Just Say Rock - STRYPER -- Sydney -- Thursday 26th August

As this is a public blog (and I'm there to 'end' Metallophobia, not continue it), I will try and refrain from saying exactly what I think about some 'members' of the 'trOOOer than thou' crowd - partially because for many years, and many times, I have said what I had to say about them many a time; and secondly, I don't want to carry a grudge, even though it's *me* who's in the Dog House with them for some reason or other that I don't know of; and thirdly, some people I thought were my friends are telling me to 'get over it'.

But, this is a Christian band - yes, they are Christians *and* Headbangers at the same time!!! I don't know how it would turn out, but I doubt very much that everyone that I don't particularly like will be there. After all, they *are* the 'trOOer than thou' crowd, and I'm sure they wouldn't be seen dead at a Christian gig - it might compromise their 'street cred' (if you know what I mean).

Oh, well, I'm going to say a decand of the rosary for this one (in the hope they won't be there), and hope things would turn out okay if I do go.

Casey Heynes and Bullying

I have copied and pasted this blog entry onto the End Metallophobia blog (from my regular Night Owl blog).  Even though it is not specifically relevant to heavy metal, I think it is important to understand we all have times in our lives where we are bullied in some form or another, and we all have our 'breaking points'.  In particular, metalheads who have been bullied and can relate to it will enjoy it.  A few weeks' ago, this youngster (a 15 year-old boy from St Mary's, NSW, Australia) was on the news. He didn't do anything particularly 'extraordinary' but his actions had extraordinary outcomes for many people who could relate to his story, who are surprised what they are capable of when they decide to fight back. It shows that we all have our breaking point, and even though none of us wants to reach it, sometimes it is a necesary evil Casey Heynes was one such person who, for most of his life, was bullied for being overweight, but when he hit high school...

Why I love Rock and hate the Dance scene

By Laine Michelle Allen (a friend on Facebook) Share Yesterday at 06:55 OMG where do I start....There's been a few things said about the rock scene lately that is really getting to my nerves and I had to get this off my chest.... Despite the fact one of my dad's favourite bands is ACDC he was being a bit of a smart ass to me and my cousin when he tried to prove rock bands don't last long.... so he asked "Name one band that has lasted over 10 years..... As much as I love my dad, my cousin and I shot him down in flames as the list went on: ACDC, motley crue, gunners, iron maiden, judas priest, bonjovi, kiss, dokken, megadeth, metallica, skid row.... omg the list just goes on. DANCE PEOPLE: Can you name any pop group who has been going for nearly twenty years, still producing albums to this day AND DOES NOT USE MUSIC ENHANCING to make themselves sound good. Another point of mine: half of it is remixes and voice enhancing effects to the point where I reckon with the t...
