Author I commend you.
Metal has never been about humouring people and not treading on toes - it's the opposite, it is an extremity of speed, aggression etc. That's why I have no qualms about saying that Perth (and Australian) metal is shit, no one I have seen has the combination of balls, vision and skill to step out from under the shadow of international influecnces and create something independent of outside influence.
Of course last time I said that a bunch of under-educated neanderthals were threatening to come and beat me up - the truth hurts!
And who the fuck are YOU? Seems like you've just spent a fair amount of time bagging out the Perth scene but what have you ever done to contribute? Fuck all i'm guessing! Better yet what was the point of this rant? Cant see too many people around here jumping at the chance to agree with you...
Why would he want to contribute to the scene if the scene is shit? Why would people want to get involved in the scene if it's shit?
I know dozens of people that are into extreme metal and are talented musicians but wouldn't and wont ever involve themselves with the Perth scene because the bands are shit, the people are bogans and everyone listens to Slipknot and Tool.
Here we were thinking you had actually learnt something from the whole debacle before but you've reverted back to being a total nitwit.
1. You make somewhat contradicting statements
2. From your uneducated guesses you obviously haven't seen enough local acts to be able to comment on what is around or what state the scene is in, because there are plenty that fulfil your criteria, and go beyond it
3. You must be hanging around the wrong clueless idiots (read perthbands) if you think everyone listens to Slipknot and Tool
4. If someone thought the scene was shit (because of their lack of knowledge), then that would be MORE reason for them to contribute or get involved, if they think they can do better or improve it.
Thought you would have learnt from before but obviously you're a slow learner. Let me spell it out for you. If you are totally clueless and pig-ignorant about a subject, and then you decide to comment about it, you're going to come off looking like a class A moron (which you've done multiple times now). It doesn't matter whether it is about metal or nuclear physics. You're out of your depth so if you decide to comment then be prepared to realise you will only make yourself look stupid.
