2008-08-09T05:09:00.000-07:00

Hello N.W.O.B.H.M. Fans and supporters.

The last two weeks a great idea take flesh and bones..The issue report is brilliant.I taken up a new official nwobhm site for all the fans.Basicly is about all the NWOBHM fans in Greece.The site's versions are two.I mean will taken up pages in two languages.Greek and English section just to select what you want.NWOBHM events,shows,band news and many,many more.Another great idea is due to the official site to create an OFFICIAL GREEK NWOBHM FAN CLUB(WITHOUT MONEY).The main point is to find active members that love NWOBHM,that wants to go a trip around England just to see our favourite bands.Another idea is to do meetings and some nwobhm events around Greece in famous Heavy-Metal Clubs around Athens and Greece.And ofcourse to go in some famous Athens Pubs to join beer and talk about our favourite NWOBHM band and music.

the link of the new site is WWW.NWOBHM.GR (site still under construction)

Cheers boys and girls

History

2008-01-03T09:52:00.000-08:00

Καλησπερα παιδια

Λοιπον ηρθε η ωρα να πουμε την ιστορια του ειδους.
Ολα ξεκινανε το 1974 χοντρικα.Πιο συγκροτημα
ξεκινησε λιγο αγνωστο.Βαση αποψεων και μουσικων
δημιουργιων οι πρωτοι που παιξαν N.W.O.B.H.M.
ηταν οι Raven(1974)Iron Maiden(1977)Saxon(1974)
Angel-Witch(1977).Βασικα οι εκφραση NWOBHM
δεν υφιστατε η λεξη ηταν δημιουργια ενως δημοσιογραφου
που μετα την ληξη μιας συναυλιας(Iron-Maiden,Angel-Witch)
εγραψε ενθουσιασμενως οτι----->ΕΝΑ ΝΕΟ ΚΥΜΑ ΤΗΣ ΒΡΕΤΑ-
ΝΙΚΗΣ HEAVY METAL ΓΕΝΝΙΕΤΑΙ.Δηλαδη--->a New Wave Of
British Heavy Metal growing up in our days.........................
Απο τοτε η εκφραση καταχωρηθηκε και υπαρχει μεχρι σημερα.
Αλλο ενα ιστορικο γεγονος ειναι επισης οτι στις αρχες η εκφραση
δεν λεγοταν ετσι ακριβως αλλα ετσι--->The (NE)N.W.O.B.H.M.
ΤΟ ΔΥΤΙΚΟ ΝΕΟ ΕΙΔΟΣ ΤΗΣ ΒΡΕΤΑΝΙΚΗΣ HEAVY NETAL.
Ο λογος απλος τα πρωτα και τα μετα συγκροτηματα αυτου του ειδους
ηταν απο το NEWCASTLE.Αναφορικα Raven,Satan,Witchfynde κτλ.
Το ειδος εξαπλονωταν ραγδεα.Οι συναυλιες συνεχωμενες οι οπαδοι
περισσοτεροι και πορωμενοι.Συναυλια με συναυλια ο κοσμος μεγαλωνε
η αναγκη για περισσοτερο Βρετανικο Metal αυξανοταν οσπου οι εταιριες
δισκων ξεκιναγαν την δικια τους ανιχνευση(παντα με σκοπο τα χρηματα)οι
ραδιο/τηλεοπτικοι σταθμοι βαζαν καθε βδομαδα συγκροτηματα και παιζανε Live
συνοπτικα Top Of The Pops,PoPRoCk και πολλοι αλλο σταθμοι της τοτε εποχης.
Το N.W.O.B.H.M. κερδιζε εδαφος συνεχεια.Οι εταιριες ομως συνεχιζαν να επιλεγουν
με πολυ αυστηρα κρητηρια.Οι εποχες φτωχες,για να βγαλεις ενα 7inc ή 12inc χρειαζοταν
αρκετα λεφτα.Αυτως ειωαι ο κυριως λογος που τα περισσοτερα συγκροτηματα βγαλανε
ενα 7inc ή 12inc και μετα διαλυοταν.Μερικα αντεξαν αλλα(τα περισσοτερα)φαλυρισαν.
Οι κουλτουρα απολυτη και κλασσικη μπλε τζιν σωληνας,ασπρο αθλητικο παπουτσι για
αντιφεση,Perfecto με τζιν αμανικο απο πανω γεματο ραφτα ή μονο τζιν με ραφτα ή μονο
Perfecto και το κλασσικο χυμα μακρυ και αστουμπαλο μπουκλομαλλο εως το στηθος.

Μερικα συγκροτηματα Ν.W.O.B.H.M.

Iron Maiden
Saxon
Raven
Angel-Witch
Satan
Avenger
Witchfynde
Witchfinder-General
GirlSchool
Girl
Lyadrive
Blitzkrieg
