Here's me. Not my best photo.
I got into heavy metal in the middle 1970s because it was the only music that had balls back then. I've always not really liked the hippie thing. So I started out with Motorhead, then Black Sabbath, then Maiden, Priest, Zeppelin, Purple... aw yeah!
Heavy metal wasn't really important to me until I started hearing death metal, specifically Suffocation and Deicide. I never liked the church but now I had a new reason to despise it... they wouldn't tolerate the music I loved. But then I got to thinking, how is it that the church of LOVE wouldn't recognize my LOVE for metal music? After that, all of society unravelled for me. It was all lies.
I guess I'm a pretty alienated dude these days. One of my best friends is a meth dealer, another is the king of shemale porn, and the rest are Nazis or headbangers. But I'm pretty damn far from being a yuppie.
