REAL metal was played on Records - probably before your day and something your grandparents might have ..Originally Posted by TheDemonLord
I have a lot of those old big black vinyl thingies .. and sometimes I still play them ..
But Heavy Metal ??? or Extreme metal ??? How passé ...

Everybody knows that metal died with John Bonham in 1980.

Just chugging along...
I shed a tear this morning as I listened to Geoff for the last time - he's been Morning Report for all of my working life.
I wish him a happy and long retirement.

And the irreplaceable Geoff Robinson has been replaced by a mouthpiece for the National Party's Party Political Broadcast. Worst day in NZ media history. Mr Robinson was the last impartial, hard hitting interviewer left on anyone's roster.
National radio will disappear within a couple of years as their morning listeners utterly give up and start listening to podcasts.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Well, this is awkward...
Yeah no more comfy slippers for my ears in the morning. Agree he's the best interviewer they had, managed to be incisive without being rude or condescending (unlike Wilson, Plunkett and the rest).
I'd rather listen to something another human being has put some thought into rather than a soulless machine.

Except Led Zep were never metal.....
Don't make me get out my musical Theory hat.
As for Heavy Metal vs Extreme - I like the classics, like I love a big juicy Steak, but some people will agree that occasionally you need a bit of bite with your food.... I like a LOT of bite with my Metal!

So you're a big fan of Nickelback and Creed? ;-) (actually just getting on topic for a bit, because I don't know anything about commercial radio, I can confidently say while I have heard OF those bands (always in a negative context), I have never listened to them.)
My dad read something in the readers digest back in the day that said heavy metal was bad, and that Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were heavy metal and satanists and did I want to be a satanist because of listening obsessively to those bands when I was 12. I was clearly already a satanist by that point so the music didnt really matter.

Whaat? A tired old lefty is replaced by an aggressive young one...RNZ's budget should count towards Labour's election spending.
I would, however, agree that replacing someone who uses the word "programme" with someone who talks about the new "show" is a retrograde step.

I'm terribly sorry - but the media has always been largely about entertainment - even the news ... the news media generate the myth that they are giving the population important information .. in fact they are not - they are ensuring that people generally subscribe to, watch, listen to, get the messages of, the biggest money-making business in the world ...
The myth that we have Public Broadcasting simply helps to prop up the capitalist media myths ..
I haven't listened to National Radio since we moved to BoP .. and I don't miss it - yes, I did like Geoff Robinson for al the reasons said - but I haven't heard him for four year . and it has been no great loss.
Don't get sucked into the propaganda machine ..

Espiner is not young, nor is he a lefty. Mr Robinson was never a lefty either. I have heard him deconstruct ideology for Labour PMs on more than one occasion and demand an actual argument and factual basis for policy.
