Metal to the death. Everything else sucks.

I love a lot of stuff outside metal. What I don't like is lowest-common-denominator music that presents nothing challenging or thoughtful. A lot of people in the 80s thought Bon Jovi was "metal". I disagreed -- it was run-of-the-mill pop with loud guitars. And plenty of what is considered "real" metal is still crap in my eyes, or ears.

I listen to most genres of music regularly. But I refuse to listen to oatmeal. I listen for musicality, no matter the genre. My favorite bands are bands that do not stick to one groove and milk it.

I love both these takes on a great song:









Both are metal as fuck, although they have entirely different vibes.

Pretty cool that Johnny got Tom Petty to back him.
