Couldnt have said it better myself.


As for the genre I have been enjoying for almost 25 years (of my 37 year life), heavy metal, the current crop of new artists doesnt particularly work for me - when you have just aggression without ANY iota of substance than you are nothing but 'white noise' to my ears (Watch MTV 2's Headbanger's Ball for many an example of 'white noise').

Smaller metal labels have so many 'cookie cutter' bands out it is hard to find one to enjoy from infancy til they become an established artist. I hope that trend changes...At least the rap (As my 14 yr.old niece has publicly stated "Rap needs to pack it up and leave") has been REMOVED from my music, Thank God/Allah/Whoever!!!!
