Eagleclaw

This was the band headlining the show at the Red 7 that night.
Lets make something clear: I was at the show to see my friend Jamey play, but also because there was a raffle going on to have the chance to win a brand new Orange bass amp. Like, 500 watts or something. Great deal. However, you had to have not only entered the raffle, but stay the whole night, or at least show up at the end of the show to be able to claim it.
So, LSD was boring. So Rozie and I were just sitting around hoping that Eagleclaws set wouldn't be as painful. It was.
It's not particularly fair of me to say that considering that we didn't stay the whole time, which means we didn't win the amp. As a matter of fact we left during their first song...about 8 minutes into it or so.
Saying that, they had the same problem as LSD. They were really really boring, and by that time I had even less patience. But also, I was told that this band was very Metallica/Iron Maiden but instrumental, the problem with that statement is that it was completely false, or at least it was based on what I had heard before I lost my patience.
I have a real problem with certain people in the metal community. Not even the community, just any metalhead. That problem is, there are some people that listen strictly to metal because it's metal and nothing else, and be close minded assholes about it. And that bothers me because there's a lot of metal that they're listening to, such as this, that is super fucking boring and is only popular because people don't know what good metal is so they just find something that's metal and just like it regardless of if it's actually good. Because metal. You know? There are some metalheads that will like any metal simply because metal. That is silly to me, because at that point, it's merely about the image and not the music. Sure, a lot of metal is the image, so is any other genre with their own image; it's the balancing of the image and  the music that make said artist worth listening to. And from what I can see, a lot of people in the world of metal seem to forget that, or they never learned it.
