Well, here in finland its kinda decent. I live next to helsinki (capital city), and theres like 4-5 bars/venues that usually have some bands playing live on weekends. Metal is a big thing, cant say how many people listen to metal, Rammstein, Metallica etc are huge here, and the more shallow end of Extreme Metal (Children of Bodom, In Flames etc) is pretty common too on peoples playlists. Band shirts are pretty common, but nowadays the numbers have decreased. Dunno, people are moving towards some fucking retarded dance/electro/house garbage.
