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.
