It's been a long time since I lived in Michigan, but I did grow up there for 18 to 20 years of my life. It does feel my home state.
Even when metal was on the radio, it was always the watered down stuff. There were only a couple real metal bands - Metallica is one - that broke through.
Interview With a Vampire' is one of my favorite movies of all time. 'Queen of the Damned,' not so much one of my favorite movies, but it's one of the best soundtracks of all time.
I like Journey, Bad Company, Soundgarden and Aerosmith.
Anyone who likes Static-X will definitely like my solo record.
Don't even get me started about how much I hate the Internet, 'cause I'll rant for hours about this.
