I too am a metallica fan
and I would say that I listen to metal more than any other genre, but having said that I also listen to pop, soft and classic rock, jazz, blues, dance, and drum and bass to name but a few.

However I agree that there are a number of metal fans out there who listen to nothing but, and in my opinion they give metal a bad name. If you go to a metal gig you'll find 90% of the audience are nice, polite, well educated people but the remaining 10% will be the meatheads who frown on people if their hair isn't long enough or they don't have a beard, or if they're not headbanging enough. I would imagine, however, that you get the same people in every genre of music and not just metal.
