That was one thing that immediately called my attention about America: I was expecting a country that didn't care much about religion, but I found that it is quite the contrary. People liking Bush because he is a Christian (redneck applies) is something that goes beyond me. Anyway, Rata Blanca are huge in Argentina. At some point (like in 1992-1993) they were playing in Stadiums for 40,000 people. Now they aren't as popular, but they still have a huge fan base. I think classic heavy and power metal are the most popular metal styles there (still!).

I too sensed that it was not as catholic of a country. i think the rest of south america is highly catholic, while at the same time not being as religous as americans are. it's as though catholicism is integrated into south american's creed...without being religious. anyway, the buenos aires was great. Had a fantastic time, and even went to a Boca / River game in the famed Bombonera. Seemed to me that Rata Blanca were pretty huge, and I picked up a CD. I spent a good bit of time in flea markets around the city hunting down old Soda Stereo vinyl...but that's a story for another post. sorry that the post was short...i was short on time...and i never think people will actually read my ramblings.Klaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587934998738921091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273126442475794090.post-78561740934274087682009-02-27T12:16:00.000-05:002009-02-27T12:16:00.000-05:00Baron Rojo!

La otra "gran" banda que vino a la ciudad fue Barón Rojo de España.

Even though at that time I had already discovered the joys of thrash and deathmetal and looked down on GNR-fans, my parents gave me a ticket for my 16th birthday. Lots of guys I knew that didn´t like GNR neither went as well, and while our girlfriends got wet over Axl Rose, we stood around discussing how shitty GNR were. It was the biggest rock show I have ever been to, and it didn´t matter wether you liked the bands or not, it was just THE place to be at the time. As Would be Visionary said correctly, at least back then the commercial bands could still be seen as rock n´roll, while the shitty bands of nowadays just play pop music with some heavy guitars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273126442475794090.post-50530780193418676272009-02-27T11:11:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:11:00.000-05:00Way too short.I was hoping it would culminate into...Way too short.<BR/>I was hoping it would culminate into some crazy shit about QR <BR/>playing "metal health" and causing some kinda audience tragedy ala Altimont.Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02899244031192147188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3273126442475794090.post-78161939268641699372009-02-27T10:54:00.000-05:002009-02-27T10:54:00.000-05:00oh yeah one more thing I forgot to mention...

There are no rock standards anymore, instead of QR or Van Halen or Motley Crue on the radio we have katey perry, avril lavigne, fallout boy, godsmack, disturbed, av7x.. the embarrasing list goes on and fucking on... <BR/><BR/>I remember QR all washed up and heading towards Colombia, with their terrible, I think, III album.

I had to ask what that was to an American friend that got one. So I'd say you are not from Argentina. Also, Argentina was in a hyperinflation in 1989, so I'm pretty sure it was not a good business even for Quiet Riot to come and play there. I remember they played in Buenos Aires in 1984 and people went crazy and there were some problems, but I know that from the newspaper, since I was 7-8 years old at the time and music wasn't a priority (but playmobils were). Anyway, people in Buenos Aires are not religious (in general), so you must be from another country. Sorry Lucho about this, it's just that I always wonder where you and your brother are from.
