    4:40 there is a dynamic between a rock solid drummer and a lunatic guitar player that makes its own stereo picture, the drummer acts as a foundation that is so dependantly reliable that enables the guitarist to get so far off of the beat but have everything stay together, but that always land on the one together, it's magical

    Man I wish I had friends who were into the metal scene in the late 90's. If I had any I would've been able to see an early Strapping Young Lad, Death's Chuck Schuldiner, and Dimebag Darrell. By the time I did have friends in the metal scene Chuck and Dime were dead and Strapping had broken up a year prior. The only good thing that came out of it was that I got to experience Ziltoid hot off the press at age 17. As a result that album heavily influenced my music tastes more than it would have normally had I gotten into the scene earlier.

      Most people are scared to leave their town it seems. Literally every real person I've ever met is a metal head. I've never met someone who had integrity that didn't like metal music. Literally Not one person. So in my 43 years of life I have learned that anyone who says they hate metal music have no integrity at all. These phonies go home and are closet metal heads.
