| Buckets! User Info... | The dayglo Abortions are known world wide, and have toured with some of the biggest metal and punk bands. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 4:07pm | ||

| Anonymous | Dayglos. I saw feed us a feutus in a Jukebox in a Hot Rod cafe in LA. People won't know who Nelly Furtado or Hot Hot Heat is in a couple years. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 5:12pm | ||

| matt t User Info... | nelly furtado is probably the most famous, although yeah she probably wont be remembered. other than that dayglo i guess would be my opinion. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 6:19pm | ||
| ML7Mike | I dunno how ML7 makes that list, we've barely even toured.. I mean, sure some people overseas know of us, but compared to say the Dayglos who have toured extensively, and will tour more.. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 6:44pm | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | Exactly. Meatlocker Seven are unknown losers. And I emphasize the LOSER part.... - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 7:04pm | ||
| Lurker User Info... | Nomeansno is known. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 8:01pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | Yeah Nomeansno play to large crowds over in Europe. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 8:03pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Wreaker saying we're losers sure drives home the fact that he can't get back into the band when he tries every few weeks. And Mike is just being modest...WE ARE THE GODS OF VICTORIA!!! YEEEEEHAW! Bring on the mountains of cocaine and riders!!!!! Pffft. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 8:19pm | ||
| Anonymous | meatlock sucks - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 9:22pm | ||
| Anonymous | nomeansno is a household name in europe. i guess the most popular would have to be nelly furtado. furdato whatever... you know who i mean. - Thu, 30 Jan 2003 9:28pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Never heard of meatlock, but that sounds a little too much like our name. Lawsuit. - Fri, 31 Jan 2003 12:27am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | Thats too funny. He must have been in a hurry. Didnt post his name or finish writing out the slag. Fucking useless if you ask me... - Fri, 31 Jan 2003 1:24am | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | In order it's probably Smelly Furtaco, Hot hot heat and Nomeansno. Smelly will be gone soon, HHH is still in the wait and see stage and NMN have been THE shit outa town for about 20 years. Bringing up the rear are the Dayglos and, believe it or not, Carolyn Mark who's well known esp in the states. - Fri, 31 Jan 2003 2:59pm | ||
| Mark's Bilge User Info... | Zippgunn, I'm surprised at you... If you're talking about people who lived here and left then David Foster is probably the most famous musical son, but if you're talking about people who live here now then the Karr-Lewis Duo would probably stand a good chance as the most famous band in town. After all, Time Magazine did call Gary Karr the greatest bass player of this century and I think that they have toured more countries and sold more records then any of the other suggestions? But then again, that would be classical music... is that allowed? - Sun, 2 Feb 2003 5:08pm | ||
| Anonymous | What about Randy Bachman? - Sun, 2 Feb 2003 5:27pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | Doesn't Burton Cummings live here also? I know he spends a lot of time at the Casino here. I guess he's got nothing better to spend those "American Woman" royalty cheques on. - Sun, 2 Feb 2003 6:13pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Ooops yes forgot about the Karr Lewis duo although I thought they were retired aqnd driving around in Alfas and Rolls Royses. Anyway aren't they Americans, they don't count do they? - Wed, 5 Feb 2003 3:52am | ||

