Europe & United States

Call!

What's your favorite band? your favorite music? (and your age…)

What are the European bands you know?

Have you ever heard about Trust? Lacuna Coil? Children Of Bodom? Rammstein? The Gathering?

What do you think of Nightwish and Paradise Lost (in concert in US soon)?

I just want to understand american people music…
Thanks…

I would log out, turn of your computer, and run very fast…I fear an onslaught you couldn't have possibly imagined when you thought this was a good idea……

i prefer asia.

Alright, I'll bite just in case your name is Karine, and your a 30 year old girl with blue eyes from France, single and an Aquarius. If you're not, I'd follow bnyced0's advice.

Welcome to the 9:30 board. There are some rockers on the board, but there's not too much conversation about Euro Metal bands these days. Of course, you could be the trail blazer in that arena.

Why don't you hangout for a little while, get a better feel of the place and see what might interest you?

THIS POST IS NOT AN ATTACK!

It is not only about Euro Metal band! This is my reference, of course. But I just want to know if you know, in United States, European bands (not only metal bands!!!). This seems (for me) so simple… sorry to be curious!

My will was not to create a polemic. What's wrong with my questions?… my english is so bad, I know but seriously, I do not understand…


VANS> Hum, I am sorry, I am a 50-year old man, my name is Jean-Francois, I am Suiss, married with two children… so sorry…

I even changed the post name : & instead of vs. Is it better??? :)

Sorry, I really did not want to be offensive…

You're good. I was just joking with you! I think some people probably think you were a little forward in your questions and your use of a lot of exclamation points.

Like I said there are only a few rockers on the board so maybe they'll chime in soon. This board tends to be populated by indie fans and a lot of people with too much time on their hands (I fit into both categories). I recognize those bands by name, but I know little about them. Give it a few days and see if anybody else more knowledgeable then me speaks up.

And be patient - it takes a little while for people to get used to new folks.

Don't worry you certainly were not offensive, and it is obvious that you are just trying to make conversation.

This is probably just not quite the right place for the information you inquired about, but it is a good place to find out about shows coming to the area, and to follow the unimportant news of the day.

The age group on this board might is also a little young for half of your references, and too ethnocentric for the other half.

But welcome, I would certainly hope for some consideration if I were posting on a message board that wasn't in my native country or tongue.

But THIS PLACE might be more a little closer to what your looking for instead of the 930 club.

Thanks for your post, thanks thanks thanks.

Rock on, dude. Don't let The Man get you down.

really? so what if this person was? i don't get what the difference would be… beautiful & annoying is still annoying and online you don't even get the upside of starring at her cleavage or being seen with her.

bonus points for the aquarius preference, tho.

post of the month!!

Boy, I've been waiting for a post like this for a while. Primlife, don't go anywhere. YOU ROCK!

Think about how much more entertaining our threads will be here. HOT.

I will chalk it up to July 2006 vs Oct 2001. You're just going to have to trust me on this one…

this would be so much better is somehow chankra khan found a way to return. i love south african hoodia. someone should repackage the fat boys as a new name, "rap for fun band" involving the words hoodia gordonii.

metal = pro wrestling

any volunteer to really answer my questions about music in general (and not only metal)? is there anybody knowing Manu Chao for example?

bnyced0, i saw in the schedules of 9:30 such bands as Silverchair, Stone Sour, Chevelle, Megadeth, Cannibal Corpse,… and on the other way, Paolo Nutini… so i am not really sure that my questions are totally at the wrong place. 9:30 nightclub seems to be a great place with a music diversity. But i have to say that i was a little horified by what i saw on the jaxx website. Is it the only music people here know about Europe?

hippo, i am not only talking about metal but music… but i know that i am not clear…

sweetcell, i am very happy to be 6000km away from France to learn that i must be annoying… ;)

primlife - there are a lot of bands that play at the 930 club that board members won't be fans of. don't assume that just because a band plays the club that it means we necessarily like them. music knowledge runs pretty deep here, doubtful that any decent band - european acts included - would fly under everybody's radar.

as much as people kick and scream about being labeled, the main genre (sub-genre?) on this board is "indie rock", as descriptive as that isn't. britpop is well represented, along with a healthy dose of metal-heads, hip-hoppers, classic rockers, funksters, alt-country fans, etc. genres that aren't as popular here are vapid mainstream pop, commercial hard rock, diva rock, and other corporate-spawned genres where marketing > talent. just sit back for a little while and follow a few threads, that should give you an idea of what people are in to. the "what are you listening to" thread is a good place to start, although some of the recommendations there i find to be on the obscure side.

and before people jump on me for the above paragraph: yes, that was a GROSS GENERALIZATION. there are all sorts of subtleties that i've glossed over.

and yes, many of us know manu chao. he played here merriweather in june, a number of boardees were at that show.

be nice to der Schweizer. he's probably stuck on a mountain all day with goats, babysitting Heidi. am I right?

my favourite European band is the French Phoenix who have put on excellent shows at the 9:30 club.
