Any Metal heads? :)

Hell yeah! \m/ I wake up to Seek & Destroy every morning. 80's is best but I love some of the newer stuff too.

Back in the day....

Turn it up!!!!!!!!!

No love for Mastodon, Lamb of God, High on Fire, Cult of Luna, Gojira, etc?

Just a short list of what's on my workout playlist:

Slipknot
Chimaira
Killswitch Engage
We Were Gentlemen
Suicide Silence
Sepultura
Fear Factory
All That Remains
and quite a bit more.

Gah! I forgot about Fear Factory! Love them! Sepultura is cool, too. Saw them with Ozzie and Type O. :happy:

Ministry, too. I love Ministry!

I saw Sepultura back in 2000 on the Tattoo the Earth tour. I also had a chance to meet and talk to Burton from Fear Factory a couple of times. Decent guy, takes the time to talk to fans instead of just blowing them off like some people do.

I also love Slipknot and Korn but I don't get to listen to them much anymore. Not very child appropriate.

Right there with you especially on not being child appropriate........ love some slipknot!!!!!

Meh... My kids made it to their teens without being scarred by "inappropriate language." My daughter turned out to be a rocker, likes both metal and punk. My son "appreciates" metal, but is one of those hippity-hoppers listening to that "rap music." But they are both "Unmatched, Untouched, Unscarred" by growing up with metal as a big part of their home life. :smokin: :drinker:

"Sex and drugs and rock and roll; we'll all meet down at the crossroads. Sex and drugs and rock and roll; we'll tell the devil where he can go." ~TATTOOS~TITTIES~LIPSTICK~N~WHISKEY~TWIS­TED HIPPIE CHICKS~

As an 8 year old girl my favorite movies were Rambo First Blood part II, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, and Hard to Kill. Most people would probably classify those as child inappropriate. I will admit to being severly demented, but its a good thing :devil:

I don't have kids, so I'm clearly really not qualified on this topic, but I would say if it is something you love, enjoy it with your kids and just have a talk with them about expectation while at home versus expectations while in public. Also would say KORN and several of the other bands mentioned deal with some really serious *kitten* in some of their music in a very direct way, and while those might not be discussions you want to have if your kid is five (probably won't understand most of the context at that age anyways), it could be a good thing to lead in to discussions as they grow older....

Based on some of the pits I've been in, I'd probably break the damn thing.

Me.

LOL! I thought I was the only one to run and train to thrash metal! I listen to meal bands from my home country mostly

I'm into black metal and Satanic death metal (e.g. pre-millenium Morbid Angel, Immolation etc., no silly blood & guts stuff) and am actually something of an élitist, so much so that I not only felt compelled to accent the 'e', but have actually run into trouble on /r/blackmetal for my strenuous objections to the hipster coöptation of aforementioned art form. Nonetheless, as this is the last place it would occur to me to even discuss music, please feel free to add me; not only will you find my status updates interesting and inspiring, I'm wearing a Mayhem shirt in my profile picture to boot, in a work I like to call 'Monday Morning Mayhem'…

Yeah, when they are little, they don't understand any of it really. It was "Mom's music" that makes her dance silly. :laugh:

We have had TONS of conversations over the years with the kiddos on behavior/expectations at home versus in public. They are awesome kids. We definitely raised them a little differently, but it works for us. :smokin:

I love metal. Pitbulls in the Nursery, Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, All Shall Perish, Hatebreed, Nightwish, My Dying Bride, Gojira..

Death, Progressive, Thrash, Doom, Love it all.
( Cept a lot of that new age core stuff )


METAL-HEADS UNITE!!!

I have a 2.5 year old and don't listen to metal with her. The main reason I don't is due to the fact that she's ALL about the Wheels on the Bus and If You're Happy and You Know It. She also likes Kings of Leon, Florence and the Machine, and Irish drinking songs, so, she's still cool, in my book.

However, the last thing I want to do is explain the lyrics of "Good Friends and a Bottle of Pills" to her (one of my favorite Pantera "songs"), and definitely won't be exposing her to Acid Bath, for a LONG time, if ever. Acid Bath helped ME deal with some bad things, in my life, but there's no reason to expose her to such dark, violent lyrics, at this point...or before she hits her late teens. (http://www.darklyrics.com/a/acidbath.html)

I can get not wanting to expose them to the dark stuff too early, innocence of youth and all that. On the other hand, sometimes you don't get that choice. I was exposed to the death of a parent a grand parent and had my puppy run over in front of me on my birthday, all in year 3. I think my dad just threw his hands up and decided the only way I wasn't going to be messed up was if he just confronted it head on. This has lead me to believe kids can deal with a lot more than parents think alot younger than parents think. Whether its GOOD to expose them or not, I wouldn't even try to say, but I don't really think it hurts them any.

Yeah, we definitely did the "Barney" and "Blue's Clues" songs and all that crap when they were still babies. I grew up in a super-religious home where I was shielded (where they *attempted* to shield me) from "Sex, drugs and rock n roll," but for me, it just led to a lot of lies and pain when I hit 18. The SHTF for real in terms of my personal life choices and my relationship with my parents. So my experiences as a daughter heavily influenced my choices as a mom. I wanted to be 100% honest with them, and to be the kind of mom where they never felt inclined to lie to me, or to run off and hide for fear of disapproval or guilt/shame over their life choices.

It may not be the right choice for other parents, but my kids are in high school and honor roll students, in spite of having a "twisted hippie chick" for a mom.

Am achieving a dream in July- Iron Maiden and Metallica in one weekend! Heaven!

I listen to Aerosmith and Guns-N-Roses doing cardio.
