Memes. For metal music.

Don't be an ass and try to keep the gatekeeping and whatnot to a minimum. Memes from all sorts of metal genres and bands are welcome here.

Smaller metal bands don't often have the means to tour off the beaten path. Just the logistics of organising tours in e.g. South America or Africa are likely prohibitively expensive.

Some bigger rock and metal bands have actually been pretty good in touring places that aren't just the standard tour countries.

Smaller bands? Fucking Mastodon are losing money when they go on an international tour nowadays... Times are fucking hard for anyone who isn't a superstar, support the bands you like in any way you can!

Rage Against The Machine went to play for guerillas in the jungle once, does that count?
