Heavy metal is your favorite music? What decade of metal?
I wouldn't say its my favorite, Im actually not too familiar with it, do you know anything about it?
I like some of the newer bands like Norma Jean from early 2000s. 
Oh okay, is that still a heavy metal band?
I think it counts as metal or post-hardcore at least. 
I see. What would make a band qualify to be of the heavy metal genre?
The guitar playing style is what I look at most with intricate solos. Also vocal style. 
Does it take more work then say, pop or hip hop music vocally to sing in the heavy metal genre?
