Two things you should know. 1. I was a "metalhead" in high school. I like more of the classic type of metal. You know, before all of the "singers" started screaming and screeching like banshees. Maybe that makes me old... Don't get me wrong. I don't "hate" the new stuff. I just prefer it in small doses. 2. I used to be a DJ in a "gentleman's" club. That means I've been exposed to a fairly wide range of music and, consequently, own an ecclectic set of CDs. There isn't much out there that I can't stand. Unless you're talking about dance club classics. I hate that shit.

I also have limited proficiency as a musician. I play guitar and bass. Not very well, but I can fake it.
