Perhaps I misread a post, but I'm not part of the scene?
I often hang out with Cliff from Dry Kill and Matt Byrne from Hatebreed when they are off tour. I also know and have hung with plenty of thier management. I think that probably qualifies me as "part of the scene."
I know plenty of other "known" musicians, worked in the industry, have a wife who currently works in the industry, and have been backstage and free concerts for:
Ozzfest, LOG, Hatebreed, Gigantour, BLS, Damageplan, Shadowsfall, Slipknot, and others in the past year alone. The list goes on.
Anyway, I know the scene, my ears are open, I just don't care for the bands you like. I don't think it makes us enemies, opposites, whatever, just a difference of opinion.
Whoever mentione LOG - I have "Laid to rest" as my ringtone.
