Listened to Metal
For about six months. My mates at the time (aged about 14) were all listening to Metallica, Pitchshifter, Sepultura, Megadeath, etc. I just wanted to be able to talk about the same stuff really.

After a few months and about the 5th attempt to listen to 'Roots' by Sepultura, I just gave up. I like Sabbath, etc.. but nearly all the stuff they were into was metal of the worst sort unimaginative, puerile (not in a good way), and tuneless.

I told them so. They kicked me out of our band for being soft :-(

We were shit anyway...

Same kettle of fish
I joined a band looking for a vocalist because they believed I could sing and songwrite.

They liked Cannibal Corpse. I like Pink Floyd and Eric Clapton. I was kindly asked to remove my homosexual presence from their all-man metal band before I was assualted for my 'faggotry'.

Two of them got a civil partnership last year. Bless.

Ha
there's a latent quite blokes-only, homoerotic side to metal they hate for you to point out, isn't there?

I still find it hilarious how distraught so many people were when the lead singer of Judas Priest came out. It's like ' A bloke who has spent his whole career singing really camp songs in an overly theatrical style and dressing all in leather? And he's gay, you say? Surely not...'

Women have no place in the homoerotic world of black metal!
Also, Manowar is made of queer.

Check out some old-school thrash, or some nordic melodeath. Now with 94% less (closeted) homokaasu!

Oh God yeah
Manowar was the gayest thing ever.

Like some sort of Caveman-themed spread in Playgirl
