U are looking at one of the biggest Metal fans here.
Metal is my life pretty much! Metal is one of my biggest influences.
My favorite bands are METALLICA, PANTERA, a little Slayer, MEGADETH, Dethklok, Iron Maiden, Disturbed...I can go on but I won't. I mostly enjoy the old thrash bands, but I enjoy a few new bands. A little Slipknot, not into Bullt for my Valentine as much...
However, Death Metal is something I can live without.
CAnnibal Corpse sucks.
Metallica, you may say that their golden age was their older stuff. You may be right. However, as a fan of them, I respect all of their work. This includes St. Anger, which is probably my most respected Metallica album (Not favorite, respected.) Metallica's work, even their newer stuff portrays amazing themes, and those themes gained my love for Metal.
Three things saved me I believe.
- Jesus Christ (yeah, I'm a christian, and a Metalhead.)
- Marching Band (Music is my life)
- Metallica (I easily connect with them)
Yeah, Metal will forever stay alive.
I quote Phil Anselmo from a live Pantera Concert:
"Let me hear some of that ****ing noise, that's what I'm talking about! You know what I've been saying- Look up here, you know what I've been saying all along? I'm sure that maybe I've read somewhere, you know, and I speak my mind and I talk about some s***, and I ****ing tell it like it is. I don't know if yo've ever heard about uh...you know how, the philosophy of Pantera goes, you know we don't give a flying f*** about any others. All we care about is our own. And all I've been saying for ****ing years, to all these stupid ****ing experts-! Hey! You know what the experts are telling you? That heavy music is dead and gone, but you all do me a favor. You all do me a favor. You all turn around and look at each other right now, you all turn around and look at all these mother****ing people here. And obviously someone is wanting to hear something that these ****ing experts are telling you 'You ain't supposed to be here.' Right well check this out."
-Philip Anselmo (Vocalist for Pantera)
To all those who say Heavy Music is dead and really mean it, I give a very nice hand gesture to lol.
"HEAVY MUSIC IS ALIVE AND WELL!" -Phil Anselmo
