Talk:Manga (band)

Nu metal band ?

Seems like Manga falls into the nu metal subgenre, considering their fusion of metal with rap, usage of turntables etc. Linkin Park who have a similar style are classed as Nu metal. Shall i go on ahead and put in "Nu metal" for the band info box ? - Raki-holic 03:55, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They themselves state that they are "touched by" nu-metal but as Deniz from Vega stated in one of the interviews, maNga makes maNga music :) And Göksel also said that although it is some kind of nu-metal, they do mix it with Anatolian sounds which makes them quite different from Linkin Park & co. So I might also add that they are mixing rockchip-hop&rap with Anatolian melodies. (Yagmur said this and I guess he knows best as he writes most opf the music.)

Album availability in USA

I like what I hear from this band, but I have no idea how to get a copy of the album here in the states. Amazon.com doesn't have the album... does anyone know of a way I can get a copy (other than risking eBay)?

Hiya 71.38.21.102,

You can get it over at http://tulumba.com/ , a turkish online store. - Raki-holic 00:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Death metal???

I wonder why 212.32.122.107 changed the nu-metal label into melodic DEATH metal? I really don't think they fit into the death meatl category, they are FAR not as "hard"! --Teemeah 13:07, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yagmur Sarigül (the band's electric guitarist and songwriter) in the programme Müzik Dergisi on the channel TV8 (June 2005) answered the following to the question of how he would define maNga:

"Rock müzik. Son dönem nu metal akımından etkilenen bir rock grubu (...). Hiphop kültüründen de etkilişimler oluyor, Anadoluluk'tan da etkilişim oluyor"

Translation: Rock music. A rock band, effected by the latest nu metal movement (...). There is a touch of the hip hop culture, as well, and a touch of Anatolian melodies, too.

So on the bases of this, I re-change the categorization as NU METAL and clarify the genre as Yagmur did. --Teemeah 18:17, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Rewrite?

I think this topic needs a rewite of some sections... some bits sound really tacky:

"He was born...." etc for all of the members... also: "Let's see the boy's names" just sounds really tacky.

re-write it then. And please, if you communicate, write your name, so that we would know whom to talk to... --Teemeah Gül Bahçesi 13:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
