FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions |
We at the Metal Epicenter get asked a lot of questions. With the legions
of fans who come to our humble abode located deep in the bowels of Satan's
laboratory, it's to be expected! Here now are some of our favorite questions
and answers.
1. What is this site for?
For your entertainment! That's like asking what TV is there for... It's for
the expansion of your mind! Yeah, right! It's for porn and useless facts...
We're the latter!
2. What the hell is an
Epicenter?
The point on the Earth's surface vertically above the point (focus or hypocenter)
in the crust where a seismic rupture nucleates... Crack a book every once
in a while, you damn kids!
3. What is your definition of
"Metal?"
True metal has something to say to society. And that something is, "FUCK
YOU!" Our little phrase on the site is "music with bite." I think that sums
it up quite well. In other words, if the guitars are loud, the singers can
hold a melody while being great screamers, and the lyrics are not of the
"slit my wrist" class... Well, it has a home here at the Metal Epicenter!
4. Do you really think hair metal can make
a comeback?
In some ways yes - In other ways no. A lot of people attribute hair metal
as the only thing that was bombastic in the '80's. The sign of the times
was big hair and colorful outfits in all forms of entertainment. Hell, watch
Miami Vice! Even the cops of the '80's sported mullets and colorful clothing!
Will the LOOK ever come back? Probably not. But, the music stands the test
of time. If the sound as it was doesn't come back, some of the elements certainly
can be taken from it... Better in your face kick ass music with good musicianship
than rap, right?
5. Are you living in the
'80's?
No, we're quite aware of what year it is, thank you for asking! But, if in
50 years it's decided it's okay to eat other people as long as they died
of natural causes, we will opt not to partake in that. That's the same as
us wanting no part of listening to really shitty music created on a computer
with some convict telling us to go kill a cop or kick pregnant women in the
stomach. By no means are we taking a moral high ground. We're simply saying
we're not easily fooled by loose fitting pants and deviant behavior... The
hairspray and spandex of the current generation.
6. Where do you get your
news?
That's none of your damn business and we'll thank you to stay out of our
personal affairs.
7. What do you think of sites with similiar
subject matter to yours such as Metal-Sludge and
Blabbermouth?
We're created in the same vain as those 2 fine sites. But, I think we have
a little less of a condescending attitude about us and we only report news
on bands, both established and up and coming, that stay true to music and
don't sound like the Cookie Monster.
8. What is your goal for this
site?
Our goal is to simply spread the word of heavy metal. If we can just take
one kid and get him out of the pants hanging off of his ass and get him in
some tight jeans and get him to grow out his Vanilla Ice flat top and have
him sporting a mullet, pronounced mull-ay in France, we've done our job!
