this point.
To sum it up, if there's an interest in non-metal stuff, yes we can make a special section for it somewhere in the forum for those involved in one way or another, saving at the same time the rest from the "trouble" of having to download and listen to things only to realize that they have zero interest in them and that they shouldn't have bothered checking them out in the first place. Putting everything, aor, power pop, psych pop, gangsta rap, ambient, detroit techno, in the same basket, just because there are a few fans here and there, doesn't make sense though.

Ion, you may have taken what i said as some kind of personal attack.
Just to clarify, that was not my intent.
I do take issue with your flat assertion that there is no crossover between AOR and Metal however.
Perhaps it's an age thing, but when i was a young tyke in the late 70's/early 80's Hard Rock, Heavy Metal & AOR weren't poles apart, and Prog Rock was also a pretty close relative sometimes.
It was the same audiences (to a greater or lesser degree) who bought the records and went to gigs by bands across this broader musical spectrum, and the musical influences of the different styles crossed the genre boundaries as a result of this.
Just look at the sheer variety of music produced under the NWoBHM umbrella for instance.
You need only dig out some early 80's rock mags to see the diversity of bands covered or look at the gig guides therin to see some of the disparate bands who shared concert bills back then.
I recall going to see Uriah Heep with Shy supporting and my very next gig was UFO with Pallas opening up.
Not that i'm a huge AOR or Prog fan, but the diversity back then did seem to benefit bands, in that they had a broader pool of stylistic influences to draw on and (to my way of thinking), this enabled them to come up with much more unique musical identities.
As this is a resolutely old school forum i think it's right that we reflect that old-school musical landscape, because that is where the music we have in common was born.
Anyway i'm slipping slightly off-topic here, so i'll merely suggest that the proposed idea of a 'not-strictly-Metal' d/l area seems a solid idea.
Perhaps the proposal should be voted on via a poll?

Done.

Ended up giving this a listen now, wow, it really is THAT bad

I don't mind that it's been posted here though, I'll check anything out really and always like to know more about what's out there, listening to something that isn't really metal for a few seconds doesn't bother me The forum is pretty slow overall and another sub-forum seems a bit pointless, it might end up having less than a dozen posts and then quickly becoming even more stagnant, but, whatever.

I'm thinking of simply making another thread entitled accordingly, just as in 'The worst of the worst' stuff. None of the mods has the privilege of making a separate subforum anyway, only Dan can do that and you know what that means...

I just wonder - i am the only one who knows how to delete mp3 ?