| L.Kerr | Allfather are doing well I think. I hear their name alot over here in Holland! - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 12:36am | ||
| Dave Noisy User Info... | Umm..me.. "The Noisies". I have over 43,000 plays on MP3.com..HHH have only 37,000..nya nya. =) Me: http://www.mp3.com/noisy Them: http://www.mp3.com/hothotheat I think they are gaining faster tho..d'oh. - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 1:24am | ||
| beserker User Info... | Fuck any body in this room as old as i and remember a metal band from here called ARMORESS they fucking rocked and they used to play the rats nest once in awhile. Nobody at that time around here were that heavy at that time except maybe gary brainless's old band the RESISTANCE they were deserving of true recognition in this town. cheers - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 2:07am | ||
| Kevin Wright | You're comparing Armorus and The Resistance? Are you on glue? - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 4:04am | ||
| S.V. | No kidding...that is a weird comparrison. Besides the Resistance really rocked when Johnny was frontman. His crooning had the girls all a flutter ;) - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 9:07am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | MOC fuckin shredded back then too. Gave the punks and skates something metal they could listen to without having to admit they liked metal....heheh. Oh and Gallows End are fucking HUGE in Wisconsin....fucking HUGE! - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 9:24am | ||
| Anonymous | nobody listens to mp3.com anymore. thats so 2001 - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 10:37am | ||
| chachee | Armoros became Jed from SYL, Rick from Black Diamond, Mike from Mean Free Path ( and SYL for awhile ) and their drummer ( who the Zimmers Hole song TERRY is written about ) turned gay. - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 10:44am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | So can he still play drums????? shit ML7 Mike is gay and he still shreds on guitar! - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 2:39pm | ||
| king meat | yeah gallows end is as huge as my penis! (oh....wait...) - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 2:57pm | ||
| Robnoxious User Info... | David Foster & Diana Krall - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 5:58pm | ||
| The dude | what about brian adams? cuts like a knife... eh? come on i know you all would like to hear a little "everything i do"...hahahahahhahah. - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 6:11pm | ||
| S.V. | Boy you kids need to brush up on your pop star trivia ;) Ms. Krall is from Nanaimo and Mr. Adams hails from West Van. I'm just a fountain of useless knowledge ;) - Thu, 6 Feb 2003 6:14pm | ||
| The dude | my bad... but yeah man, fountain's of useless knowledge usually save the day... like you did. - Fri, 7 Feb 2003 1:03pm | ||
| Zippgunn User Info... | Bryan Adams got his start here in good old Vic with the hideous Sweeny Todd (He was known as Bryan Guy Adams back then) - Sun, 9 Feb 2003 10:48pm | ||
| S.V. | Aw...Zipp you mean to tell me I'm wrong??? I guess being the ancient one you are, gives you the advantage here ;) Well he may have got his musical start in Vic...but I'm fairly certain he grew up in Van. But what the hell do I care? We are talking about Bryan Adams after all...someone I'd really rather forget all together. :) - Mon, 10 Feb 2003 2:58pm | ||
| Mark's Bilge User Info... | Hideous Sweeny Todd!!!! you're fucked!!! Hey zippgunn, Sweeny Todd is the best damn band to EVER come out of Victoria!! beats swell prod by a mile!!! Fuck I've never laughed so loud in my life! - Mon, 10 Feb 2003 4:55pm | ||
| whatever | Why are people still talking about Armorous, yes they WERE fucking amazing for thier day and Terry Groom Kicks ass on the drums...but come on. Let's move past these relics of has been veteran musical landscapes. That's the fucking problem with Victoria, all you fucking morons are stuck in the 80's to early 90's and that's fucking it! The closest you get to anything new is all the old shit revamped and polished to sound more modern with the same cheesy metal undertones. Fubar is not laughing with you it's laughing at you!!! There is other music out there and if you opened your eyes and ears you might just notice it, and shit even like it! The mind set for most people out here is this: "I don't know your band but i've heard of your band for many years therefore i should pretend to support your band so that i'm not the only one who's completely ignorant of this apparently cool club i know nothing truly about...." Fuck! What a catch 22. This town is too clicky. This false sense of support is even more obvious then ever on this site, everyone is putting down everyone. If we want this town to flourish so that there won't be another resurgence of this bottom of the barrell, 2nd rate, Cure rip off, british moptop invasion Cream of Wheat...err Not hot heat rather, then we need to get out and support the local bands at the live venue-not support the bands that have come and are GONE and for the record Meatlocker 7 are fucking awesome. - Mon, 10 Feb 2003 9:32pm | ||
