Well NM the fact is that are degrees of cheesiness in metal. First you have to separate:
- Real cheese
- Fake cheese
In the first type you have those bands who really believe all that crap about true metal or die, who wish to go cladded like a mix between Conan and Robocop everywhere (even the bathroom), who can't give an interview with an IQ over -5 and who despise everyone (including some other metal bands) who don't fart their way.
In the second type you find bands who like to take metal in a fun way, they love their work, they're proud of their music, but they know life is too short to bee too serious.
Second you have to separate the fake cheese into:
- Cheesy with fun and reverence
- Cheesy with fun and irreverence
In the first class you have bands like Hammerfall or Cryonic Temple. They know they are being cheesy for fun but try to play the act nicely.
In the secon class is Dream Evil or Metalucifer (IMO), they know they're cheesy, and they have fun doing something they know is fun to do for the sake of having fun.
Is like westerns, you have a John Ford western, a Sergio Leone western and a Mel Brooks one
But please don't get mad about the commentaries, I love Hammerfall, Cryonic Temple, Dream Evil and many other bands. I consider myself a metalhead, just not a blind fan one, but one who accepts the fun/seriousness, highs/lows of any band.
