Metal Matters

(I wrote this in reply to a topic on Jayman's blog, & I thought to re-post it here.)

To me, metal is an extreme. It is the top of the totem poll as far as rock style music can get. I have very wide musical tastes & can listen to just about anything (well….there’s a few styles that I can’t listen to but I’ll ignore them), but right now i am fully caught up in the metal era. I think it is one of those extra things that is needed to fullfill the tastes of all members. We need to have an alternative to every style/genre of system music that we can, so that we can keep our young people/teens off of the junk out there.
Metal gives me a sort of electric shock. It is very emotion-drenched style of music. The whole screaming/wild drums & guitar thing just pulls you to a feeling of extreme power & feeling & emotion. Dad says that music should make you mad, sad, or glad, and metal takes these to new hights.
You’re mad at the devil & the system? Don’t wisper it nicely & politely, SCREAM IT at them! You’re glad to be a child of God, winning the world for him? Don’t secretly tell the person next to you, SCREAM IT on the rooftops! You’re sad that someone you love left the Lord’s service? Don’t mope in your room, SCREAM IT to the Lord.
And that’s all I have to say about metal. Cheers
