The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Guys, i feel i probably shouldn't say this as it's bound to get me a slagging, but fuck it, i'll hold myself up to ridicule anyway.
My name is bigfootkit, i've been a Heavy metal fan for 30 years and a geek collector type for most of that time too, and although i remember seeing ads for Savage Grace's records in the press at the time, i never heard them until about 3 years ago.
(Bigfootkit is impaled on a stake and pelted with rotten fruit by a baying mob as they chant "Your Steel Is Not True".)

Stuff arrives in peoples lives at different times in different ways. To slate a young band by questioning their knowlege of the genre seems like you're trying to catch them out on a technicality. If the band sucks, they suck, but to hold their lack of musical knowlege against them does seem like snobbery to me.
To my way of thinking, there probably should be a "Corroseum Centre Of Metal Excellence", where we can send all those shitey emo bands for reprogramming, but if everyone in young bands only knew the same bands then the chances are, they'd all turn out sounding the same. Maybe their lack of knowlege of Savage Grace can be of benefit to them musically, helping them to find something unique of their own to put into the music.
I've never actually heard Striker, are they any good?

not bad,but after a while is just kind of the same ol´same ol´ thing with all this new bands....

My bad.

Changed!

Wow! A happy ending to my imaginary mob-handed death, no slagging for my relatively recent "discovery" of Savage Grace and credit for my funny line.
What's going on?
Are you guys trying to lull me into a false sense of security before you give me a real roasting?
Thanks, all this made me smile.

Listen you twat, why the fuck haven't you heard of bloody Savage bloody Grace. You strut around the forums like a freakin Fonzi wannabe giving it all that in your fake leather jacket. I've got you sussed, the pitchforks are sharpened and the torches have been lit.

I have listened to Heavy Metal since 1983, and I have never ever heard of Savage Grace. Never even seen the name before I started to read this thread. 95% of my friends are metalheads too, and I have never ever heard them say the name Savage Grace. I have probably read 10-15 books about Heavy Metal in my life and hundreds of articles, and I have never seen their name. So what?

I once met a girl who liked music. But she didn't know who ABBA was. And she is from Sweden...

What is more strange to me is when you find "obscure" old metal where you don't expect it to be. Two days ago I saw a 14-15 year old girl running to the bus. She was wearing a Wheels Of Steel Saxon t-shirt.. I mean.. She was probably born 1995, i.e. 15 years BEFORE Wheels of Steel was released... That would be like me (who was born in 1970) in 1985 wearing a t-shirt from an artist who was active in 1955. That would be so more absurd than not knowing a half-obscure band like Savage Grace.

That's more like it!!!

oh come on now, anyone know Savage Grace! ...ive been into speed metal for more than 4 years now, and trust me, it was one of my very first speed metal bands to become my favorite, just next to Exciter,Iron Angel and Living Death!

Never heard of Exciter,Iron Angel and Living Death either

I probably know 675,987 other bands that you don't, so we are even

i bet so,im just 21,and ive been into undergound metal for just 7 years now...but anyways, u r kidding me right? if so "ha ha"

Well, I've actually never heard Savage Grace to this day and I am? a mod on this forum. Of course, I'm not in a Speed Metal band and Speed isn't my favorite style. And I couldn't say the guy is a poser for not knowing this band in particular, although I agree with finding it weird. I guess it would be something like meeting a guy in an "old school Death Metal band" who hasn't heard Insanity. Possible, yet strange.
