I'll answer you Jimbeam,
Motley Crue are my favourite band in the world.
However, the music that defined one of the biggest parts of my life as a young man was Black Metal, Mayhem, Morbid, Darkthrone, Eostenem, and loads of the stuff that came out of it, like La Masquerade and Ulver and that sort of stuff. We were big bad bikers, with fuck loud stereos, and to be honest, looking back, it was all a bit silly.

A group of big, bad bikers
and you. Looking like you were lifted out of Henry VIII's court. You must have fitted *right* in.

Yeah,
we weren't really all that bad ass, and 2 of the guys didn't even have bikes.

Actually that's a cool story.
I used to be a 'Metaller', but wasn't really living the dream. On Motley Crue - I don't rate the music (although technically, I do appreciate their skills), but the stories that went with them are fantastic!

I was a metaller in my mid teens
Then I realised the inherent ridiculousness of the whole genre and got into other stuff too.

I was never a Metallica fan though, Christ no.

I'm with you on the Metallica front PLMDZR
I think it was the beards, or it could have been the 'been done better by others' music that put me off

We sort of lived it,
Bike meets most weekends in the summer, then working over in france through the winter to pay for our summer of biking, i often worked bar at the events so the guys could drink free. Working on the bikes out in the street with stereos blasting nasty black metal, the odd fight, drugs, the whole lot i suppose. I don't miss it at all.
