Country music vs. Heavy metal

The other day I was showing Oldest this video about “why country music was awful in 2013”

Watching this again, I realized there’s a key difference between country music and heavy metal.

With country music, it’s agrarian. Time is relative to when the moon comes up and the sun goes down.

With heavy metal, it’s technical and precise.

2 Minutes To Midnight

with “10 Seconds to Love” (NSFW)

Although sometimes it might be a little more vague, because we’re “Livin’ After Midnight”

or just waiting for the “Witching Hour”

Then there’s rap music.

#19 – Metallica – Metallica

Another dispute with this list. While I understand the old school fans wanting to hate on this album, this was the album that broke Metallica into the big time (well, Justice with their video for “One” started the ball rolling). But without question this was Metallica’s big commercial breakthrough, and the Metallica we loved (Cliff, R.I.P.) was gone in favor of shorter, more radio-friendly songs. I won’t fault the band tho, because we all crave that level of success, and there’s no question it solidified Metallica’s place as one of the biggest rock (née metal) acts ever. For that historical significance, I think this album should place higher.

Say what you will about the album, “Sad But True” is a cool tune.
