Yeah, Gatot is one of my favourite reviewers - used his reviews as a guide when I was first getting into Marillion.

My brother frequents the sevenstring.org message boards.  I don't recall what his user name is, but he has (or used to have) an avatar of Spock from Star Trek.

PA member and I don't know why pple are saying they are treated badly here - i have actually made a couple of new friends over the last week.
 
It is sad if this genre breeds pple that are not respectable - to say Opeth is crap is plain rude. i dont say that any band is worse than another except in fun to a friend perhaps as we stir each other. nothng wtrong with that but when it gets personal its time to leave. as that doesnt do anybody any good.
 
I hope we can all be friends and enjoy this site as much as we do the PA.
 
GLAM METAL!

I was never a part of PA but my good friend Ian, an active member of PA, introduced me to this site and it's nice to be able to help this new site develop.

I find it quite funny that a thread for none PA members is being dominated by PA'ers, including myself.

the trick is.. to get them to come here... not to defend their site... but to come to this one and help make it better. As far as any miscreants coming here to start problems...  we'll deal with them as they come. Either a carrot.. or a .44 Navy colt at high noon LOL

on that note... let's just leave mentions of others sites not directly related to the tasks at hand alone.

I honestly completely dislike metal-archives. It's got a very extensive database, but the people in the forums are complete a****les.

I'm confident that if we give this site a year or two, and make sure that our members are respectful people, MMA will become MUCH better than metal-archives Approve

I rest my case.


I have often used EM (or Metal-Archives) for reference, especially when I have to review metal bands for Progressor - which happens more often than you would believe - and have to agree with Jeff. Obviously, I've never used the forum, or even looked at it, but have no trouble whatsoever in believing that it is visited by less than respectful people.

However, if I may, let's try to avoid bashing other sites as much as we can, even when they deserve it. The last thing we want is for someone from some other site to come here and start a flame war - and let's remember how p****d off we were every time someone bashed PA on another board.


Thumbs Up

I'll never forget that when I introduced myself to that site as an Opeth fan, people went on and on about how much they "suck" LOL That was when I knew it was time to leave.

and seconded....  give M@X his props... the man knows how to run a website.. ie...  he puts good people in charge of it to run it for him.  Not sure, since M@X is more metal than prog,  if he will taking a more hands-on approach to his site.. if he doesn't...  he'll have someone good to take care of his baby.. and first thing they'll do... is make sure the strengths of PA's become the strengths of this site.  This is the community side of it.


Exactly. The reason why I've been such an active member in PA is that it's populated with a generally respectable crowd, and the administrators do a fantastic job at monitoring for trolls.

It�ll take a long time to build a database that can match metal archives extensive artist database ( It�s not long ago that they reached an impressive 70.000 artists), but what should make MMA a much more interesting site to visit is the exposure of the reviews on the front page with album covers ( It�s always been the feature I loved most about PA) and the opportunity to become involved as a collaborator on the site. As someone mentioned we should take great care that the tone and manners of members are kept in a civilized way, just as it is on PA. That way MMA will be the same great place to visit as PA is.
 
Oh and don�t worry we�ll reach the 70.000 artist mark sometime in the future, it just requires that people are interested in helping out adding new artists and their albums. So to anyone not familiar with the PA concept, you shouldn�t worry if you find MMA a bit lacking right now. It�s a completely new site, but once the minor errors that always occur on new sites are dealt with, I�m sure MMA will be the place to visit for metal reviews on the web. And bios too ( Note that Metal-Archives don�t necessarily have bios for all bands in the database. Mostly for the bigger acts). Well I didn�t mean to come down on Metal-Archives. I just wanted to point out the differences and point out why MMA could be an interesting place to visit.
