I realize this may not be the best forum to have registered for because I'm not familiar with the German language as much as I should be as of now. But, I've been really struggling to search for a forum where I could "network" with German metal musicians. I'm moving to Ansbach soon and the thing I've been looking most forward to is getting engaged in the metal scene up there. Whereas, it's died a lot in America. We've been taken over by "indie" "emo" "screamo" "alternative rock"-- however one chooses to put it. I'm ready to break free from that. Take in Europe. See some good metal shows. And am even interested in putting together a band if anyone is interested. I played with a group of guys back in high school in a band called Funeral Earth (not the best, most original name.. I know) but our main influence at the time had been Opeth. I am really hoping to get a response from anyone out there interested. I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm beyond excited about this forum nevertheless!
Hello and welcome! I'm sorry I cannot help you with that band thing, I hope you enjoy this forum anyway. The metal scene in Germany is great, you have all reasons to be excited. Actually the old school scene is growing stronger day by day, you'll have a great time. Are you into doom (I suppose so, because you registered here)?
I´m far away from Ansbach, too. But we got a pretty vital metalscene in germany anyway. I´m sure you will find some people that match to your purposes.
If your interested in any german thread and you don´t understand it - feel free to ask! We are the DOOM guys...heavy and slow...but still very nice.
Regular underground metal shows not far from Ansbach? =) Okay... I am looking forward to that. Thanks a lot for the help and info! I'm quite honestly not big in the doom metal scene. I have a love and respect for all metal but my two favorite bands being the GATHERING and Opeth kind of gives me away as not being a doom head, huh?

That's what you have to explain to a lot of Americans actually that metal heads aren't rough, angry, hateful people. If you've ever been to a metal show you know that it may get brutal in a mosh pit but there is always someone there to help you back up if you fall. Metal fans are some of the most dedicated and loving people I know. When you're wearing a band t-shirt it serves as like a flag for that music and someone out there notices it and gives you a "hell yeah!" I love it. I wish I knew more German. I took German for 2 years back in high school, and though my teacher was originally from Germany her accent and teaching methods were a little off. One day on our lesson plan we translated Rammstein lyrics. And we learned all the basics: greetings, colors, food, clothes. But I am going through the threads, eager to respond but no one is exactly discussing their favorite color of soda and what pants they like to wear. :p
Hallo, ich bin Thomas. Ich liebe Bier und Whisky. Meine Lieblingsfarbe ist dunkelblau. Ich trage gerne kurze Hosen.
No, honestly, feel free to ask. And you made a good decision by moving to Ansbach/Franken (that´s the name of the region), because most people here, e.g. me, are sometimes mad about the fact, that most of the cool bands always play in that region of southern germany. And maybe you will lern to love the doom/stoner stuff as much as some of us do. The Gathering and Opeth are both bands a lot of people like here too. You´re welcome
