Music Fans- You are the annoyance

The other day, I got yelled at by a slayer fan because I am a fan of metal, and I don't like slayer's music. I listened to it many times, but it's just not for me. He then asked what I listened to which is Syphony X, Dream Theater, Nightwish, Blind Guardian and many other bands and artists. He then called me a "Fucking metal pussy faggot". Which I found it funny as hell that anyone would be dumb enough to say something that ridiculous. He then said I wasn't a true fan of metal.

People like that are great to listen to, but annoying at the same time.

Haha, would this be Big Jake? The guy with the Slayer hat and the Misfits tattoo on his ankle? He can be such a douche sometimes. He walked by me once when I was wearing a Metallica shirt (which is all the time) and said "Metallica was cool once, but you should listen to Slayer."

Got news for ya pal, Slayer was cool once too. Now they're not.

Anyways, I guess I could have been classified as "obsessive" a few years back. I used to listen to NOTHING but old Metallica, and thought everyting else including Metallica's newer stuff was shit. Now since I've been hanging out with my friend Dan alot, who is very musically open minded, I've been introduced to alot of new bands and styles such as: The Black Crowes, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Gary Moore (AWESOME guitarist), and the list goes on and on. Obviously I had HEARD of these bands and artists before and some of their music, but in the past I had either been quick to dismiss them or not really sat down and listened to their music. Now I'm just glad I have a much better understanding and appreciation for them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
