- what does heavy metal mean to you?

- how do you feel towards new metal? Please explain why.
"New metal meaning new metal bands emerging or the mainstream nu-metal. For the former (new bands playing metal), I completely support it - we need people into metal, playing metal as well.

[Venymous]

Part 1:

- what does heavy metal mean to you?
it means everything, it defines who i am
- how did you get to know heavy metal? How old were you then?
i got a hold of my aunt's Motley Crue Decade of Decadence cd...i was around 14-15 i guess
- with what sub-genre(s) (power metal, black metal etc) do you identify with the most at the moment?
i cant identify with just one...the human mind is very complex thing with lots of different emotions; i need all styles to satisfy me
- how did you get to know this/those sub-genre(s)?
ive gotten to know every genre through the internet, forums like this, and listening to new bands
- what does this sub-genre mean to you musically and in terms of ideology?
- what other sub-genres do you know? What do you feel towards them?
i know folk metal, power, black, death, progressive, gothic, pretty much all of them. i love them all. each offers something different; thats what allows me to never get bored with metal.
Please list and state your opinions. Is there any band that you despise? Which one(s) and why?
Limp Bizkit and other nu-metal bands. They just make terrible, simple music. Fred Durst is not an artist. If he spend as much time doing music as he does trashing other artists, maybe the band wouldn't be so bad. As for nu-metal. It's just cheesy radio friendly music bands make to get famous and make some money. If nu-metal bands could just spend some time writing music that isn't all power chords they would have something to work with.
- did you ever identify yourself more with other sub-genres? If yes, what were them? Why did you change?
I identify with all genres. I switched about 5 times since starting this survey. It mainly depends on my mood. If im down ill listen to some black or gothic mainly. If im in a great mood ill listen to anything and everything.
- do you dislike being labeled in any form (headbanger, metalhead etc)? Why?
i hate being labeled satanic. listen to metal doesn't make me a devil worshiper. im a Christian too, so I get the "why do you listen to metal" deal.
- for you, what identifies a true metal person?
a person that appreciates and respects the various forms of metal. they don't have to like it; but putting it down isn't right considering it's just their opinion.
- for you, what identifies a false metal person?
a person that listens to the music because its the rebelious thing to do. other people take the music seriously and false metal people are an insult to the people who genuinly live for the music.
- how do you feel towards new metal? Please explain why.
some it is catchy. but in the end its just simple, radio friendly music made to make a buck.

- I think with Black Metal and Metalcore.

- how did you get to know this/those sub-genre(s)?
- I got to them by myself. Downloading new songs and, after that, buying them

- what does this sub-genre mean to you musically and in terms of ideology?
- I think ideology and music don't have to go together. When music is put into an ideology or a social conflict it loses power. Music has to be done for the sensation, for the elation, for the ecstasy and for the feeling of doing it.

- what other sub-genres do you know? What do you feel towards them? Please list and state your opinions. Is there any band that you despise? Which one(s) and why?
- I do listen to a lot of sub-genres, to all of them, I think, with a few exceptions like Nu Metal (that shouldn't be called Metal) or Rap Metal and shits like that. I love them all, except for the exceptions =)

- did you ever identify yourself more with other sub-genres? If yes, what were them? Why did you change?
- I had an only-thrash-and-hardcore-music era. I guess I was depressed while it lasted. But it doesn't mean I got depressed by the music. I sometimes need some screams to get the depressions out of my head.

- do you dislike being labeled in any form (headbanger, metalhead etc)? Why?
- Yes, I don't like being fit in a label, because I don't feel confortable in any of them.

- for you, what identifies a true metal person?
- There is no true metal person except for myself.

- for you, what identifies a false metal person?
- I know, my trveness tells it to me.

- how do you feel towards new metal? Please explain why.
- I don't like it, I get sick while listening to nu metal crap. It should be erased from earth.

Part 2 – Personal data

- how old are you?
- 17

- High School by far.

- where do you live? With whom?

- do you believe in God? Is an adept of any religion? Why?
- I certainly don't. I think religion is good, but religions are bad. I don't believe in God because I can't believe many things from reality, so... how can I believe in supra-terrenal things?

- do you, or have you at any time, let your hair grow? Why? If you haven’t, would you like to? Why?
- I'm growing it. I have always have it very short, but I am growing it because I like it, but only a bit, I won't grow as much as Matthew Barlow (ex-Iced Earth) for example

- do you suffer any kind of preconceiving? If you do, please explain.
- I don't understand.

- how do your parents and neighbours act before your musical preferences?
- My mother doesn't like it, she hardly ever listens to music.

- do you prefer to have quick or long lasting relationships with the opposite sex?
- I have only had one, and it's still alive. I hope it will last until I die.

- how many long lasting relationships have you had? How much time did they last on average?
- I have had none at all, before having this one.

- do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend? How did you get to know her/him?
- TO have a relationship I need to have a girlfriend, I guess (just kidding ). I do have a girlfriend. I knew her in my school.

- have you ever had sexual intercourse? How old were you when your first experience happened?
- No, I haven't had one yet.

- Music, reading, writing.

- I never have money.

- if you had an unlimited ammount of money but could only use it for buying ONE thing, what would you buy? Ignore resell value.
- I would buy a government.

- do you smoke or drink alcoholic substances? Have you ever tried any drugs? Do you use drugs?
- I don't smoke, nor drink, nor take drugs.

- do you play any instruments? Which ones?
- I play acoustic guitar and keyboards.

- are you in a band? What is your band’s style? What’s its name?
- Yeah, I have a cover band called "Burger Kings Of Metal" and I want to build a Black Metal band.

I like them with Al Barr and without him. Although The Gang's All Here is quite plain CD, Sing Loud Sing Proud is a very good one, I like it a lot, and the live cd is very good shit. I didn't enjoy Blackout, indeed. I like his voice! and I like the folkish thing around their music.

Barroom Hero forever!!!
