Subject: My bosses found out i'm a metalhead!!! Wed Feb 11, 2009 8:53 am
I was off to a meeting today with my tough serious looking bosses. We were in my car. Since it was long drive, One of them turned the radio on, hoping to enjoy some calm ballad song. Instead, he was punched in the face by Sepultura's beneath the remains. They were like : no way, don't tell us...You don't look like "one of them"...
They were eager to learn about this music and an hour later, they were amusingly listening to ac/dc's razor's edge.

AC/DC are good to start with. Enjoyable and smooth. Maybe next time, i'll give them a rawer taste...Something like Rage's perfect man or execution garanteed.

Reminds me of that car commercial (i can't remember which one) when the guy is the car with some suit and tie bosses and they reach over and turn on the radio and get blasted with some extreme metal. It was on a few years back but I can't for the life of me remember what it was for.

I like a lot of there songs, but feel they are way overrated and one dimensional.

Be careful gilbert I remember you once mentioned cryptically that metal is forbidden in your country, if you are not careful the anti metal police will come around to your home after midnight and drag you to the hoosegow.

Guys, i don't live in Iran or Saudi Arabia! It's not an islamic regime My country is a mixture of over 17 religious confessions (i'm a catholic).
Due to the role religions play in our daily lives, the importation of metal is subject to control and our bands usually perform "underground". But it's not like there's a religious police that would come to your house and drag you.
In all cases, us metalheads prefer to keep a low profile.

on my radio show (which is on tonight) we do a segment that we call The Dumb Laws Of America and we always find the most stupid laws (of course). I know you dont live in america but if we end up running out of Dumb Laws for the US we'll be going to other countries. Now if it was really illegal to listen to Metal in some country and you were caught listening to it or attending a show and they follow you home only to drag you out of your house that would just be hillarious. Im sure that law or something similar has to be somewhere. The stupid laws I see each week are just rediculous.

I have been listening to metal at work for YEARS. Most don't care for it, but I try to either close the door or listen to it at moderate volume so as not to torture anyone. My closest coworkers know I listen to metal, but many others do not, so it's all good. They joke with me about it, but they do so in good humor.

Sounds like my work.Its usually the same 5 or 6 songs over and over again on the country stations here.Luckily I've got good speakers on my computer so I can drown them out.

My recruiting assistant listens to rap and r&b all day........ I play metal/rock/prog/punk/etc all day
My boss doesn't listen to music (she's in the office next to my). One of the other Sr Recuiters is in the office on the other side of me (he jokes I'm the boss buffer) listens to salsa all day (he's from puerto rico). His recruiting assistant listens to headphones all day, so I don't know what she plays. My Sr Recruiting Sourcing Specialist listens to everything (we went to see metallica together and he's a huge springsteen fan).
We have a wide variaty in our office.

In our main office, everyone listening to music is plugged into their i-pods or computers, so I haven't a clue as what they're listening to. Back at my work station, however, I have a nice little boom-box that plays nothing but metal. I want people to feel uncomfortable around me so they make their requests quick and leave. Occasionally I'll plug in big comfy headphones myself, but only for short stints. After an hour or so, they feel like they are crushing my head.
