    A lot of metal bands weird me out. Long haired baling men scowling at the camera with their arms folded looking cross and angry, i.e. like a teenager. Grow up lads.

    Unless you’re making a handsome living, in which case fair play I suppose

      If you made your living baling you’d be cross and angry too and tempted to express your frustration through the medium of death metal.

        i venture that you could recite the words to ‘insy-winisy-spider’ in a death-metal stylee and it was sound convincing.

      It’s ok that you don’t like metal.
      Nobody’s forcing you to like it, unlike other genres of music that are flung at us from all corners of the media.
      Metal is the the true alternative……..maaaaaaaan.

      Oh its far from the flares and touseled haired led zeppelin look we have come… Unfortunately.
      Most heavy kettle is just rehashed tosh.
      Apart from motorhead of course.

      So’s being a professional footballer. Being paid millions to wear your PE kit and kick a ball around?
      Or an actor. Poor old Ian McKellin pretending to be a wizard.
