Maybe, Metalossama, you'll like to hear that I started with heavy metal/hardcore/goth/death metal before getting into... I don't know, "The Beach Boys."
Something you might not want to hear is that I consider Metal and all ten billion incarnations of it (or is it the other way around?) a stepping stone. I got into more diverse and complex music as a breath of fresh air from metal and such.
Honestly metal is diverse and complex, but I find the stories and characters of anything but such angry sounding music - and I can relate better - to anything metal ever gave me. I was in grade school/early high-school then, and it made sense to me then, but issues are different now that I'm a man.
So I listen to "Pet Sounds" because I've lived what Brian Wilson has talked about, but don't ever pin me down to one music style.
If you've read all that and are now on this line, know that I would like to go back to listening to metal. There's something still for me there : ) But we all know that I'll be quoted and flamed at for what I said above.
