Not screamo/emo, but metal. And I LOVE it.

Seen them live a few years ago. They were great.

I'm not a fan. I'd say it's kinda similar to Attack Attack, but it's tolerable, whereas Attack Attack is atrocious.

Nmind ill pass.

What are your guilty pleasures, rudester?

Stabbing Westward. Not sure if I'm guilty about it or not. It's pretty good. I guess I don't feel too guilty about it.

God there are a tonne of them.

The Cobra Soundtrack.
The Mortal Kombat Soundtrack.
Metallica. Silverchair. Guns and Roses. Joe Satriani's Surfing with the Alien.
80's theme tunes. Tears for Fears.
Videogame tunes. StreetFighter. Herzog Zwei. Streets of Rage.
Cartoon intros of the 90's. Thundercats. Turtles. Ironman. Lots of Anime intros.
And the creme de la creme Italian horror film themes.... they blow everything apart.

Why is Metallica a guilty pleasure for you?

Alot of their songs are super cheese.
Music I would listen to alone or with particular like minded people while drinking.

The Cocteau Twins, I love this group, and the music is awesome, brilliant, and filled with genius. However once my mother came by while I was listening to it, and the second that she heard Elizabeth Frasier's voice, she went and placed a title on it. She said that it was "Pretty". Now I can admit that some of the stuff is a bit fluffy, but for those few who can enjoy the subtle intricacies of music like I do, they will find themselves canceling out the singing, and zone in on the way this group composes sounds.

"Cheesy"? That is blasphemy. You take it back. Metallica is completely guilt free (aside from a song or two on Re-Load that sounds kind of country twangy). "Cheesy" is not the right word to describe Metallica. To this day their shit still f*cking rules. It has stood the test of time. And just because you would only listen to it with certain people doesn't mean it's a guilty pleasure. Guilty pleasure is more like something that you only listen to alone. No self-respecting male should be ashamed of liking Metallica.. lol

There is nothing wrong with cheese. A large portion of my soul lives for it. And I never said I was ashamed of liking Metallica. I love em, they rock, they're cheesy, that's why they are a guilty pleasure.

Just out of curiosity, what is an example of a "cheesy" Metallica song? (if you don't mind my asking). I'm not even sure "cheesy" has a definitive definition, heh... but anyway..
