Not the same site anymore


Nelson

Recommended Posts

Was very surprised to see the name Bonnie Tyler (see topic under this) here and really got me thinking that this is not the same Heavy Harmonies anymore.

 

This is not to say that I oppose the inclusion of artists like Ms. Tyler. I don't have that much knowledge of what are the boundaries of melodic rock or where or when you start labeling an artist as AOR. Seeing names like Chicago, Bonnie Tyler and Kenny Rogers Jr. just give me the feeling that this is not the same site that I was very excited to go to. Of course, with the discovery of long-forgotten recordings, names and titles will keep adding up but can you imagine seeing those names in this site six years ago?

 

Just a thought.

I reckon we should weild the axe ona heap of the acts getting included on HH.

Or drop "heavy" from the title and just call it "harmonies".

 

Sure, not everything on the main site is "heavy", but those that aren't heavy atelast have their roots in from the rock era of the 80's.

For example, ... Bon Jovi once a hard rock band, now just a radio rock band would still qualify based on their past, but a band never having had any ties with the hard/melodic/glam rock scene should not appear.

 

Just my 2c.

 

 

BTW, did you read what the Bonnie Tyler thread was about?

This exactly.

My $0.02 (which is worth so much less than even Canada these days... ):

 

Ever since I've been a member (and I am member #19 for the record) there have been conversations about what's right/wrong for inclusion. Some I agree with, some not, but because the vast majority has always been, and continues to be what I think is a good fit I'm not going anywhere. In my opinion not all that much has changed here other than the people frequenting the boards, and they continue to be good people (except Wes) so I continue to stick around.

 

To me this site continues to be the best, most user friendly and although not complete free of internal politics, it's for damn sure closer than any of the "other" sites.

 

In short I like it here. :)

My feeling is there are two kinds of music...good and bad... although I'm a DIE HARD

Metalhead,I also love Blues, 60's Rock, some 80's New wave, 70's Punk Rock etc.

As long as we don't include RAP...I'm fine..and for the record I do like Some Rap...

I must admit that there are a few bands/musicians included on HH that make me shake my head but there's no way you're gonna have unanimous agreement on a topic like this so as long as the Bonnie Tylers of the world don't take over the site...it's no big deal....

Don't try and fool us aM1966. When I came into your office the other day I heard Tupac blasting from your CD player. And then the next day you were listening to 50 cent. I know you tried to switch it to Shadows Fall in the attempt that your "keeping it metal." But I'm onto you you closet rap fan!

Is HH the same as it was 6 yrs. ago? No.

 

Are there bands/artists listed here that don't belong? Yes.

 

Is it possible to have unanimous agreement on this subject? No.

 

Is this still the greatest melodic rock site on the web? Yes.

 

Do I wish Pete wasn't here? Uh, no comment.

I've been viewing the main site for about 3-4 years and have been a member of the forum for over 2 years now. I've seen changes in that 2 years but I still love this place. I don't like evrything that gets put on this board but there is some stuff that I never heard of and see it for sale. Often times it is described as great 80's AOR, MHR, glam, etc or even comparing them a band from our genre. Seeing some of the comments about what these artist really sound like on this site has help me eliminate from picking up some shit that people try pawning off using our genre. So as far as I concerned, it may be questionable weather or not it should be on here but it has helped me from wasting my hard earned cash.

Yeah, same for me. It's hard to put into words just how much I value his presence here. :wub:

The question "if Dan is #2, who was #1?" has been bugging the hell outta me ever since I first noticed it, but I never found the right opportunity to ask ... :banana:

Ok, i'm going to add my .02 cents. What makes me say to myself....WTF, how can bands like Sacred warrior, Angelica, Holy Soldier, Stryper, Bloodgood and bands alike be in both HH and in Heaven's Metal? But bands like Judas Priest, Obsession, Malice, Artch, Feinstein and bands just a similar not be in HH. I think....and this is my opinion....an alignment is in order! Or just combine the other two to make one large database. Which leads to this question, how many here in HH are actually going to the other two sites and how often or maybe Dan can answer this..... how many hits per day do the other sites receive? It's a hell alot easier to do a search when ALL of the bands are listed in one database. Wow...i feel better. :lol:

Good idea. Dan could call it "Heavenly Brutal Harmonious Metal-n-Stuff" or something like that. :lol:

HH/BM/HM used to be one large database/site, but then more and more bands started appearing on the fringe of what HH was about and that was when I split the sites.

 

If people are complaining about Bonnie Tyler being on HH, methinks they might complain just a wee bit about Emperor or Marduk being included...

    • I've got a solid top 3 at this point.  At least for me, these 3 are heads and shoulders above everything else: 1.  Kissin' Dynamite 2.  Eclipse 3.  Maverick After that, it's really a hodgepodge of stuff.  New Roses, Daughtry (Only an EP but digging it), Collateral, Sebastian Bach, Judas Priest, Nestor, End Machine.  I'd probably put them in about that order at the moment.  
    • So I was just looking at the new releases I bought from this year, and while there are some new additions to expand from the top 5 I posted earlier this year, to a top 10, all the stuff in my original list are still in the top 10 (although obvs with three months to go, the ones near the bottom could be usurped). Anyway as of now, this is where I am at: 1.       Judas Priest 2.       The Warning 3.       Nek! 4.       Rolling Quartz 5.       Band Maid 6.       April Art 7.       Lipz 8.       Sebastian Bach 9.       Mick Mars 10.   Durbin
    • I to used see them a few times at the Middle as well. With local chapter of the Hells Angels at front bar. Not much a Screaming Jets fan, so I didn't watch them with Gleeson' The guy in front now, was their recent drummer before they put out in front Those first five albums are classics
    • My brother was playing some of this guy's stuff a few months ago. I only now got around to checking it out for myself. Pretty fuckin' good!
    • Seems these guys are no more   https://sleazeroxx.com/r-i-p-cobrakill-lead-guitarist-randy-white-announces-band-no-longer-exists/
    • I grew up listening to Cuntry, and have kinda wanted to get back into it. But not the typical New Cuntry shit. So I'll give this a try. 
    • I always forget about this band, and then I listen to them and am like, "Oh, yeah, they're good!" And then forget about them for another year. 
    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice.
