TOPIC: Metal Blah Blah Blah

That can be frustrating. I had a similar experience when I tried to share Queensryche's "Operation Mindcrime" with my parents. They called it "subversive counter culture paranoia". As you can tell by the fact that I remember that, it left an impression. I had always thought my parents were more intelligent and open than that.

She knows English pretty well despite being from Mexico, so she understood the lyrics. Only problem is she likes to poke fun at anything that's supposed to be serious. Its one reason why I don't share most of my music with her.

You may do better by showing her the lyrics. At least that's how I connected w/my mom w/Ozzy's Miracle Man. She'd seen the story on the news, and I shared Ozzys funny poke at them. It was certainly "a moment".

I think my mom is pretty tolerant to it, but she wouldn't hear it on a daily basis. She allows me to listen to what I like, as long as I do well in school. I only showed her Nostradamus CD because she knew about the prophet and thought he was very wise. If anything, she made fun of one of the songs.

As far as having something in common with your son at that level, I think its great!! The more you have in common with your son the more you two can bond, IMO.

Is your mom usually hip to heavy metal? I mean...I know my son thinks I'm a cool dad, and he also understands that I'm still his parent, and NOT his friend, but we have a blast so far together in life with each others company. That's been very important to me...that I could identify with him in whatever he may be going through. Am I taking that to a more intense level? Is it too much?

I'll ask her in a little bit. She's in the living room watching a Mission Impossible movie en Español. (Quoting Message by DemonCat from Saturday, June 21, 2008 11:57:48 PM)

My mom would have never made it through the first chord. Yer lucky! Gonna have to ask her opinion sometime, and share it w/us.

That was cool!!! I shared my Nostradamus CD with my mom on the car today on the way to the store. She heard the 1st CD, from Dawn of Creation to War. She seems to have liked it!! She didn't give me her opinion, though.

Hot, and sweaty, but nowehere near what Tim just went through. My story's simple. My son, and I just finished a full performance of Nostradamus on air guitar...standing up on the jaguar shoe shaped chairs...jumping all over the living room, and putting on a stage show to no-one. LOL Had a blast, but sweating profusely atm.
