Metal, huh? the old NY Times Jazz Critic, Ben Ratliff, was also in love with Metal, said the most interesting music came from that genre (not counting jazz, of course). I'd be curious about specific album recommendations myself, always interested in something new. My younger daughter is into punk/metal/punk-pop, I've gone to see some bands with her, Breaking Benjamin is one that comes to mind, some others as well. They all seem to love these screamo vocals, which I just don't get (if you guys are not young, I'm ancient, but that's another story).
Read some article a while back about how the brains of people who like metal and classical are the same in many ways. I can PM you a list, I maintain one. My favorite genres are Atmospheric Black Metal, Black Metal, Doom, Stoner, Sludge, Death, Blackened Death, Blackened Doom, Sludge Doom, Epic/Symphonic Black, Folk Black, Doom Death and Shoegaze Black. Metal has it's roots in blues.
Thanks, @Ike1985, that would be great (I'm 63, went with my 18 year old to All Time Low, Breaking Benjamin, Weezer, Skillet, and some other bands, who I guess aren't metal, but have some metallic influences to them-not Weezer, I just like them).

When I was a kid it was all Christian music. DC Talk, Jars of Clay, etc...
Now I listen to all everything, but mostly the all the greats I missed out on in my teens: Rock from the 60s and 70s.
I'll tell you, listening to Marylin Manson makes me feel ever so naughty.

Manson is way more talented than he gets credit for.

So beautiful described and I know I absolutely did spend my teen years immersed in music magazines, moldy hole in the wall record stores, going to every live show within a 5 hour drive and standing in the rain for hours to get in to see a band they love cramped into a tiny club with terrible sound properties and I don't regret a single minute (not even the ones in that rain) of all these 'musical adventures'
Yep...''On the Beach'' is a classic and also my favourite NY album

Not that long ago, Neil Young was on a PBS tribute to Bruce Springsteen. You know, he out energized, out-punked, out-intensed, every other artist there at the tribute. Pretty amazing!

Anecdote:
This afternoon I visited a school where my oldest son (11 years) is supposed to go next year, for a classroom tour. I had to take my youngest too, who is only 5, but absolutely crazy about music and I'm not talking about kids stuff here. He loves the Beatles, Stones, Bowie, Marley, etc. and this started already last year. I'm still pretty amazed about it as I don't have the feeling that I'm pushing him that way at all and I remember that I didn't have the slightest interest in music at that age.
When he saw a drumkit in a music room he immediately ran to it, took place and started hitting that kit like crazy
Well gentlemen, I think I saw the reincarnation of Keith Moon and the future of rock there at that same moment

To those in praise of Zeus, have you actually spent time with one? It's a good product from a marketing perspective (just think, nearly everyone here thinks it will be #1, but they're I would assume mostly blind listeners).
The Zeus was not my cup of tea at all, personally.

LOL, I guess the 'Buddha' variant though I'm not sure they'll appreciate the classification
Lol. Well, let's just say, the type of Indians from the land, that Columbus was originally intending to find..

Yep, I've spent a lot of listening hours over the past 2 weeks (just got it) with Zeus XR (non Adel). And I must say that I was surpised when I saw that you wrote this in 'the other thread': It sounds like a poorly amped HD800. Not my signature. Too cold and revealing and no bass. Andromeda is superior if you want treble detail and air. It even has more bass!
Now, I haven't heard the Andromeda, but I've auditioned the HD800 (ended up with the HD700) multiple times (mainly well amped) and I just don't understand your experience. Sure, Zeus is no ''bass monster'' but imo the bass is very well implemented and not bad at all. I like the Zeus....a lot!
It doesn't have a warm signature indeed, but its imaging, resolution, soundstage etc. is off the charts imo.
Are you sure you had a good seal when you auditioned the Zeus?

Ye
Maybe it was simply too cold for me. The soundstage was great, but I thought the Encore had better layering. The ZeusR was too flat for me, but the XIV had great mids and soundstage but for me at the expense of other tonality I prefer. I had in comply tips and got a good seal.
Have you heard u18? For me I preferred that presentation. I'd be curious your comparisons between the two.
