(prompted by a tangent on another thread)
My suggestion is, for all it's macho often sexist posturing, frequently ridiculous image, infantile lyrics and promotion of general bad behaviour and immaturity:
wasn't heavy metal bloody great fun?
Great entertainment gig-wise (always value for money), usually exciting, featuring usually great musicianship...basically like a big party.
I say 'wasn't' by the way because 'metal' doesn't really exist anymore does it? seems it's been decimated by sub categories almost to the point of extinction at this stage...
So, anyone have any fond memories of gigs or metal related tales or adventures they'd like to share?
(terrified that I'm alone on this one)
