They told me that it was just a phase as well when I was 18, growing my hair and already headbanging to the greats of metal as well as learning how to play the guitar. "You are young so now you are just experimenting with different hairstyles and listening to heavy music. When you turn 25, you will cut your hair, stop listening to heavy music and dressing like rock stars and start listening to Jazz, Easy Listening or Bollywood (I have Asian Roots) and find other hobbies such as sports and dancing instead of sitting in your room playing guitar all day" I will be 40 in a couple of years, I still have long hair and I own more metal albums than I ever have done so. Seen countless bands. Made friends with quite a few heavy metal musicians including a few famous ones. And I never found another hobby besides sitting in my room thrashing the shit out of my guitar (because I don't want another hobby) and have learned some of the laws of music through it. My room is still mosaiced (if there is such word in the English Language) with metal posters. Would never change it despite the cliquey attitude of those who refuse to understand. Metal is not a phase, once you get into it, it stays with you for life and few things will ever equate to what it will mean to you. And those who tell you "Oh...I was into that when I was younger or when I was depressed/angry in my life but now I don't care for it, it was a phase" were never really into it to begin with. Update: The hair is gone thanks to balding and also my career and the need for me to be more presentable in conservative manner so I had to say goodbye to my locks and shave them off. Rob Halford did it in his late 30's and I've followed his footsteps. No doing any of this hair preservation hogwash with surgery, hormone therapy etc, I just embraced baldness and did away with it. One of the best decisions I ever made and I bypassed the insecurity some men go through when they start losing their hair. The hair maybe gone but the metal rages on indefinitely within myself.
38, still got long hair, still playing guitar, still listening to heavy shit. Sure I've matured, took on responsibilities and went on to do many things in life, but Heavy Metal never goes away.
As a little kid i rlly loved ozzy and Black Sabbath, i loved it so much to the point where i wanted a shirt rlly anything that had a picture of Ozzy Osbourne on it, coz to 7 year old me ozzy was a god, a role model he was everything that i needed. I didn't get my first band shirt until about 2 years ago when i was 12 and got my first ozzy osbourne shirt. I loved it sooo much now that i have found new heavy metal, death metal, glam metal, hard rock bands i now want their posters, shirts, cds anything. And im also learning the guitar, throughout my entire childhood ozzy has remained by my side for all these years yet ppl say i will grow out of ozzy osbourne and move on to idk, what every girl likes one direction, but nope i loved ozzy and he has stayed throughout my entire freaking childhood and he will always be until the day i die.
