I'm talking about a kid sitting at home in Chile or Venezuela dreaming about seeing Crytopsy or King Diamond or Soilwork, or shit, Hatebreed or Slayer even. If they get to see one of these bands once in their lifetime, they're pretty lucky. THESE bands don't go there that often, just like their bands don't come here as much.

I am jealous of people in those places for getting to see SARCOFAGO, BESTIAL WARLUST, SABBAT, VULCANO, etc. Yeah, the numbers maybe aren't the same. But maybe to people in South America, KING DIAMOND and SLAYER are legends, but seeing their country's bands may be just as great an experience. I don't claim to know what bands are popular down there among Metalheads in general, I am sure they hold many of their local heros in the same esteem that you hold North American or European bands.

I do agree that you have a point and understand where you are coming from, but I don't see how you can't see mine...

I do see the point about appreciating it, but like I said before, that doesn't mean we can't reach for more. I would love to get more killer shows going on around here AND go out on tour with bands on my label anywhere that welcomes us basically.

And don't even think about calling me racist.

Noone's above such a criticism, no matter what efforts you take to be PC. Your specific comparison to Rhode Island was totally uninformed and ignorant, regarding South American culture - you gotta admit that reflects a Primitive Jungle Continent perception. I'm not totally above that myself, but obviously when it comes to Metal, I've discovered the error in such thinking.
