I'd like to meet:
Wait a minute... who haven't I met yet that I would like to? Hmmmm, Finntroll (wait, now met 'em on Oct 4, 2007, woot! Thanks Erin)... Keith Urban... Jeff Scott Soto (wait, now met him on Sept 25, 2007, woot! Thanks Kyle)... Adriano Moraes... okay I'm at a loss. I'll add more later. :p Ohhhhhhhhhhh you mean who would I like to meet on HERE?! Why the hell didn't you say so! I'd still like to meet the above mentioned. :p
But seriously (is that possible?!), anyone who loves death/melodic death/thrash/power/progressive/doom/traditional/viking metal, hard/heavy rock music, 80s bands, modern rock, classic rock, people who love concerts, love travelling and/or love photography. People who like to promote bands, as I do myself. I just love meeting people so I can learn about their heritages and be exposed to things that I may not see in my own life.
Music:
Jeez you really want me to name my favourite bands? We'd be here for the next 5 years! Thrash, Black Metal, Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, Doom, Power Metal, Traditional, Gothic, Viking Metal, Bluegrass, Country, Swing, Big Band, Oldies, Modern Rock and so on. And give me anything from the 80s and I'm happy! I'm just one of those weird metalheads who doesn't like only metal. I have a very large music collection - about 5000 cds, 1700 cassettes and 900 lps.If you want to check out the majority of my collection, CLICK HERE .Here's a list of just a few of the bands I love:
