Any metal heads here?

I love the genre of Metal Bob hates, and vice versa. All is fair and its trivial to try and figure out who is more open minded or whatever.

Its all fucking metal, lets just rock out and keep it real.

See? Even a guy whose balls I busted says I'm fair. Though I would say that it is not at all trivial to figure out who is more open-minded, as serial very clearly set the terms of closed-mindedness as "doesn't like a genre of metal". So let's see how many serial doesn't like compared to me, and we will have our answer. But serial would rather fuck off than talk about metal.

I've been waking up every night to this song (it's one 30 minute song; the first uploaded part doesn't have a high-quality version for some reason, but the following two do), and it's been fucking awesome. I recommend everybody do the same.

Moonsorrow are pretty decent folk/pagan metal stuff, haven't listened to a lot of them but I have an album or two on my computer

Also while we are shamlessly promoting things check Metalscape (link), its a metal podcast, more of a talk show with some metal interspersed.

Aw man, I love them to death. Almost everything they make is pure genius.

I'll be sure to check more albums out once I get through my backlog of albums that I have to download.

[Cretaceous Bob]

...You do buy the albums you like, right?

[greggcarson]

Nope, not even gonna lie and say I just download to see if I like the album and plan to buy it later, I'm just too poor and its hard to find decent metal albums in shops.

The only time I pay for albums is if I see a smaller band live and I get it at the merch table or once or twice I have bought smaller bands albums off the internet.

Go fuck yourself. I'm no longer reading anything you have to say.

I make $9 an hour, I pay all my bills, and I eat shitty just so I can buy tickets for shows, pay for a fuckload of $30 shirts, buy the CDs, etc. etc.

There's no excuse for not supporting the artists, you're just a cheap shit who doesn't care about the music.

I make £30 a week, that just about enough to cover my drinking and smoking habits plus the occasional big concert.

I also care alot about the music, I go to any local gigs I can, there the ones who really need support and big concerts where I can afford, that's really what supports bands, a band will get more money from me going to one concert and getting a shirt at it than they would be buying 4 or 5 albums from my local shop.

[Cretaceous Bob]

That's right, try to justify how shitty you are.

Thief.
