did anyone have a look at my friend or fiend anon669(not just a neighbour of the beast , but diagonally opposite)'s review of the AMA's he posted on BrisMetal.com? He/she/it, we'll presume he, from "the internet", was really keen for everyone to go and have a look at this, earlier in this (and other) forums, and if you haven't read it already, i'm going to take a moment to summarise, and elaborate where necessary and we can think about what kind of 'expert' we're dealing with...
i'll start by setting the scene... the 'artist', assuming the alias 'steve_mcfly' boasts being, by screen shot, banned from forums for assumingly dissing the AMA's efforts to promote aussie metal, then we find out that 'he' has a 'no junk mail' sign, doesn't like nazi's (which i find bizarre coz most of the BM kunts i know are either nazi's or bikies...) and owns a "nice Cannon camera"?
Already I'm thinking, this guy is confused... a BM nazi that lives with his mum(or elderly wife), attends anti-nazi rallies, and supports japanese commercialisation. but anyway, let us continue...
'He' got to the AMA early, not to seem too eager, but to see Bane of Isildor because they were "good" (not coz they tore the whole show into top gear \m/). 'He' didn't think they were too good though because of the sound. (or was it because their banner would never fit inside a corner/underground pub?) I then get the impression that 'he' is out of the "18-35 range" by the way 'he' describes the "{deliciously slutty} scene bicycle giving every arriving male in the 18-35 range hugs". Again, not a bad thing cos he's older than 35, just developing the character.
We then learn 'he' is bogan enough to go for a drive to the bottle'o rather than pay $6 for a drink, although this gets contradicted later. Then, 'he' describes Oroborous as being better before they are now better musicians? wtf (I apologise for my ignorance to Oroborous, but i don't know any of your Dred stuff, anywho, i thought you kicked ass, even after Bane of Isildor set such a high opening standard.).
'He' didn't like 5-star... maybe Adam made him dizzy, or maybe they played so tight that 'he' felt a little epeleptic.
So, let's summarise so far... 'he' is a 35+ yo, virgin, nazi, 'eastie'(in sydney lingo) bogan, living with mum, dissing bands 'he' only dreams about being in and that have worked hard enough to become better musicians and play on a stage that could accommodate a 10' banner.
This is where the review makes a turn towards browntown...
"Finally after an interlude at the Bavarian Bier Cafe drinking schnapps". -ooo la-di-phucking-da. I enjoy schnapps at bavarian bier halls but you can get phucked if you think i'm going to pay $6 for a beer?!?
Then on to Sadistik...
"See Rok made the smart decision circa 15 years ago to stop drinking". were you blind, or did you have your schnapps glasses on?
"As a result in his 40-odd years he still looks like a human being as opposed to a withered troll". was the word 'sexy' too gay for you at this point?
''He did look great on stage and his voice was excellent". you should've asked to go backstage, i'm sure the whole band would've gagged you, like a spastic-eagle. And if smoking a carton of cigarettes a day for 30 years is what makes an excellent voice, then it sure was excellent.
"My main complaint would be that...Rok was not wearing fishnet stockings" HA! what you meant to say is 'Rok would've looked sexier if he was wearing fishnet stockings', but that would've sounded that little bit more queer. I'm sure that image went straight into the wank-bank. gag,gag.
One thing I will agree with though, "it was a distinct pleasure to witness this event".
So now that we know what kind of expert anon66.9 is, i hope we can push 'him' back to 'his' underground cave to die, so that the rest of the metal community can move on.
A big salute \m/ to the Chaos boys and everyone that was nominated, you've all worked hard and it was great to hear some new bands that i've never heard of before, and that is what this event was for. Introducing everyone open-minded-enough-to-pay-attention to more great bands from our great country.
An even bigger salute \m/ to nat and mat (and everybody that made the show come together) for their hard work and perseverance, i hope a couple of bottom dwellers don't deter you from doing it again in years to come.
If Death Metal was 10 years ago, shouldn't we now call it Dead Metal?
