Yeah, ok man. If you say so. So a guy would lie through his friggin teeth if it meant impressing a chick? I'm sorry, but not every guy does that. I certainly do not. If I meet a chick that I find to be good looking, or "hot" I'm not going to walk up to her and tell her I listen to Britney Spears or some crap like that or make up lies that I'm rich.
No - I think the point was that a guy wouldn't admit to liking Manowar. I'm not acting as referee here but you threw in the Britney Spears bit. Most guys do stretch the truth - come on, be honest...it's funny because most chicks know it. That's what makes it all so deceptive yet fun. Remember: Men are from Mars....
If a metal dude meets a Manowar chick, she's a hound? That's a swallow comment to make.
Swallow? That, in the industry, is a "freudian slip". ahem. And I know this is a generalization but most attendees at a Manowar gig are prepubescent boys. In the same way, most of the audience at an N'Sync concert are prepubescent girls. These are just facts man, and every record label has a target audience. Marketing is a piece of cake when you can reach kids with pocket money.
I've gone to many concerts and I go in there with my eyes WIDE-OPEN and I've seen plenty of good looking, super-model material, girls.
That's a stretch - unless you're talking about the chicks in the cages at a Kid Rock show. If you want good looking chicks, you have to lean towards the mainstream. Yeah it's an opinion, but if I had the choice of Elvira or Pamela Anderson, I know which one I'm picking.
"The image of Manowar and Hammerfall is sooo embarrasing, and it's a blemish on the rest of metal that is trying to convey a serious message." I disagree with that statement. Now, I love black metal, but can you honestly say that bands like Immortal (I'm a fan of Immortal), that wear face paint and dress like they're children of Satan, are trying to be serious? Honestly, as much as I like Immortal, they look like they belonged in the WWF back in the 80's, hanging out with the Demolition and the Legion of Doom.
But that's a contradiction. How can you disagree with the statement and yet critisize Immortal? Not that I'm an immortal fan, but for the love of god, swords and sandals? Jeez.
You may have the guts to post your thoughts, but you do not have the guts to be honest with a woman.
You may be a little confused yourself....and I thought seeing a tribute to Rock Hudson was the gayest thing I'd seen all week.
I love this forum - it's so easy to tell the difference between the teenagers in puppy love and the people who have gone beyond their mid-20's. Oh how life changes....
From my perspective, music is just not that important. I am not obsessed with defending heavy metal. There is a whole world out there- anthropology is an art - and it's not confined to the computer keyboard either.
