I always was and alway will be a metal fan.
I'm particularly love what they call Folk Metal, bands like Alestorm, Metsatöll, Mägo de Oz, such a happy mood, alway good to drink with. ahhaha

Some people use to say that metal is uncreative and all that sh*t. You just listened to the right bands bro.
Just like there's great and crap bands and prog, there's great and crap bands in metal too.
I use to list black metal into the crap ones, such a funny genre, all that corpse paint and satan stuff.

And micky sayd everything, you don't put Genesis when you want to punch an a****le face, you put metal.

some of it is fun, but I've always found that it takes itself way to seriously.
(my exposure - my experience)
 
I love Ramstein because it's tongue in cheek .. but i'm betting it's too commercial to be considered metal these days.
I have a lot of what used to be considered metal - ACDC was metal at one point .. but 'metal' seems to keep evolving into something harder and faster, and there's so many subgenres of it
 
mostly I just think it's funny.
lots of hair, lots of noise, lots of posturing.
 
 

You've never heard bands like Psychostick. They are my friends because they have songs about DOGS!!!!



And don't stop there! It's time for the NEKROGOBLIKON!!!

Used to be a huge metal fan.  My 'problem' was I liked and always will like lots of other music and I eventually got sick of some of my metal loving friends berating my preferences in music just because some of the bands I liked weren't metal.  Also, the almost assembly-line uniformity in a lot of metal which makes it hard to drill down to the albums that are interesting, more so because the fans seem to seek out more metal that is like metal they already have.  Staying metal matters more than creativity.  Whatever.  Got sick of the posturing eventually.

But I still love blasting some of my favourite metal albums from time to time.  There's nothing like some magnificent crushing metal riffage to get the adrenaline pumping.

I love many different kinds of metal when I'm in the mood, although I can't call my myself all that well informed about metal, I know I've only scratched the surface.  I've tried to listen to a wide variety and write about some of these bands from the view of a relative newbie.  I've been pleasantly surprised.  As to the debate about metal's validity in the "prog scene", I couldn't care less.  I'm only here for love of music, not whether something is "progressive" or not.
