heavy metal machine

there is something curious about my music preferences. most people i know tend to think that i'm all for metal. okay, i often dress in black, with steel-toe boots and all that. all right, i love a good mosh, and i like metal (or rather heavy music) quite a lot. and the fact that i wake up every morning with my computer playing slipknot, slayer, sepultura and pantera doesn't really help my reputation. and i assume that one of the best gigs i've ever seen in my entire life was slayer - boy, that was insane, to say the least. yet my favourite bands have little to do with metal. as a matter of fact, the only metal band i've ever considered my favourite band was system of a down, and even though their sound is definetely heavy, it's a bit off metal). if i go all the way back, the bands i've once considered my favourites were oasis, smashing pumpkins, and muse (with radiohead always around).

still, i kinda like the metal stereotype. it is funny, to be honest.
