Two years ago I posted my newfound interest in metal and asked the question:
That got me some great comments, such as
"It's a phase." -FatMenace
"it's a phase.....just like slaton was" -andyroosky
"That ought to be one homely looking bunch. It'll all be either 50 year old metal leftovers or 15 year olds thinking they're alternative. All will be wearing Iron Maiden T-shirts to the concert." -gk
"Not all metal is created equal. There is some pretty bad metal out there. The best was 80s into early 90s. On occassion I've come across some metal that is good but I tend to stay wrapped up in the classic past when metal ruled all that was good and decent in the world." -grubbi
"There's nothing worse than the incorrect labeling of hard rock as metal. " -The Mayor
"It's not a phase it the completing of a well rounded person interest in good music. Classical with metal. Creates the right type of mindset. Creativity with rage." -Red
I would have crowed a year later but that board died. In the intervening time I've managed to see DragonForce and Mastodon (and Dethklok a second time). I'm happy to report that today I got my ticket to see Iron Maiden again this summer (along with Dream Theater). And this time I'll have an Iron Maiden t-shirt to wear to the show so I won't stick out!
A year from now will I still be interested in metal, or will I revert back to classic rock?
