Is it hypocritical to support the lockdown if you yourself do not obey all of the rules? For the record, I am totally opposed to the lockdown, and always have been. However I have tended to follow the rules.

Welcome. I believe that your home city is known as the gateway to the west.

And nice for us to meet you. Welcome to the site.

Welcome to the forum. I see that you are from the same country that gave us Scorpions and Accept.

Welcome Jack. Have you checked out the promote yourself section of the forum?

I actually had that thread in my mind when I posted above. Yes, I could have checked out Primordial, but did not. When you - I think it was you - noted that there is indeed a band called Primordial, I accepted the rebuke with a good grace.

Instead of assuming anything about The Sixsters, maybe you could just check them out. It is what the internet is for. I would not class them as metal, but they are definitely good role models for young musicians. I donated some money to them on GoFundMe, and was supposed to be rewarded with a copy of their debut album, but the link did not work. I am not bothered.

A few weeks ago I received an email link from The Sixsters to a digital download of their debut album. It went into my spam folder, and so I did not find it until the other day. I clicked on the link, but nothing happened. I am not bothered though. They made an album, and my money helped them. Edit: it occurs to me that maybe The Sixsters should not be classed as a metal band, but they are definitely a rock band, and any one of them might be playing heavy metal music at some point in the future.

Welcome.

Welcome to the forum Aimy. I do not wish to sound harsh, but frankly I have other things to do with 30 to 40 minutes than take a survey, and I am not sure I would know what to do with an Amazon voucher in a foreign currency.

You make a good point, but in the age of the internet it is possible to work with people in other locations, including on other continents. So for example if I were posting, I would begin my thread title with either "North of England" or "Online project".

Welcome - rather belatedly - to the forum. I am sorry no one welcomed you any sooner. I own guitars as well, and I have also dabbled in song writing.

Welcome to the site Ed. I would like to say that I know lots of Spanish bands, but right now I cannot think of any except Los Del Rio.

Welcome to the site. LA has produced many famous bands over the years. I used to be a huge fan of The Bangles when younger.

Welcome to the site, Kevin. I used to own a live album by Deep Purple on which Ian Gillan praised the friendliness of the people of Oslo.
