Just read the Aesthetics of Hate article and it is completely a pile of bullshit. I have a love for both metal, classic rock and classical music such as Bach. William Grim is obviously blinded by a stereotype of metal music, as are most people. His article refers to metal fans as being subhuman and unintelligent, when in fact metal fans hold both areas of an intelligence area, both being within the top 10% and bottom 10% of grade achievements.If Mr. Grim was able to get past his elitist views then he could understand this, with bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, Lamb Of God, Machine Head and Heaven Shall Burn showing that there is such a thing as "Thinking man's metal".
