too bad I'm pretty much the only metalhead in town that still goes to school and my story on metal:
back about 2 years ago, I was into rap and alternative rock, me and dad were driving up to my grandma's house in Montana, and I had in one of my rap cds, I was falling asleep, so my dad pulled it out and put in Iron Maiden and he put it on 2 minutes to midnight. I woke up completely and thought, this music is awesome, I then went into a nu metal phase, being completely unaware that it wasn't real metal I bought about 15-20 cds over the course of one year, then I learned about real metal it pulled me in, now whenever I need to vent or concentrate or get mentally ready for anything, I put on some metal. My friend, that I recently introduced to metal, said this, "here in a few months you will be back into rap again, I guarentee it," I have not voluntarily listened to a single rap song yet
