How does it have anything to do with what I was raised on? THAT is the music that was played to me as a kid.. I was raised on those bands. I was a kid being raised by a mother who loved Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd Zepplin and Meat Loaf.. that's what was constantly playing throughout my childhood. You understand what the term "being raise on" means don't you (re-read that sentence in the non-bitchy tone in which in was meant)?

Look, duder. I like what I like. I was raised on Queen, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Ventures, blah blah blah. Who gives a shit? I was just curious as to how what you were raised on musically has any connection at all to a band being "cliche metal". Perhaps I read your paragraph wrong. It really doesn't matter. Don't be a dick.

I'm not a huge Sabbath fan (the Dio years are my favorites), I just "like" Judas Priest, and Maiden happens to do it for me. Is that ALL I listen to? No. My musical taste is as vast as the ocean, my friend...but I am not going to deny that a certain band or musical style elicits a positive repsonse from me because someone might or might not think it is "cool", or that I am a cliche lovin-purist.

I wasn't being a dick.. that's why I put the "re-read in non-bitchy tone" in brackets. I respect almost anyone that like metal, it's a genre a music that's frowned upon by a lot up uptight, straight lace asses. We're all friends here.. well.. most of us (again, NOT referring to you..we've just met and I've heard good things about you)

My apologies if that's how it came across.. I've have been awake for far too long. What some for favourite bands? Any good recommendations?

Black Wreath, Mournful Congregation, Ahab, the aforementioned Twilight, Immortal, Bloodbath, Borknagar, Alcest, Eagle Twin & Mouth of the Architect have been dominating my iPod lately. I'm kinda all over the place.

.....and Manowar

I do, indeed
I missed MOTA about a month ago. I was seriously considering going, but I live in a shitty location that requires driving at least 3 hours in any direction in order to see a good show, and it was on a weeknight, and waaaaaahhhhhhh, poor baby couldn't go. I did get to see YOB and Shrinebuilder not too long ago, though. YOB was FUCKING AMAZING.
I will check out your blog, fo' sho'.

Thank you for the recommendations (minus Manowar, I've heard them before.. not my thing).. I'll give all these bands a listen.

Quoted, just because Meshuggah kick serious amounts of technical, bicep exploding ass.
