   Me, a Metal head? How can THAT be???
It's true. You seriously can't tell by looking at me BUT I've completely fallen in love with the metal band, Metallica. THAT even surprised myself!

I never listened to Metallica before UNTIL I listened to Apokalyptica -- a Finnish Cello quartet who arranged and performed Metallica songs via nothing but Celli!!! THIS group is awesome. With just 4 Celli, they were able to imitate electric guitars, drums and a human voice. I HIGHLY encourage you all to give Apokalyptica a try. The music is a very unique approach to Metallica--it adds a touch of classiness to the Metal *^^* and makes it sound like something from the Fantasy genre.

But yes, I NOW enjoy listening to the original Metallica in additional to it's classical counterpart *^^* And it's pretty good. With Metallica it's not just senseless electric guitar and drums--their combined melody and harmony is quite good.

Examples [these songs aren't as fast, instead it's more dramatic and VERY good]:
Metallica - Unforgiven
Metallica -Nothing Else Matters

But you know what I think? I think that it's the fast-paced rhythm of the music that I enjoy a bit more. The fastness of it all is GREAT when I study for an exam AND especially to listen to BEFORE and exam *^^*

Examples [these songs are pretty fast & excellent for head banging *^^*]:
Metallica - Enter the Sandman
Metallica - Sad but True
Metallica - Wherever I may Roam
Metallica - Holier than Thou

Which is my favorite song? I can't really tell. ^^;; I SO need to go out and to listen to some of their OTHER albums. Most of the songs that I am listening now are from the Black Out [i think, or Fade to Black--something like that ^^;;] album.

Yeah. Let's just say that my musical tastes are ECLECTIC ^^;; I enjoy a bit of everything.

What about you guys???
