What we’re about
A society consists of like-minded people governed by their own norms and values within a dominant, larger environment- Welcome to the Atlanta Rock & Metal Society!
This meetup group is a judgement free zone, designed for all metro Atlanta fans of rock and metal music to come together and enjoy all things rock! What’s not to love about going to see great live shows with some good friends, right? We plan events that take us to a variety of the greatest live venues that Atlanta has to offer, as well as other gatherings that will allow us to chill and socialize as a group.
In the spirit of building a true Society we have a few basic rules:
• We require that all members attend at least one event in each calendar year, this is a MeetUp group after all!
• In the event that you amass 3 no-shows, we will give you the boot! It's inconsiderate and downright rude to stand up you fellow Society Members!
• We also require each user include a photo in their profile so that we may be able to identify you when you come to events.
So, if you are a fan of Rock/Hard Rock/Metal and, can abide by these rules ...Come rock out with us!
