I'm a music fanatic. I love most music. I play a few instruments. I've composed music. Metal is my favorite genre, especially if it is metal that sounds different than what I've heard before. I like all kinds of music though. I am pretty eclectic. I don't buy and listen to POP music by choice, though I don't dislike it. Most of it just doesn't do anything for me. Yet, I still enjoy watching shows like The Voice, etc. I can watch musicians perform music I don't particularly care for and still enjoy it. I don't get that form of feedback from music I don't care for if I can't at least watch them.

So now you see why I take such an interest. I'd be interested in any musician doing things on steemit, but I am very fond of Metal.

The bands I am currently listening to the most Opeth, Nevermore, Haken, Fates Warning, Arch / Matheos, Psycroptic, Dream Theater, Twelve Foot Ninjas, etc.

I tend to go full on Prog Metal like Dream Theater when I want to see people perform something I could never perform myself. Kind of like watching an Olympic athlete. Yet, skill is not everything. Composition, Emotion, and just the overall feel can be equally important.

I listen to a lot of Non-Metal stuff too. I don't much care for RAP (old school), though some HIP HOP (if there is something musically interesting behind it) doesn't bother me. I really only have one type of music I hate. It is a POLISH form of Techno I was exposed to that literally is a bass drum beating basically a half note per measure, same note, no rhythmic variance, and once every 12 or so measures it might suddenly do a little melody on keyboard, accordion, etc that lasts about one measure. Short of that one melodic measure I could probably train my dog to play the rest of it. I DO NOT dislike Techno. I DO dislike that particular variant A LOT.

So that is more than you may have wanted to know... but at least now you know why you have my interest. My friend @kidsysco who is also on here is a bit of a music nut too. Though he does like RAP. So for RAP people that feel like I'm leaving them out, I have a friend that can pick up where I left off and handle the RAP side of things.
