17:47 - tintinb He may like the occasional linkin park or nirvana number, but for him to really savour the intricacies of a tech death song or generally thrashing out to thrash will be asking a bit too much. I would love to be corrected though.
17:45 - tintinb I mean, if someone is above a certain age, say in the range of 25 and above, and has been listening to mostly other sort of music till now, the chances of him being converted into a fully fledged metalhead would be pretty slim.
17:42 - tintinb I also believe that most of us metal fans had some sort of external influence in our initial years of listening to this music. Maybe a friend introduced it to us, maybe a brother or dad was listening to it.
