It’s funny how every metal album I listen to now sounds like rock to me. Have you ever been to the metal music store at The Wall? I always wonder where the cool people are who still buy all that stuff.
I also lean more towards the Pantera, Sepultura and Guns 'n Roses side of things. What about Alice in Chains? What genre do they fall in?
Come out to The Wall tonight. They have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame going with various heavy bands playing tribute to rocker Taiwan band, Assassin. And Assassin will be playing too.

Alice are back on the road.
I saw them on tour with Layne on vocals, he had the perfect voice for AIC.
I try to avoid putting music into “Oh, this is rock, that’s metal.” boxes. The AIC sits quite happily next to the Beatles, Metal Church, Anthrax and Floyd. Which in turn sits happily next to Roy Harper, Mozart and Zappa…
It ain’t what you call it that matters. It’s all just great music.
I love ‘Opiate’ as well. Tool were, and still are, so innovative, melodic, and damn heavy.
I saw them live at the Lollapalooza side stage, I think it was ‘92, before they had made it big. There were only about 50 people watching them, I sat on the grass right in front of center stage. I was trippin’, and I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, it was amazing.
