Winner of April 2002 poll.

[Pierce Brosnan]

Pretty god damn close.  

I know some of you think that my poll is fixed or whatever.  True, I vote, but I'm just one person.
You can only vote once per day.  I mean, I would have liked Three Below, or Fireborn to win or a heavier band, but I have no controll over that.  Any voting I do isn't even going to put a dent in the poll.  Just look at the results.  Almost everyday, I voted for Three Below.
I think I was the only one who was voting for them.
Noware and Downcast were neck and neck.  That's where the action was this time.  They had a lot of people voting for them.  Both bands and their fans did a great job of supporting.

Congratulations Noware!  Evern though I like heavier shit, I still think you guys kick ass!  Different music;
If you always listend to the same exact style all the time, you'd get bored.   Besides, it's all metal, right?



The fans and whoever comes to the site to vote are the ones tht determine the winner.  If more people would tell me who they would like to see on the poll, I would put those bands on.  The polls are set up by me.  No one else is helping.  If you want a band on there, let me know.  I'll be setting up the next poll tonight.





Who's your favorite local band?

???I know it's not Buffalo, butt we r just a hop, skip, and a jump away so u could add some of them if it didn't piss too many people off.  For example Skudd or Good Intentions.  They may not be metal, butt wtf different music is good for the soul, or at least that's what some hippie told me once.

www.skudd.org
www.goodintentionsmusic.com

and also checkout www.pahardcore.com it's more than what the name says.

I appreciate all the support and positive feedback from the local heavy bands that gave it.  Making the local musicians happy is very satisfying to me.  I take alot of shit from ungreatful bands that don't want to be associated with my site because they're afraid of getting popular.  Those bands don't know what they're missing.  I've got news for you tough guy, hardcore, grindcore,  core core bands:  Not everyone is going to like your music.  Usually the people that are into that type of music will end of liking your band.  There's a lot of people out there that don't know about or understand that style of music.  They're not exposed to it.  Don't be afraid if someone you don't like enjoys listening to your music.  Besides, Core music will never be played on the edge, or any pop station.  

You kids worry too much.  localmetal.com is a good thing.

Anyways, thanks again to the bands and people that appreciate what I'm doing with localmetal.com

congrats noware, i'm happy that noware won, they may not be ultra-heavy , but they got people to vote for them , and they are metal, and every person who comes to the site to vote for them gets to see the other bands and what they are about, sure it would be nice to win, but the exposure is the big prize, and we all get that just being on the poll
