Any Punks or Metals heads out there in Riyadh?

MadMaz

I'm not sure if you're asking about people who play Rock/Metal or those who simply enjoy listening to it. Anyway, I wouldn't call myself a Metal head, but I certainly enjoy listening to Metallica, Godsmack, Lacuna Coil, Savatage, Nirvana, Scorpions and many others. I'm also into instrumental music. I like the works of musicians like John Petrucci & Andy Mckee. Actually I'm into most music genres except hip-hop & country, which I enjoy the least.

What about you Schulz?

Schultz - So you ARE still with us!  Hope all is going well with you and the gang!  We miss your smiling faces!!!  :D

PS.  The only Metal Head that I know is YOU!  :lol::lol::lol:

Hello Schulz, I am moving to Riyadh soon and I am an old punk. I've seen many bands such as The Fall, Jesus and Mary Chain, Sousxie and the Banshees, and DRI. That's just off the top of my head. I'd love to hear about Riyadh and what there is to do there. I'm not even sure if I can bring any clothes other than black. If you have any tips I'd love to hear them.

What's wrong with the penguin look?  It leaves sooo much to the imagination.  Especially with the ninja masks.

moreso, headbanging on abaya!
isn't it cool and funky?! lolz

schulz

cool thanks for the responses guys. Ive been pretty into punk, mostly 77 and 82 stuff. I have been into it for the past 10 years. I just cant seem to outgrow it. Sometimes I listen to metal but mainly only stuff like Motor Head and Iron Maiden.

@sarahrebekah I have been to DRI twice, but both times it was sold out and I just drank out on the sidewalk and tried to listen as best I could. I listen to a lot of the exploited, GBH, ect ect Some of the other older bands I like are peter and the test tube baby's, cock sparrer, vice squad, ect ect I listen to a lot of Oi also like the 4 skins, the oppressed, the last resort.
