Well, to be fair there will be some out there but considering extreme metal didn't really exist until the early 80's, then most people who were among the first generation to listen to it, who'd probably about 13 to 18, which I'd say tends to be the most important time in the development of your musical taste, would probably only being having kids in the mid to late nineties. Therefore there kids probably wouldn't really be into music just yet or are maybe just getting into it. Nonetheless most of these kids probably still wouldn't be at the age where they could hold a mature disscussion about music incorporating a wide variety of musical genres into their taste.
With me it was really the other way round, like I said, I've intoduced my mam to some extreme metal, she's not a regular listener but i'd like to think I've broadened her horizons a little.

:Wreath: said:yea... you seem to have a tactic similar to my fathers... only I never got that much into jazz as he wished me to
jazz is one of the last genres i ever got into. it REALLY takes a maturity level to full appreciate it...its not really accessible, or even "catchy" in most circumstances...so its appeal to a younger audience is no mystery to me. however, its a fantastic genre with a ton of talent and material to offer anyone willing to give it an honest try. guys like miles davis, john coltrane, charles mingus and thelonious monk are perfect starting points.

at least their earlier works... unless you're an acid junkie, than you can easily start with Bitches Brew by Miles or the free jazz albums by Coltrane
but I do admit, I began to appreciate jazz only long after my metalhead period...I'd add Keith Jarret's earlier works to the list... I doubt if he's an easy listen but songs like Prism or My Song are absolutely magnificent

Well I observed the same... I think it's because if you don't play an instrument, I don't think you can fully admire improvisation, the fundament of jazz. I go to jazz concerts as much as I can because it's astonishing for me how perfectly some of these musicians cooperate and mutually respond, though they may have met only seconds before walking on stage (it happened a few times)...

i have an original vinyl pressing. a reissue cd, and then the latest remastered version with bonus tracks. i should probably unload the other cd copy...but it has some sentimental value.

I was listening to 'the best of the police' cd the other day and when i went to listen to the original vinyl pressing the speed difference was incredible. It feels like a whole load of different songs.

hmm possibly....but it didn happen on the others, like 'Please, please me' the original vinyl sounds the same as the cd does.
edit: cept for the mono to stereo... i meant speed..

The thing with "Kind of Blue" is that the original tape machine used in tracking was running a bit slow. If I understand it correctly, when they mixed it on a different machine that was running at normal speed, the recording played slightly faster. The new CD accounts for that, but it's a minor difference, apparently. I haven't heard the original, so I can't attest to the difference myself.
This is something different than the variablity of turntable speeds. I once heard Tom Dowd talk about his issues with vinyl, and it was pretty enlightening. He hated vinyl.
