"Few musical genres can inspire the loyalty in its listeners that metal does. For dyed in the wool fans of the heavy stuff, metal isn't just a sprawling format, it's a lifestyle, complete with a dress code, a set of principles, and an outlook on the world. The other side of the coin, of course, is that many people find themselves totally opposed to metal and all that it stands for. They dismiss it as nought but noise, find the big hitters like Metallica and Maiden laughable and anachronistic.
Well, as with most things in life, things don't need to be nearly so black and white."
