Thanks Heather...I am aconcert junkie and I am very much into old and new metal...I just get an adrenaline rush from it. People are like why do you listen to that, all they are doing is screaming? Its a rush. As for Metallica, I understand what they are saying at least. Can't say that for most of the bands I listen to though...haha.

When someone says "how can you listen to that?," tell them to explain what polyphony is. If they can't, tell them to explain the subtleties between the phrygian mode and the aeolian. If they can't, ask them how many sharps are in the A Major scale. If they can't, tell them to shut the **** up because Metal musicians know what I'm talking about and they don't and they obviously have no basis criticizing things they're too stupid to understand.
For the record, I've said this before more than once. Makes me feel good. I hate people who blast Metal then put on something that takes NO talent like American Idol.
Metal is where it's at. Metal has the best musicians, hands down. (Well, I admit that Jazz has some sick bassists). Metal is the finest form of music since the Romantic Era of Classical (from Ludwig van Beethoven to arguably Antonin Dvorak).
Also for the record, Kirk Hammett and the late Cliff Burton know this stuff way better than I do.
