Role call for Heavy Metal/Extreme Metal listeners...

[Sandesh]

Any of you guys making it to Bangalore Open Air this year? The lineup seems pretty bad ass so far! Dark Tranquility, Ihsahn, Leperous, Animals as Leaders and 2 more biggies to be announced!

So how many of you listen to Metal music here? And I'm talking about classic Metal like Priest, Maiden, Sabbath

What's that saying ...'There's no school like the old school'! Iron Maiden is boss for me. What can I say about proper Metal - when played, it has a strange way of escalating emotions in any situation. My French Bulldog is named Sabbath, due to his strange resemblance to a Bat (Die-hard Ozzy fans will get the reference)! AC/DC, Judas Priest, Deep Purple (Highway Star) are my other favourites.

Well since this is a congregation of metalheads, what gear do you guys use to enjoy this genre which we hold so dear?

Denon DRW 585 Tape Deck | Sansui PD- 30 TT |ONKYO TX-DS676 AMP | ONKYO DV-S555 CD+DVD Player | Sansui S-1000j Speakers | is what I am using at this end.

P.S: Does anybody collect Metal vinyls?

Hey Neeraj just like how you would associate with the NE, I had a wild guess and it turned out to be Bangalore... Yeah evanescence is categorised as rock/metal band, in their early days the industry recognised them as a goth band nonetheless i love their music

Metal vinyl is usually in huge demand even in mature markets like the United States. People lap them up as soon as they are advertised. My personal collection includes Deep Purple records but I've stayed away from metal vinyl generally due to their pricing.

Ive got about 40 Metal vinyls in my collection (7" and 12") right from some classic stuff like Scorpions, Van Halen to Morbid Angel and heavier Death and Black Metal.

@Sandesh : I'll be there for Bangalore Open Air, it was awesome last year with Kreator, was expecting Iced Earth, a huge fan of the band, sadly they couldnt make it. Hopefully the visa issues won't pop up this year and we'll get to see the whole line up!

...Still remember those days at Styx pub in Bangalore.

They've closed the place awhile ago. Apparently, on complaints from the neighbours. I remember quite a few headbanging sessions there, putting up with their very ordinary food, watery beer and crappy PA. One less icon on MG Road...

Styx was owned by friend of mine, 'Pakya' to us

We had some good times there, with Pakya playing tunes hand picked by our group :yahoo: :licklips:

Sad that it shut down & Pakya went underground for a while :sad:

Glad to meet another Styx Regular

Styx was the place for metalheads in Bangalore. And the sight of so many people headbanging together was great. Sad to see it gone.

Incase any of you Bangalore Metalheads are interested I am selling tickets to Doom over Bangalore a show on 22nd June at No Limmits lounge and bar featuring Kryptos, Dying Embrace, Bevar Sea, Witchgoat, Dhwesha from Bangalore and Mortar from Kolkata.

Oh and i've started collecting records now..
