If someone could add a list of performances, that would be great. I've already added mention of the fanclub DVD release, but I don't have much information passed that about other performances.
- I added all of the concerts. I'm pretty sure that's it. Still need descriptions and prices for a couple.222.152.0.165 03:17, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Genre?
At least I know The Black Mages has nothing to do with power metal (no double bass drums, no high vocals, not fast enough, no shredding etc.). It doesn't feel very right to call it progressive metal either. But I'm sure it's instrumental rock at least. I'll replace the genre with that if no one has anything against it. Also has anyone ideas for some more specific genre?
- why do you think that they are not progressive metal? they clearly fit the description
- Idon't see how a band that does covers of video game music can be called progressive. At all.
- they are not covers, they are remixed into metal songs. besides, most of them write and composed the music
- Regardless of whether they are covers of video game music or not, it can still be progressive metal. "Video game music" is not a genre in itself, but most of the songs The Black Mages arrange are progressive. What is needed is a reliable source for any genre they play in.--TheEmulatorGuy 22:16, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- This band is quite obviously Progressive metal and some songs do indeed have a power metal feel to them, the skies above, for instance. I believe that genre could be a debate here though, as it doesn't follow some rules for those genre tags.
- It's confirmed and obvious they are instrumental rock, but it's not certain about their progressive sound. That's why I wrote the following in the article: "The band arranges Uematsu's musical compositions in a rock style often similar to progressive metal, achieved with the additional use of synthesizers." - this compromise should be level ground for everyone. --TheEmulatorGuy 03:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
