I was thinking about Arsames or Mordab!

It would be nice, but I didn't have the chance to see them live yet, maybe later.

Joke list?

Joke list?

No, it isn't.

+1 for variety.

Let me tell you a short story which explains why this list is totally varied:

A man once was arrested for semi-political issues and he was condemned to ten years in prison. Before that, he told his wife if something like that happens to him and the prison status was horrible (i.e. torture, beatings and things like that), he would write her letters with blue pen, otherwise he would write them with black pen or any other color he could. After a week in prison, his wife received the first letter from her husband which was written with black pen: "Honey, everything is fine here. I'm doing OK. We have a great gym here and I'm working out a lot. The food is great and tasty, and everyone is friendly. The guards don't even touch us and they respect us all very well. Most of the time we're out of the cells and we're all having fun together, like you know, normal prison stuff; hanging out with friends, drinking beers, playing basketball, working out, etc. The only little thing that bothers me here is lack of a blue pen. Take care of yourself darling."


So, this list is varied.

I don't get it. Why would you create a list if you've only seen 1 band live? That raises the question: how can you only have seen just ONE band live? Many people have seen more bands live than I have, but I have easily seen 60 or more bands performing live (well, I've been to Graspop twice, so that helps).

Well probably because he lives in Iran and he probably doesn't want to take chances of being arrested in Iran for attending a gig. The most recent gig in Tehran ended in massive arrests by the police there so it's a set-back for everyone in Iran.

Wow, being arrested for attending a gig? Well, that's totally ridiculous.

To be fair, metal is the Devil's music, so...

Yeah, just like the devil being the god of atheists.

Long story, and what Troy says is actually true in Iran's case. that's also the reason why there are no legally established labels and record stores in Iran 'cause metal is, well, devil's music. Hardliner religious governmental figures, not gonna go deep into it.
