I know a few people who honestly say "Whenever I listen to country music, theres a guy singer and theres a girl singer." They aren't being assanine, thats just what they think, and there was a time where I felt the same way. Most country male singers have a voice moving toward baritone. Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Josh Turner. The one country guy most people know was Johnny Cash and he was deep too.

It borders on the absurd sometimes, and Hetfield starts off that deep as well so I imagine that its where you're finding a connection. Beyond that though, I don't really hear the country connotation.

Is there a reason you don't like the genre? Country that is?

And that drove me nuts for a million reasons. So when i heard country music that actually made me laugh (intentionally) I could actually enjoy it. Is there something you hate about country? Feel free to PM me and we can start a new thread...

Maybe you're own "Sell Janszoon on the Beatles"

I don't mean that hardcore super metal fans would be unaware, but even my mom knows who Slayer is, and I think that indirect association is directly related to Metallica's commercial success.
