Volbeat's Michael Poulsen Says Today's Scene Has No Soul
.
(Classic Rock) Volbeat's Michael Poulsen admits he gets nostalgic thinking about the "old school" days of the underground metal scene, when he was in Dominus. The vocalist recalls tape-trading, riding on his bike and pasting DIY flyers around the Danish city of Ringsted to promote his band in the 90s - and he says that the fast-paced information age has no "soul." He tells KaaosTV: "I come from the old-school underground when there was no internet, tape-trading with my old band Dominus and a lot of old-school bands who are still here today. It's something I'm very proud of. "We'd ride bikes, putting up black-and-white posters with glue. I kinda miss those days as a way to promote yourself. There was just a different soul about it." Poulsen adds: "Everything's going so fast on the internet these days. It's good for some reasons, but for other reasons it's not tempting. It doesn't have a soul. These days, youngsters have a favorite band every second week. Everything is in front of them, they get everything very fast. There's not many bands that have that mystique anymore." Read more here.
