A scene is not a bunch of bands, but bands and all of their supporters. Focusing solely on music will bore some and chase others off. Music should be the center of the board, but other conversation must exist as well.

I've seen every band on here get positive comments, and yes some have received some negative, but if you can't take it go play in your garage. Lose the ego and have some fun. Every musician wants to be liked, but some get their shit all tangled when someone makes a comment that is less than positive.

Headbanger101 Check out my band!! Greatest ever!! Rock!!

Guitardude I don't dig your guitar tone, dude!

Headbanger101 Fuck you dude! I fuckin' played with a guy related to Ratt's guitar tech! I know my shit! Fuck all of you guys!!!

A dramatization, I know, but grow up! If someone dislikes your shit, do not invite them to shows. Of course, if they pay to get in, who cares, right?
