It is our duty as parents to stress the positive and make them feel good about themselves and to be proud of what the accomplish and achieve. Let it be building guitars, finish a level on a game, schoolwork and so on.Quote:

Well said Dr.Nomis. I agree whole heartedly...Metal music has saved my life a number of times before having kids, now they are one of the reasons i am still alive n kickin'. Any genre of music is always there for you to suit your mood at the time. I chose Metal since hearing Saxon, Maiden, Wasp, Slayer and Metallica back in 1986. 30 years on, it is still by my side...ONLY MUCH BIGGER !!! \m/\m/. Now i share that with my kids and Fiancee who was already a MetalHead when we met. Now i am channeling that positive energy into my University studies as i am doing a Bachelors in Music Composition and Sound Production and now building Basses.Quote:

There are a lot of good Metal bands still touring these days, one in particular has a female singer that blew me away when I heard her, the band is Arch Enemy with Angela Gossow, she really surprised me , check them out.
I should add that I'm a big fan of alot of the 80's Metal scene, since the 80's was my teen years.
Saxon and Iron Maiden are definitely two bands who were pioneers of Heavy Metal, Iron Maiden and a few other bands, like Judas Priest, started off what was called the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, which also included bands that influenced Metallica, the Big Four ( Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth), started off as a reaction to Metal bands from the LA Glam scene (Motley Crue, and their contemporaries), then we had bands like Sepultura ( from South America), who took Thrash Metal and made it heavier, eventually we ended up with the Metal bands we have today, along the way new Heavy Metal sub-genres were created, about the most extreme Metal band I have heard so far is a band called Bestial Warlust.
