i was a big metal head, it's all i listened too.
i used to hear the occasional commercial trance song and think it was good, but i kept on saying to myself "i dont like it, fkn doof doof music". it was like i was affraid to like trance, since all my mates were into metal just as much as i was, i probably thought they would think of me as weird.. anyway, i finally accepted it. i went out and bought my first hard-trance cd (hard nrg vol.2 when it came out) and fkn loved it!! a fair while after i went to two tribes 2002, dropped a pill.. and had the best night of my life :D jeff mills played THE best set ive ever fucking heard, ever.
anyway, hard-trance and trance is basically all i listen to these days.. i occasionally listen to a bit of old skool korn and deftones (went to the deftones concert a little while ago, was sick!), but i get more outta trance these days, which isnt a bad thing at all, i loveeeeee trance so much :D
