That's what I love from metal, and that's what I love from hip-hop. That's what I love from any music that's hard, that's got an edge to it-The attitude in it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm completely open about the fact that I don't love every genre of metal. I like what I like. It's got to have some vocal quality and some semblance of melody.
One thing I always loved about hip-hop music was the raw, boom-bap element - it felt powerful and manly.
I like hard rock, and classic rock, and even metal.
I just felt like I'd rather listen to even the worst metal song more than most current pop music.
I am a big fan of music in general. I listen to all genres: hip-hop, R&B, whatever sounds good to me; it doesn't matter to me where it comes from - there are no boundaries, no fences. If I like it, then it will inspire me to create.
I like a lot of metal music. So that's really what I listen to a lot. Or I listen to a lot of kind of off the cuff, like I love artists like Santigold, or Gold Frapp. Yeah. Pelican. Yeah.
I was a fan of heavy music - first metal, then punk, then hip hop.
Well, I didn't really grow up playing or listening to metal, like many of the kids I went to school with. I only got into it in my late teens, so when Marilyn Manson formed, it was at a time when I was still excited about approaching music from that angle.
That's the reason why I'm making albums. That's the reason why I love hip-hop: It's a challenge every time.
I think stuff on the radio is mostly good, but it's just not what I'm into. I'm not into rap metal.
