In regards to the race question, I don't know if many metalheads would give it much thought, but they'd be the first to acknowledge that it is peculiar when brought up.

But if you say the name Vernon Reid, the words "sick", "awesome", "god amongst men", and other honorary titles would probably be thrown out before anyone would say "black dude".

Sometimes it really is just about the music.

Mistaken Identity is a must have album if you don't already do.

That's right, it was really just the music press that made a big deal about his race.  Actual fans were just in awe with his chops.

Also, Ministry/Rigor Mortis guitarist Mike Scaccia died yesterday after collapsing on stage.  Dude was only 47.

Yeah, but he liked the heroin. So does Al.

The fillers in junk will take 10-20 off the ticker. I keep waiting for the announcement of Al being found in a bathroom somewhere.

Nonetheless, sad news.

This thread went far, but for no real apparent reason. Everything anyone needs to know about what is or isn't "metal" is right here:

The reason the thread went as far as it did is because it contained the word Metal.

Metalheads are the biggest fucking geeks on the planet (I say that with love) and CANNOT RESIST an opportunity to talk about Metal. :lulz:

Indeed. I was quite proud of myself for just posting the pithy one-liner and not actually reading the next ten pages of the thread. :lulz:

Those two words do not belong next to each other. They do not belong in the same sentence. In fact, they don't even belong in the same fucking dictionary  :argh!:

I seem to remember some "metal" band that 14-16 year old girls liked called "HIM." A rather cute Russian former coworker described them as "Love Metal" I was happy when she said "I don't listen to them anymore."
