Anyone know why people who listen to metal are given a hard time?

and then their are metal bands that CAN do justice to classics.

Just so you know I'm not biased....I'm not a big fan of modern metal anymore.

Oh, I agree. I love the Type O Negative cover of "Cinnamon Girl"

And their cover of "Summer Breeze", a song I normally just can't stand, is really "creative". I love it.

I agree with composer John Cage on this: "Music is the silence between the notes".

That silence is where the magic of music happens, and I feel that the Metal genre is all about stomping out that silence, filling every song with as much noise as possible, defeating any possibility of music.

I'm certain in young college days, under the proper influence, I could have appreciated metal if given the opportunity, but today I simply cannot.
