| Comment | I haven't really experienced the metal scene in Glasgow. I think classic metal & punk scenes have always had great vibes, then there was that awful period where the post-punk/[whatever]core metal scene came up with all the poser bullshitters screaming nonsensically and throwing windmills in the pit ... they can fuck off. As far as I can tell that somehow led to a death metal resurgence since then and we're back to the good old days of battle jackets and mosh pit etiquette? Afraid by then I'd gone from punk to goth to industrial to electronica, and now I'm 1/2 cheesy synthwave and 1/2 acoustic folk, depending on my mood.
The gig scene for indie rock/folk is great if you like following up and coming famous bands but not so much if you like playing and having a laugh. I saw a lot more experimentation and weird stuff at gigs in Dundee, because everyone kinda knew you weren't going to get a record label by playing Duke's Corner or Drouthy's. |
