This fall I might be going to UK for school. Does anyone know how the music (metal particularly) scene is? I play bass and can do vocals, as well as some guitar, and I would like to get into a metal band. Hopefully if I go there, I will meet some metalheads.

Where you moving too?

Any big city will have its own big scene... Smaller places will probably have a handful of metal heads.. You won't be alone wherever you go regardless.

Scores of Emo kids outnumber Metalheads where i live.

I'll be moving to either Lexington, KY or Baton Rouge, LA depending on whether I go to LSU or UK. I figure I have decent odds considering 20,000-30,000 people go to each so there must be at least a few decent metal guitarists and drummers there I can hook up with.

where in the uk?

UK as in university of kentucky. I go there. I haven't seen any metalheads to really speak of. There seem to be a lot of punk and emo bands. Good luck finding anything.

Do you play anything? And how long have you been going there? I'm sure I would just have to look.

i played guitar for about 9 or 10 years before college. my classes and life in general took quick care of that. i've been going to UK for about 2 years now. i think if there was a scene to speak of, i would see metal flyers on campus. i see a lot of christian, funk, punk, emo, blues bar type shit, etc. i've yet to really notice a metal show being advertised. of course there has to be a couple of bands out there, but i don't see them making waves.

LSU is a bunch of crazy-ass Cajuns, have fun. I don't know anything about UK because they suck at football.

If I go to UK, would you want to jam sometime?

That sucks dude.

Well, I have confirmed that I am going to UK. If anyone in that area wants to jam, let me know. I found a dude to play drums already because he is going to go to LCC which is on UK's campus.

would it be Josh Flowers?

If you ever want to jam let me know. I do bass and vocals and a little bit of regular guitar.
