DawnPatroller Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) I may start a new thread called "Is Birmingham the home of metal?" Poll options will be: Most Definitely! Yes but more home of rock than metal. Almost but could be any music really. Define metal, please.

FinnDave Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 The closest I've ever been to Birmingham is passing through it on a train or the motorway. Never had a reason to stop there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the city's industrial past/heritage, the answer has to be most definitely. Metal bashing made Birmingham the greatest industrial area in the world.

Metal bashing made Birmingham the greatest industrial area in the world. Sorry to be a nerd. Nerd away to your heart's content. Thank you for your wholly correct answer to my somewhat rhetorical question. The answer, of course, is that Birmingham is definitely the home of metal and the reason for that is because it's the city I was born and raised in, and I'm so metal I am on the periodic table 😉 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my school friends had a really thick brummie accent. French lessons were great. He had the language and grammar down perfectly, and spoke pretty well. But every so often his natural accent would break though. Bonn jewa! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killed_by_Death Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 less than two weeks ago was the anniversary of Ozzy getting a star on Magic City's Walk of Stars: all the members of Sabbath have one, except for Ward, but at least he's on the bridge: Ha, I just noticed Toyah has a star, too! and Noddy of Slade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
