I find it amusing at how people arrive to my site. A lot of it is referrals, so seeing those referrals are incredibly interesting. Back in the day, I used to get people coming to my site wanting to know Anthony Kiedis’ phone number. This didn’t just happen once, but multiple times over a period of months. Then I got ‘Anthony Kiedis + home address’ which I thought was so fucking psycho that I removed any blogs about the Red Hot Chili Peppers on my old blog. Scary. But nowadays, the referrals are not as scary these days, but interesting all the same. People have come to my website by asking a question in their search engine and I’m afraid I was never able to give them the answers they wanted. But now, I give you the answers to the last few questions people have typed in their search engine and come to my site looking for these answers.
What is a good metal band for those who don’t like metal?
My friend, I am afraid that there is no way to get people into metal by giving them an album if they don’t like it in the first place. This is a tough tactic and rarely works. Liking metal is like being ready to love yourself or lose weight – you have to be ready to do it yourself, no one can make you. Sounds so sweet, doesn’t it?
However, I have been guilty of handing over “Damnation” by Opeth to my non metal friends so they can understand that metal isn’t just about screaming and power-chords.
My advice is to give them something easy listening and then slowly start to guide them away from the safety of the shallow end of their music tastes into the deep dark waters of metal. (Textual exaggeration can be fun).
Why are women so bitchy?
It’s because we are insecure. Women are the most insecure creatures on the planet. We’re vulnerable and we try to hide our vulnerability by stepping up to “the man” because maybe we can’t do it any other way. Honestly, I think because of insecurities such as thinking people have to love us and we have to be perfect, we start becoming jealous and crazy over people who are and don’t give two shits about other women. Yes, sometimes even our girlfriends, which sucks.
Why am i so bitchy?
I don’t know but you should stop it before someone bitch slaps you.
What happens to your brain when you listen to metal?
I don’t know. But it doesn’t make you a psycho. And it doesn’t make you want to kill small children. So then… it must be good!
What is an internal customer?
Anyone inside the business you work in who you are providing work for.
Why isn’t metal music on the radio?
Simply because metal does not appeal to the masses – “masses” are generally people who don’t want to think about anything too much. They don’t think that there is money in metal because people don’t buy it. It’s really a cycle. People don’t buy it because they don’t know what’s out there, and they don’t know what’s out there because they’re not being told. Plus, there are stations that do play metal but you’re better off looking in the world wide webiverse for that.
