Maybe I am bitter and twisted but I will always hate the shiny metal ear piercing deafening bastards !!!!

A therapist might trace it back to an unpleasant youthful experience
meted out by an abusive drummer...

..that wicked deviant.. he hit the cymbal so viciously hard
it went flying off it's stand
and as it hit the stage the sharp spinning edge sliced clean through my amp mains cable
plunging me into silence mid power chord...


truly happened when I was about 19..
and I think that was the time I got a nasty electric shock
trying to hastily & drunkenly repair the cable in the dark at the back of the stage..
