My opinion on metal ? I think Metal is a variety ( you still have a choice in metal and still accepted in the metal community) You have the battle of the riffs, the fastest, the loudest, the darkest... ( Mr Mustaine) The beauty in the metal ( Randy R and Marty Friedman )But you also have some people with demons in their lives and locked out by society for what these issues have been or it's a problem we don't talk about etc... and there is the music, their serenity, their way to express what they feel inside.....You also have your shock rockers as well, you have to admit, these musicans are geniues's! But we choose what we listen to as fans.. Escape goat for society? We are but metal heads have heavy fuckin shoulders !
