Been a diehard since 1982.
Never wavered.
Own over 4,000 CDs and 700 music DVDs.
On Wednesday I went to a concert featuring Decapitated (didn't make it over the border

), Soilwork and Soulfly. Was awesome.
Tonight I bought the newest live U.D.O. CD/DVD.
Each and every week I purchase anywhere from two to 10 discs.
My favourite bands are: Rush (my first musical love), Annihilator, Pagan's Mind, Decapitated, Fates Warning, Meshuggah, Emperor, Ratt, Monstrosity, Maiden, Priest, In Flames, Iced Earth, (old) Queensryche (new one with the new singer is quite good!), Accept, Pantera, Death, Night Ranger, Winger, Morbid Angel, Obscura, Slayer, Gojira, Dio, etc., etc., etc.
I literally could list DOZENS of other bands, too.
I have one room in my condo dedicated to all my CDs and paraphernalia.
I love quality bands in all substyles of metal. Trad., thrash, power, black (mostly the initial second-wave Norwegian groups, though), death (own HUNDREDS of classic and contemporary albums), hard rock, pop (hair), speed, progressive, etc.
Metal is the blood that flows in my veins.
