So what now? I'm not a big interview guy, I've posted too much these past 2 days and I don't want to disappoint this community I love. Do I repeat bands? Do I try posting songs I don't even like, or do I just stop and let you take over?

I've appreciated seeing some throwbacks! Your had submissions that I haven't listened to in 15+ years. What's the harm in repeating bands?

I try to bring something new to the table everytime, but I guess there is a lot more I could post if I repeat bands.

I seriously appreciate finding new metal (new to me at least) so please do whatever makes you happy here!

I’ve posted too much

Nope, no such thing. Maybe try posting some even deeper cuts from the bands/albums you like?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Alright. I like that.

Sit back and let the rest of us inspire. :)

Yup. I can spam right back 😁

I was almost bored of metal until I discovered BabyMetal. I understand that it can be very marmitish and for many people it's not "real metal", but for me and many others they were a huge breath of fresh air on to the scene.

Man, go with whats kinda metal.

I'm not a metal guy but most of my friends are. When I added the String Quartet Tribute To Tool to my mix my friends noticed.

When I went to a Dan Bern concert last year one of my metal friends said "Is that the Tiger Woods guy?"

Fuck labels. He was right, the weird 90s folk singer I added to our mixes did that song.

The elitism and people caring about sub-sub-sub-genres and debating what fits where is why I got out of the local metal scene.

I've grown to appreciate different genres, just exploring and finding crap I like, regardless of popularity or labels.

Musically speaking, I'm much happier with this practice than trying to fit in. But I've always been a loner even amongst other loners, lol.

Everything ends by slipknot has been stuck in my head lately. Everyone knows wait and bleed. But as I type this wait and bleed is playing in my head. The voting will tell you but you could just spread it out more if you think you doing too much
