music makes the world go round,

guess you're right. foreign albums in romania are pretty expensive and often appear later than anywhere else. so don't think there are much sales going on. the only way for a band to raise some cash from the fans is to concert. i mean big bands in front of crowds larger than 1000 people because otherwise not much money comes from this. but some bands are just made up or managed by money grabbing assholes. durna duran came in romania and their concer tickets were more expensive than those sold in chicago or bratislava to give just two examples. megadeth came in 2005 and a ticket costed 50 RON which is very resonable considering the stature of megadeth. hm..thez were cheaper than nightwish, placebo, tiamat..and out of all these bands i like megadeth the most. seen placebo, seen tiamat but unfortunately misse megadeth :P . hope they will return because i really want to see them in concert. i'm also expecting maiden and system of a down

trying to diversify my bands a little so i started downloading arch enemy (death metal) and dream evil (heavy metal). some melodic death bands seem to have potential and also seem to annoy me less than black metal ones so maybe i will give extremes one more chance

I guess you are lucky being in Bucharest too, as if any foreign bands are going anywhere in Romania then thats where they will go. I am quite fortunate that a lot of big bands come to Bournemouth, but usually only they come for one night which means they sell out quick. I wanted to go and see Girls Aloud later this year (you can stop laughing now!), but they sold out almost immediately. Incubus are playing soon, but i have no one to go with so will prob give them a miss. Iron Maiden always used to come down my way but am guessing they have not toured for ages as have not seen them advertised anywhere.

iron maiden had a big tour in the u.s. and another one in europe at the end of this year to promote their lates album a matter of life and death. previously they had the death on the road tour for dance of death. the guys are still alive. hope their next tour brings them to romania or maybe even hungary because since i can travel abroad much easier as an e.u. citizen maybe i will be able to see it.

i'm not laughing at you because of grils aloud. it's just not my thing. i saw a concert by sugababes and they sang nice and stuff but both them and the audience were sitting down. come on, you don't sit down at a concert unless it's an acoustic one and even then only the singer sits. rock concerts are always more energetic and i realy like that.

bands should really consider coming to romania. romanian fans are hungry right now and they are always willing to give a scorching hot performance. the guys from tiamat were really impressed by the crowd and they should be because they were chanting, singigng, yelling all throughout the concert.

I doubt Girls Aloud would be seated, if it was I wouldn't go. I know there is seating in the balconies, but it is standing in the main section in front of the stage. Its sold out anyhow. For Faithless concert last year I had to buy off ebay which cost me a lot more than the tickets were worth.

What would you say the average price for a ticket is to see a well known foreign band in Romania?

i'm guessing about 20 quid. don't know for sure what the excange rate is. about 100 RON. it can be less, it can be more. less is better

downloaded arch enemy and dream evil. will give them a good listen later. but i think i lost some of the enthusiasm about death metal. we'll see.

back to death metal news gave arch enemy a decent listen and i decided to let them stay in my playlist. i even have favourite songs. they have really nice instrumentals and the voice, the thing that bothers me the most in death and black bands, is not that bad :think:

Why is death metal called "Death Metal" ??

i don't think i get your question. why is it with capital letters or where does the word death come from?

death has evolved out of thrash metal and it took things a little closer to the edge. growling vocals and dark themes mosty related iwth death..so there you go. will study arch enemy lyrics toknow what i am talking about but most of it is about rebelling and sad stuff.

That answers my question perfectly
