My girlfriend doesnt like metal, i dont drag her to metal gigs. And i dont tak her everywhere. I have my independance and she has hers.
That's ok. But I (we) love to hear the music loud at home nearly every day. I can't imagine I could listen to Bloodbath if she would hate metal.
Our appartement looks like a "metal-cave" with posters, tickets, cds, action figures, skulls, dragons, bats,....... If I had a "normal" girl, we'd have flowers, harts, teddybears,......
uke:
Other chicks tell their husbands when they get 30: CUT YOUR HAIR!
My girl often says: IF YOU EVER CUT YOUR HAIR, I'LL QUIT!
And there's nothing better than comming home with a new cd and listen to it together and talk about it (even if one of us doesn't like it - these are great music discussions)
90% of our friends are metalheads, so we go out in metal-clubs & bars. If she wasn't into metal, she would have to stay at home nearly every day!
I've no problem spending our money on shows, cds & shirts, because she spends the same amount of money.
The good thing is: We both listened to metal before we met 9 years ago. So we "learned" from each other. It was and is a good exchange of music knowledge and taste.
Example:
I love Anthrax & Black Sabbath.
First she hated them because she didn't know their music , but now she has her own mix-tapes of 'em in her car and shouts louder than me at the shows.
I was into death & thrashmetal. 9 years ago. The rest sucked.
Since I met her I also like stoner, industrial, gothic, black ....metal.
Also the other way round. The best: We BOTH hate "true-spandex-hair-metal" like Manowar, etc.
So she opened my mind and I saw many bands live I'd NEVER see if I didn't met her.
Surely there are some bands she doesn't like (Hypocrisy, Arch Enemy....) and I don't like (Zakk Wylde, Pantera....). But that's ok. We need our own taste.
Don't think we're together 24 hours: I have my own "hobby": Soccer (Every week I meet my non-metal friends watching the game having a beer without her)
In fact I can't imagine a better life.
The only worry I have: At her office the chicks are real dico-queens. She has to listen to Pop-Radio the whole day since 4 years now. Till today she didn't change (she's immune) but maybe one day the MTV-Virus gets her, our appartement gets pink, her hair blonde, her cloths colorful, her tattoes fall off, her piercings are sold on ebay and I've to wear headphones or go to a Britney-Show.
Dear Lord of the Darkness, PLEASE never let this happen!!!!
