Well Teddy Boy(that's gonna be my nickname for you if it's the last thing i do!! It WILL stick!!), I think i've explained my position before here many, many times, but for those who've missed it, i'll say it again.
In my early preteen days, i went through a phase where i listened to anything and everything, to find my niche, what moved me. I had just moved away from rap music, something i enjoyed for years, but it got old and i needed to move on. And along the way, i found some songs that i still enjoy immensely to this day, from many genres, but i couldn't find a genre or band in general that got me going. That's when i discovered classic rock, 70's and 80's punk and most importantly......METAL. That got me going, that had my hairs stand on end, that gave me the urge to get up and move, that hit the part of the brain that tells, "hey! I really, really like this!", It all hit me more than any other genre i had experimented with previously. I had found my niche. I still love classic rock and some old school punk to this day, but the genre that hit me hardest and still does today is METAL. That's my number one and always will be.
As for WHY i love it...i couldn't tell ya, brother. It just does. SOMETHING about it hits me HARD. The power, the energy, i don't know, but whatever it is, i love it, i live for it, i can't get enough of it, and i always want more of it. So, i've explored the wide world of music, and it just comes down to the fact that i stick with what moves me most, what i never get tired of. That's it. It's a passion that will never die. I will always live for the Deep Purples, UFOs, Thin Lizzys, Yardbirds, Black Sabbaths, Judas Priests, Overkills, Kreators, Bad Brains, Fears and Misfits of the world.
And i will always respect you and admire you Teddy Boy, for having an eclectic taste in music. If that's what you're into, more power to ya, stay true to yourself. That's all i'm doing.
