I do thing Death Metallic ruins Metallica. I'm also into some rap, but, only by ICP. They're awesome.

Also, I don't think that heavy metal is a bad influence around children - This is coming from an apparent Mosher - but, I personally thing the sensitivity to metal comes from pseudo-religious views upon it all. Then again, its probably too noisy for most children anyway.

Most of my new music comes from my circle of friends, Or, two friends, that're into heavy, heavy metal aswell..

The party sounds awesome! though I will warn you, I get violent at parties if I'm not sedated with Alcohol.
