Most people still think that metalheads are some crazy devil worshipers that like to perform satanic rituals in their spare time. However, it's well-known that they are a bit on the wild side. TIt's obvious since they like heavy music.
Def Leppard weren't always a sure fire hit-making machine, but even in 1992, as Grunge and Alternative music was making its' way to dominating the mainstream, you could have gotten great odds at Bet365 on the Sheffield act retaining their spot as one of rock's best-selling acts.  Everyone has their favourite music. It’s something that’s very personal, and often even forms part of our personality. When meeting new people, the question “so, what bands do you listen to” is often used as an ice breaker. Friends can spend hours sharing new songs and discussing which one is best.  Judging by the packed arenas and thousands of concerts around the globe filled with screaming fans, it’s safe to say that metal music is not just alive and well in the modern world, but it’s thriving. Music, in general, has been changing lives since the dawn of humanity, but the one genre that has truly stood apart from the rest is metal thanks to the community that’s always ready to welcome the outcasts with open arms. Metal has easily made its way into our hearts, but its influence doesn’t stop there. Here’s how metal’s affected these next industries.
The end of 2015 was a sad time for all Motörhead fans around the globe. We are slowly coming up on five years without the founder, lead singer, bassist, and songwriter of the extremely well-loved heavy metal band Motörhead — Lemmy Kilmister.
It’s easy to dismiss those that gamble as people that are partaking in a vice. But while we’ve been condition to think this way, do we ever stop to think why people gamble? Sure, there’s the possibility of financial profit, but is that all? Studies show that a large portion of those that partake in this pastime, do so responsibly. They set limits and they don’t exceed them. And they state that it’s a form of relief.
Metallica are feeding America, so to speak. More precisely, they are supporting the "Feeding America" food bank, one of four organisations that are receiving financing by "All Within My Hands", the charitable foundation of the glorious metal band.  We have been blessed with many art forms over the ages, from painting and sculpting to theatre and cinema. But music has always had a special place for many people, probably because of how therapeutic it can be. Listening to your favourite tunes when you are feeling down and stressed has been scientifically proven to help improve your mood. What is even better than listening to music is making and producing it, but unfortunately, that is a very difficult industry to get into.  Wind instruments are more complex than you may think. For ages, they have been used to warn people, entertain people, and comfort them. The mechanical aspect of most wind musical instruments is outstanding. You just have to appreciate the engineering and sophistication exhibited by some of the world’s renowned musical instruments.  |
