I actually met some Fusiliers from the Scottish Highlands in Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War. Awesome experience. We traded uniform items as souvenirs. They wanted to trade their MP-5 rifles for our M-16s but they didn't understand that we couldn't because they were govt issued. They buy their own weapons I guess. They had their bagpipes and played for us too!

Definitely a cultural enrichment.

Been around the world 3 times. Definitely a factor influencing my eclectic taste in music.

Now, on the subject of Japanese black-metal techno pop-rock........................

[Khines5705]

Do you really? Cause I do! I love all kinds of stuff out of Japan. Spent 16 months total in Japan on 2 separate occasions.

Look, it's my opinion that Japan has some awesome metal guitarists.  This is a very off the wall band....BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ！！- Gimme chocolate!! - Live Music Video - YouTube

This is definitely not my usual cup of tea, but it is VERY popular over there.  It has about 53 different types of music in one song.

[Khines5705]

Heck yea! That's exactly the song I thought of when you mentioned it!

[Snn5]

Their videos are disturbing to today's youth.  Nonetheless, there is always the staple Norwegian rock....Viking Metal!

[Khines5705]

Hahaha, Techno Viking rules!
