Heavy metal music is one of my favorite genres.
Heavy metal music started in the U.K. in the 1960s.
I prefer the American side, such as Rage Against the Machine. 
I am more into the 80's, Poison is one of my favorite bands, that came out in the 1980s!
Do you like Korn?
I do. I saw them in California in 1993, when they were just starting out.
Really? That must have been an awesome show!
It was, I especially enjoyed a Motorhead concert which started the punk rock movement.
I really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're the best concert I've ever seen.
aggressive styles: thrash metal broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax, while other extreme subgenres of heavy metal such as death metal and black metal remain subcultural phenomena. Since the mid-1990s popular styles have further expanded the definition of the genre. These include groove metal and nu metal, the latter of which often incorporates elements of grunge and hip hop.
Characteristics.
Heavy metal is traditionally characterized by loud distorted guitars, emphatic rhythms, dense bass-and-drum sound,
being certified Silver in the United Kingdom.
In 2015, Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis stated "My favorite Faith No More record is "The Real Thing". That's when Mike Patton took over. That's the one. [Although] I do like "We Care a Lot". We got a lot of our influences from "The Real Thing". It showed everybody you could do heavy music and not be "metal". It was something completely different."
Legacy.
