Music from the PA system.

As per request, I am I doing a detailed post about my musical tastes.  Apparently a well rounded musical taste is extremely rare.

Here goes…

Growing up I listened to country music and Elvis from my grandparents.  Its not like 99.9% of the country music bull that’s out now.  I am talking about Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash, etc.  If you have the slightest bit of decent to intelligent brain cells, you know who they are.

From there, after my parents broke out of their “OMG! RELIGYUN GUD! MEWZIQUE BAD!” phase, I listened to The Beatles, AC/DC, Frank Sinatra, Kiss, Boston, Led Zeppelin, etc.  It was awesome, even though they got rid of almost all of their vinyl.  (They had awesome ones too, some of them hard to find now.  Fuck you, Baptism.  Fuck you.  Anyways…)

While I was in 5th grade and into middle school, my brother was listening to Punk.  Sex Pistols, The Offspring, Green Day, The Clash, The Ramones, etc, all became constants in the house.  At that time, I was listening to pop music.  I still have my BSB and NSYNC cds. 

Then I heard Korn at the end of my 7th grade year.  Oh my goodness.  Everything changed musically for me.  I started listening to harder things.  From there, it turned into loudness like Static-X and In Flames.

Now I listen to industrial, death/heavy metal, rock, classical, old school punk, and some other stuff.  I listen to a lot of foreign stuff more and more though.  Over here, things are starting to become generic and people are called “Sellouts” if they step out of their usual musical genre norm to try something else.  Whereas whiney boy music (Nickelback and 3 Days Grace and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) are free to dance around on the radio waves as “AWESOME!” and “NEW!”  Whoever allowed this to happen should be taken out and beaten.  Wow.  Ranted.  Sorry.  Where was I?

The foreign type bands I listen to are mostly German, Swedish, and Japanese based.  (I listen to German the most.)

All time favorites: Frank Sinatra, AC/DC, Boston, In Flames, Johann Sebastian Bach, Dir En Grey, (and newly added) Oomph!.

I am a giant metalhead.  I always will be.

I was also told to add pics.  Yeah.  Here’s a hotness monster:
