Fantastic!!! So apt!

I definitely have the habit of being a grammar Nazi!

This is completely different to what I usually listen to, but is nevertheless fantastic!

I agree! I am no expert but, what attracted me to both classical music and heavy metal were aspects like a rapid change in tempo and all the unexpected twists and turns within a composition. I really love heavy metal songs with complex and unexpected chord progressions. You never know what's going to happen next, while listening! Both genres of music really relax my mind and help me de-stress! I think you'll like this meme

Not one of her favorites...

Seems pretty legit! From a personal perspective, I love listening to composers such as Beethoven, Chopin and Tchaikovsky but at the same time, I need my fix of bands such as Metallica, Tool, Nirvana and Motörhead! Classical Music Lovers and Metal Fans Have Surprisingly Similar Personalities If you love listening to classical music, it seems that you may have similar personality traits with metal fans. Although classical music and heavy metal seem like they couldn’t be further apart musically, new research shows that fans of these genres are actually quite similar in their psychological profiles and that the two aren’t actually that dissimilar at all. Adrian North conducted a study alongside fellow researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland of 36,000 people from six different countries. The results were pretty interesting – both metal and classical music fans were found to be creative, gentle people who seemed at ease with themselves. A number of other traits were found to be similar in both groups of fans, which can be explained by many reasons. North explained the similarities when speaking to the BBC, These personality traits allow users to not conform to traditional mainstream music since they have more open minds than their mainstream-loving counterparts. Other findings were quite interesting and create new stereotypes for music lovers. Low-income individuals were found to enjoy more relaxing, peaceful music whereas the higher-earning people preferred energetic, punchy music. Jazz fans were generally found to be creative and extroverted with high self-esteem, whereas fans of country music were found to be introverted and very hard working. Soul lovers were gentle, confident and at ease with themselves, whereas rap fans were outgoing and occasionally rough. Finally, the most negative of the genres was the indie group, who were found to lack both self-esteem and a work ethic. Further studies, such as one carried out by Viren Swami, psychologist at the University of Westminster, found that people who listen to metal music have a general openness to new experiences which can be driven by a desire to be unique, not dissimilar to those listening to classical music. Aside from the fact that the fans are similar, both music genres are similar in the ways in which they perform music. Both are highly theatrical and have enormous dynamics, attracting a certain kind of listener. Whilst this research opens up many more questions about genres of music, I think one of the main lessons we should take away from this research is not to stereotype anybody due to their musical tastes because we may not be that different after all.

Thanks for posting this! This news is affecting me quite deeply, as I grew up listening to The Cranberries.

Absolutely gutted! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/news/dolores-oriordan-singer-cranberries-has-died-aged-46/

I love Chopin! Classical music is one of my favourite genres! It is unbelievable how relaxing it can be. I was listening to Mozart at work the other day and it really lowered my stress levels and I was enjoying the music and tasks at hand!

Corny but nonetheless, funny!

Been on a classic music and heavy metal kick lately. The story continues

Finally found 10,000 Days at a decent price! Some of the prices were just outrageous! I love music but as a consumer, I absolutely hate being exploited. Just placed the order today and I cannot wait to receive it! This is my favourite Tool album, to date, followed by Undertow. Cannot wait to see what 2018 holds.

I am going to be optimistic about this. You never know!

With 10,000 Days blowing my fuckin' mind, I certainly hope that the news is true!! : http://loudwire.com/danny-carey-new-tool-album-definitely-2018/ http://loudwire.com/tool-danny-carey-new-tracks-long-too-long/

In times of trouble, I turn to this guy
