Aside from
Black Metal are there any bands or singers that you absolutely adore that you
may not want people to know about? Come on, you can tell me…
Again, this would take ages to fully flesh out so
we're going with a quick answer. Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Johnny Cash, folk music,
Wagner, Holst, old school punk, 80s Goth rock, and Alice Cooper.
Is there any current situation in Fashion, Art or Politics

 As
children, we often dream of being rock stars. Do you remember the age you were
when you decided this is what you wanted to be?
Well, I'm sure none of us consider ourselves to be
rock stars. We do this because we love the music we create and playing it for
other people. We also get to drink beer, socialize, philosophize, and enjoy
life; this is pretty much what it's all about. |
