An interesting note about Metallica is that in their early days, they were actually not into any really bad stuff. Sure, they drank lots of beer, but that was about it.
Their lead singer started drinking more heavily shortly after their bass player died in an accident, when their tour bus flipped over from a patch of ice. When that happened, their music changed drastically, and many fans complained about the new style.
After years of heavy drinking and substance abuse, he went to a rehab facility and turned his life around, and they’re making better music than they have in years. Not everyone who likes metal follows that “lifestyle”.
I’d love to have some Jewish metal to listen to – and not that trash Metallish, which was just Jewish songs played with electric guitar. I mean real thrash metal, with Jewish lyrics.
