Similarly, metal's all about the culture that surrounds it. No matter how much I love Maiden (or whatever), I'll always feel like I'm just a voyeur on metal culture, because ultimately I think long goatees are shit, hoodies look terrible and nice haircuts and shirts are a good idea. Also, while being able to play the guitar well is impressive, it really doesn't make anyone a decent human being.

I lived and died for Metal back when I was 8-16, the I found Sonic Youth and jane's Addiction.
