I hope you can hel...Of course you belong in metal!<br /><br />I hope you can help to change the black community view on metal beacuse is dead wrong!<br /><br />I´ve been to hundreds of metal conserts and many festivals through the years in skandinavia, Germany and U.S.A.. Seen everything from classic hardrock to death metal. Not once have I seen any violence of sorts. You will meet more angry racist aggressiv idiots when you go out drinking with your friends than on any metal consert.<br /><br />You should see the documentary "Global Metal" that shows how big metal is all around the world. <br /><br />I would love to see more black girls at the metal conserts and festivals because just like Lemmy in Motörhead I love black girls.Seancehttp://seance.blogg.se/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100081350617248138.post-36971255382369553512009-11-27T22:29:00.514-08:002009-11-27T22:29:00.514-08:00@Anon-*shrug* You act like prejudice against black...@Anon-*shrug* You act like prejudice against black people is a new thing. Prejudice exist and I'm not going to sugarcoat the way people ACTUALLY think in this blog. So your damn well entitled to your prejudices and opinions because people do think that way.<br />The generalizations I was using in this entry was to highlight the black community's opinion on metal AS A WHOLE and not my own.<br />Sorry for the late response.The Black Girl into Heavy Metalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748921344972869637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100081350617248138.post-38485853156347543002009-11-23T03:42:49.254-08:002009-11-23T03:42:49.254-08:00"lynched and gang raped on the spot"

No I haven't actually been to Wacken, I was just using it as an example, but the most rowdy/aggressive concert I've ever been to was Pantera in 2001 (RIP Dimebag) and that was the first heavy metal concert I'd ever been to, so when the supporting acts were through and Pantera actually started playing, it was a whole different crowd, constantly pushing in all directions, it made me claustrophobic, and I actually fell down a couple of times, but even in the midst of that chaos, there was always someone courteous enough to help me back up (at the time though I thought I would get trampled!) so I though "I can't handle this" and sat up in the stands like a wuss, but the point is, there's always people helping you get back up, so it's a healthy constructive kind of aggression, if there is such a thing...<BR/>I've seen Opeth 3 times, they're fantastic, the last one was particularly good (even though I had the flu, which sucked pretty bad) because they had an excellent venue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100081350617248138.post-50162889659340421432009-04-11T16:47:00.000-07:002009-04-11T16:47:00.000-07:00@Luke-I'm so jealous that you've been to Wacken.

I was generalizing of course with a sarcastic lean. <BR/>I didn't mean to crap in yours or anyone's mouth but seriously males of any race are more likely to act violent in a group-thus mob mentality.The Black Girl into Heavy Metalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748921344972869637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100081350617248138.post-81310083828036746782009-04-09T22:04:00.000-07:002009-04-09T22:04:00.000-07:00luke said..."lynched and gang raped on the spot""m...luke said...<BR/>"lynched and gang raped on the spot"<BR/>"men in large groups with aggressive music are dangerous"<BR/><BR/>I feel like you just took a big crap in my mouth... white male metalheads listening to aggressive music are not dangerous, are not rapists, and do not lynch people.<BR/>It's nice to know you think so highly of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8100081350617248138.post-13076775639119760822009-03-25T16:46:00.000-07:002009-03-25T16:46:00.000-07:00Screw those prejudices!

Just stay away from NSBM bands and you should be fine. Seriously, the worst that you can realistically expect is a bunch of (white) Metal fans, who are POSITIVELY surprised about a black girl who is into Heavy Metal. ;)<BR/><BR/>Depending upon the particular sub genre you may encounter Mosh Pits, of course, but that is it.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>PS: This is coming from a white, male, old school Metalhead who knows quite a lot of women who are also into Metal.
