That's what metal means to me, feeling that feeling when you hear something that totally turns you on.

I like whatever's good. Metal, rock, new or old - I don't care, as long as it does something to my brain.

If it entertains you, cool - read it, listen to it, watch it. But if it horrifies or disgusts you or scares you, then don't listen to it.

I've got friends in bands who seem like they're always on tour, even still. It may be in some people's blood. I'm sure some bands do it just to earn a living or for the experience.

I can safely say that any band with a sentence for a name, 6 members or more and carefully combed to the side hairdos are not metal no matter what distortion pedal they have for their guitars.

People get so upset about lyrics, and they're probably totally cool with horror movies. That doesn't really make sense.
