 it's something I say very often 

anyway...... till now we've only talked about past, present or future, a lot of words and arguments...... well...... now let's pass to the music itself...... I've already said that, IMHO, something that can keep alive our music and give it a big push towards the future is the contaminations with elements by other generes, something new that can get out from the usual patterns...... for example, in the last years I've appreciated bands with some electronic element in their music, like (already mentioned) AMARANTHE or MACHINAE SUPREMACY...... or bands from middle east that include some of their traditional / ethnic music in their songs, like MYRATH from Tunisia......  maybe they'll never be "true legends" but, if the past has been written by few legendary bands, probably the future of our music will be made by thousands of little-big bands...... 

and what about you?? do you know, guys, some lttle new band that, in your opinion, deserves to write its name in the big book of music history ?? mh ?? 

In my opinion you're looking at it all from the wrong perspective, because first of all, if any of the bands that are gonna be the next legends are now in the making, there is no possible way you could see it now. Second, how many small bands do you think were trying to make it out in the past but now, no one remembers them? it's definitely thousands, and more so with the lack of social media and distribution at the time, most of them were unknown to the majority of the planet. Besides you can't possibly think every artist that's gonna tr, will surely make it out and become legendary. Then you have to take into consideration that most bands that made it out at some point were not taken seriously, had a hard time, criticized, even more so when making a major breakthrough stylistically. So yeah I don't think it will be easy to see and spot the legends of tomorrow now, but maybe when we are even older we'd be telling our grandchildren that we grew up listening to the next Metallica or Judas Priest eh?
