It kills me when I see some metal band trying to pass themselves off as an 'alternative band.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Any band that is out there chasing it is doing more destruction to music then someone who is out there playing what they truly feel.
You'd be surprised the type of people who are into metal when you see them. Sometimes I'm even surprised, but it's cool. That's the reason it's still around.
Pop music, disco music, and heavy metal music is about shutting out the tensions of life, putting it away.
I won't join another band again.
If you are a pop band, don't say you're a metal band. Poison and Warrant were about as metal as the Backstreet Boys.
Hopefully people can look at our band and see that we're a heavy rock band. We're definitely not a metal band, but we're a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.
Every band I've worked with also wants to be countercultural in the sense that they want to feel that they've gone somewhere that nobody else has been.
Sometimes I don't want to be in the confines of what a band seems to provide.
Bands develop their own weird ways of doing things.
I just felt like I'd rather listen to even the worst metal song more than most current pop music.
