A Taiwanese Band with Fake, Nice Look

Besides listening to American, British or other European metal, rock bands, I sometimes listen to metal bands from our mother land, Taiwan, too, such as Chthonic and Anthelion. Concerts of those Taiwanese bands usually have good qualities, and the way they treat their fans sometimes are even better than those bands from The U.S. or Europe, like they often hold meet-and-greets to be interactive with fans. At first I thought they are far better than bands like Linkin Park, the band that didn't even have interaction with their fans in Taiwan during the concert and soon left after the concert, but I soon discovered that I was wrong after I went to the meet-and-greet of a Taiwanese death metal band, Chthonic; the conversation really disappointed me. At first they allowed us to ask some questions, but what they responded always involved in politics and their political ideas, which they indirectly indicated that they supported the independence of "Taiwan", not R.O.C., which was the idea of the green party in Taiwan. Although I stay neutral on politics, this is not what I want to hear or know from them. It's funny that I went to their meet-and-greet to hear their political ideas, right? Soon after I left the site of the meet-and-greet because I couldn't take that anymore. Another event that dissapointed me more than that meet-and-greet was in April, the concert of an American metalcore band, Avenged Sevenfold. There was another Thailand band called Dezember coming with Avenged Sevenfold on that day, they also performed in the concert. Anyway, the concert supposed to start at 7:00 p.m., but somehow we kept waiting, and when we looked at the watch, it was already 8:30 p.m., and the concert hadn't started yet. Some people started being inpatient and asking the organizer to remit, but the organizer just kept telling us to wait since the site was so dangerous that the speak might even fall down and harm people. The crowd became furious and started bulling (I was in the crowd and the one who was angry, too), even some people started singing the national anthem since they got nothing to do. However, when the people were furious and screaming that they were going to crash the stage and site, a man with black jacket went out with microphone; he was the vocal of Silent Hell (a Taiwanese metalcore band), Dan. He commanded us to move backward to make sure our own safety, and we did. After a while, the concert started. However, after the concert, when we started leaving the site, my friends and I saw Dan smoking beside us, and suddenly he shouted some bad words to a person who touched a part of drums, which was put outside, and told him strictly not to touch it or he'll be punched right in the face. I was very disappointed and mad at this: you were just a vocal of a Taiwanese metal band, your band couldn't even be performing with Avenged Sevenfold, the worldwide band that won many awards; your band couldn't even be compared to the band from Thailand! I was so disappointed that he kept being a fake, which he talked nicely to their fan but actually just acting like that. Therefore, I discovered that any band or anything, we can't just judge it by their appearance or how they treat people in front of public. I am still disappoint by those bands today.
