the point being that , unlike in punk music, metal and people in metal bands want to be seen s larger than life, "metal gods" in a sense, which is theatrical.
honest to goodness punk bands and many indie bands, especially the old guard, made it a point to NOT be theatircal, to let everyone know that the dudes on stage were JUST LIKE YOU, the dudes in the audience, and that anyone could get up and rock. metal is different in that snese, and that is what I call theatrical.
good musi c is good music though.
reign in blood!
