    For a lot of us, the instruments, the melody, harmony, and dynamics, etc, is where most the emotion is in music. The lyrics are what usually don't matter to us. You can usually replace the words and not make any difference in the listening experience. I think it's often that way for metal, prog, jazz, and classical. Other genres like folk and rap prioritize different elements, and vocals are more important in them. Another factor is whether a genre's audience includes a lot of musicians, themselves. I think metal has a lot of fans who play instruments themselves and mostly want to hear instruments.

      I’m the same way. People say this song or that song because of the lyrics, but they’re secondary for me. I guess that’s why I’m into instrumental music like classical and jazz. I enjoy good MUSIC, the lyrics aren’t what I focus on.

However, these days many people in their 30s do not have a clue and are aimlessly wandering about unable to move away from their parents, hold down a job, raise a family, take on adult responsibilities, plan for their future and carry on a meaningful conversation, so I think alot of people would be a little surprised at their ages.

    As a follow-up to Orion, I recommend you give "To Live Is To Die" from Metallica. It was one of the last pieces of music that the late Cliff Burton worked on before his untimely passing. While the majority of Metallica's discography is something one experiences with "To Live Is To Die" one goes beyond experiencing it to a point where they feel it. From a music perspective "To Live Is To Die" is perhaps one of the best things Metallica has ever recorded.

Not saying James isn’t amazing or a guitar god, Kirk is just under appreciated for what he’s done for Metallica.

      @My Dixie Wrecked I agree. Kirk fits perfectly with thrash and Metallica. Kirk has always been one of my favorites, and when I started listening to music I couldn't imagine a more talented guitarist. As I listened to more music and learned more about music I found other guitarists that I thought were slightly better in different ways. Tone, difficult chord shapes, innovation in song building, rhythm (there is a great part in Some Kind of Monster where James is trying to get Kirk to play a specific rhythm section and he can't get it, so they had to simplify it). Make no mistake that even after that Kirk is still one of my favorites, and always will be.
