As a metal head, I didn’t understand Ghost for the longest time. I didn’t hate it, but “this isn’t metal” was my exact thought, lol. Took me a few tries before I finally thought they were “okay”. Then I went to see them live, and now they’re probably in my top 15 bands.
A lot of fellow metal heads out there don’t like it when music is fun enough to be enjoyed by people who don’t keep a closet full of long-sleeved band shirts. A couple years ago I ran into an old coworker at a Fleshgod Apocalypse show and they got angry when I asked if they were interested in tagging along to an upcoming Dethklok show.
