I actually think Greg was born in 1987. ;D
You got it!

Not to mention the artist who got me into music in the first place got famous for an album he released in 1987- i wouldn't be surprised if it was the first album I listened to all the way through, from beginning to end, by myself..... voluntarily.

I love it too much. When I say "Metal", though, I include alot of Wagner, Beethoven's symphonies (1st movement of the Eroica...Metal baybeee!), Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Mozart's Requiem and Don Giovanni, etc.

Shouldn't it really be the other way around? Classical existed long before metal. So metal is actually classical!

Well, I'm not sure how to say this but my friends and I spent many a year in the underground scene - first hardcore then metal (back in the day I mean, early/mid 80s)...

...ran the gamut of all the coolest bands, attended as many concerts as possible in whatever decrepit dump would bother to build a stage and let bands perform there before the fire marshal condemned the place, watched the skinheads turn a thriving scene into a war zone, talked to Bad Brains' lead singer in the men's restroom while he preached about Jah, roadied/ran lights for my friends who had the coolest hardcore then metal bands that never made it, smoked/swallowed/snorted just about everything I could get my hands on, together with my friends built the most awesome skateboard halfpipe with specs from Thrasher with wood/materials stolen from all corners of our immediate area (and later got a writeup in Thrasher!), watched the hardcore scene - and several of the bands in it (Agnostic Front, Corrosion Of Conformity) - morph into that hardcore/metal hybrid scene for awhile until metal eventually won out, cried as my favorite metal band - Fates Warning - never achieved the fame that was due them (on par with Metallica, I mean) all the while looking on in disgust as Metal Church totally sold out on their second album, hoping for the return of Poison Idea to the throne of hardcore while Social Unrest just couldn't keep it together for a repeat of "Rat In A Maze", and Trouble sped up to 45rpm (on LP) sounded almost as cool as regular 33rpm (those guys took slow to new...slows...but wow!!)...

...but...

...despite all this, despite all the energy, raw power, excitement, and adrenalin of that whirlwind time, NOTHING comes close to the sheer hypnosis/catharsis/draining power that is classical music.     

All I need now is to find a men's restroom and start preaching...

Dude. You rule.

And it was a horrible shame about Metal Church, such a mega-promising debut.

I believe the future will be more kind to Fates Warning.
