I don't personally like metal but I appreciate it a lot, and know it's not just a wall of sound. You really must catch Ralph Fiennes performing Satan to Iron Maiden turned up to 11 in The Bone Temple.
I am very familiar with that Gorillaz track... Bless em. Loved that album when it came out and we all listened to it a lot.
Bluegrass is awesome. I love a good Bluegrass festival and old timey/folk, which can have a different feel whether it's UK, Australia or the US.
There still are some wonderful folk out there doing original, inspired music. Why they're being drowned out by AI slop I don't know. Fake seems to sell. Anyone who actually choses to listen to that shit is a certifiable idiot
