he came to my neck of the woods, but that was before I really knew who he was. now that I know his music I really regret not seeing him.
it's always been in the mainstream, a.k.a. pop or should I say Britney spears ..and of course it's mainstream, doesn't surprise me at all....what would surprise me if heavy metal became mainstream...surprising, and awesome!It's really cool to see the electronic genre in the mainstream right now.
ever hear of a little band called Metallica? they count as heavy metal. now if death metal could go mainstream we'd be in business.
Aside from pop music, most tracks topping the charts a few years ago would have been some kind of rock music or hip hop/rap. What I meant was it's nice to see electronic dance music and dubstep being played in commercials, on the radio etc. A lot of popular artists are switching over to the genre that once produced rap/hip hop, which is pretty cool imo. I mean just check out much music/mtv or something similar, most if not all the tracks they'll play nowadays have some kind of electro beat to it.
nope, never heard of em >_> and just cause you can point out the biggest heavy metal band doesn't mean they're mainstream...i've heard them in movie trailers and in the background of football stuff...they're not by any means plastered everywhere...but i still see what you mean with the death metal thing
(just cause I really don't care about arguing about it, it's pointless, b/c if your "view" makes it a "fact" then whats the point, we'll go in circles for years if you want to....i suggest you look up the definition of mainstream, b/c as i said, metallica has SOME ties to corporate entities such as background music to 10 sec. football clips on tvs and trailers, which you also hinted at, but it is not the definition of our pop culture......... ...
