Is Heavy Metal Going Soft?
Rafer Guzman of Newsday writes: “Is heavy metal – once the angriest and scariest form of rock on the planet – going soft? The genre has always taken different forms, from the devilish Black Sabbath in the 1970s to the rap-rocking Limp Bizkit of today. But these days, metal is taking on a surprising new face: that of the sensitive guy. When head-banging gods Metallica (who play two nights at Nassau Coliseum starting Tuesday) can be heard screaming, ‘I want my anger to be healthy,’ you know something has changed.” Newsday.com has since removed the article.
