I would love to say that any metal is good metal but that's not always true. It is for the most part though. For a kid born in the 90s, I'm very much of an old school metalhead. The first metal band I ever really listened to was Sabbath. I loved it and it just kind of all spiraled from there. I love all the old school stuff but I love new school just as much. In general, I'll take unique and creative over straight ahead but I do make exceptions (OSDM).
