What do your parents think of metal?

Heh, people have said metal is the reason I don't have a girlfriend, either.

Metal is half the reason I have the greatest woman in the universe...so do not listen to this. But at the same time don't think it won't attract losers, too.

One time, I was giving my mom a ride somewhere and listening to Ozzy's tribute,a dn I told her about randy Rhoads:

The one comment she made, was she said:

"You can really hear the classical music in these songs." My mom may not love it, but I think she understands it.

A few weeks ago at my brother's wedding, the dj played "You Shook Me All Night Long". My mom (slightly tipsy) leans over to me and says "AC/DC, right?" I said "Yup.". She then looks over to my aunt and says loudly "I knew it who it was. I'm so hip!!"

I just laughed. Yea mom, you're the coolest.

Dad loves priest,def leppard, and headpins all those other awesome bands. Some of my stuff he's not so fond about but at least he'll give it a shot.

As for my mother she likes metallica, and thats about it. My parents are divorced to so.

I guess they don't like It, but I'll never ask 'em....

My dad is a classic rock Led Zepplin, Van Halen sort of guy so he can get into some of it except for lyrics on most the stuff I listen to. My mom actually kind of took on the whole punk stuff in the ninties like the Offspring, Fugazi, some other stuff like that. I loved both parents musical taste. I think that is why I pretty much like everything exept power metal (maybe I just havn't been exposed to good, but dragonforce is way to over the top for me), country music, and Rap.

My mom never was really into it, the hardest she ever got was petra, shes really into reggae. My dad on the other hand, was into Maiden, montrose, Savatage, Gamma ray, etc when I was just a little guy. Now he has had sort of a heavy metal chilling out. Get this though, the 3 bands that are in heavy circulation for him now are...
Ultimatum
Lightforce
Armageddon

My parents think U2 is metal.

I do have to give them credit though because while I was working out to a Nightwish DVD during their last visit, my Mom liked Tarja's vocals.

"She's a really good singer above all that other noise."

Your Mom and I agree on Nightwish. Two points for mom.

My Dad also took a shine to Candice Night. His only complaint was that I was playing the DVD too loud.

My mom would like the ballads that played in the 80's. Dad is into a little classic rock like The Eagles. They just roll their eyes at most of what I listen to.

As do most people.

No disrespect to your father, but who with a penis doesn't take a shine to Candice?

Good point. It's just heartening to know that a guy who's 78 still notices.

We actually like some of the same music like Sabaton, Silent Force and I think House of Lords. I like some melodic metal you know. I do like the growl vocals too though and I know you hate them

Well you got two out of three there ET. HoL is way too Journey-esque for me.

BTW, with my previous post.

I know you are. In fact aren't you the one who talked up Brother Firetribe awhile back? Good stuff there.

Nope. In fact that same "someone" talked them up to me so I bought it and don't like it. That "Journey-esque" thing again.

*raises hand*

1. Married (no thanks)
2. Blonde (usually not a great thing)
3. Married
4. Way too small or withery

I'm with ya on 1 and 3 (which happen to be the same) but the others?

It's that OCI warped perspective of the world again...

Oh well, at least you like Dark At Dawn.

She looks older than she is...I dislike her hands....and the hair style as well as the colour....and her face isn't really...constructed to my liking. None of the renaissance outfits she ever has look that great either. And she's much too skinny.

But other than that...

Remember, less waify blondes for me just means more for you.
