I love the fact that there’s a sub-genre called Folk Metal — I’m trying to imagine Cradle Of Filth, for example, singing Simon And Garfunkel tunes.

Led Zepplin and the like... other than that outfits like Metallica kinda suck... and yet I like ACDC.... but is ACDC metal or heavy or more kinda stadium rock.... oh and KISS was not so bad in small doses... you know... like herpes. personally I hate any sort of ‘metal’ music except maybe in it’s infancy… you know… Led Zepplin and the like… other than that outfits like Metallica kinda suck… and yet I like ACDC…. but is ACDC metal or heavy or more kinda stadium rock…. oh and KISS was not so bad in small doses… you know… like herpes.

The right stuff in the right amplitude can clear your head. Bad metal is like bad acid...it can make you feel fupped duck, a little too rattled, a tad testy. At least that's how i measure it.
