metal chat

The third metal chat on Twitter focused on European versus US metal, and any themes, notions, or ideas related to this topic.

During the first week of the metal chat, a comment arose that downloads are negatively affecting sales of metal worldwide. During the discussion, the issue arose of wondering whether the industry can still have a place in a digital age.

Is a continual focus on online promotion via social networking sites like MySpace, and the demise of flyers and posters, a big factor in the reduction of punters at local metal shows? This was the subject of the first 'metal chat' on Twitter on 24 June.
