| ________________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 10:09am - hauptpflucker ""] haha what a nice story... |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 10:11am - ArilliusBM ""] "Usually it goes like this. A child starts listening to loud music. He moves into the basement, grows his hair long, and gets an electric guitar. He begins wearing black clothes adorned with skulls, and starts hanging around with kids of similar tastes. Adults shake their heads ruefully and wonder how this happened to such a nice boy." way to start a story out with a generalization, Boston Globe. |

| __________________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 5:23pm - MillenialKingdom ""] Worst article ever. I hate it when writers try to write about metalheads as an outsider. They just generalize and think Hammerfall has angst-ridden lyrics. Whoever wrote this piece needs a kick in the balls. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 20,2010 5:37pm - blue ""] Wah wah media will never understand metal wah. Thank god I have my Hammerfall lyrics to help me cope with my angst ridden teenage years. |
| _______________________________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 5:40pm - slaaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh ""] "The dim bulb in the ceiling fixture of his basement bedroom reflected on the chain dangling from his black Goth pants," BAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
| _______________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 6:17pm - Aaron Manley ""] If you guys make fun of my mom I promise I'll strangle each and every one of you with the chain dangling from my black Goth pants. |
| _________________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 6:24pm - ValkyrieScreams ""] All generalizations and misconceptions aside, at least they were reporting that metal had a positive influence on someone's life. |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 7:03pm - the_reverend ""] i thought this was about wren |
| ______________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 7:03pm - BlackoutRick ""] Someone who says "kill your mother, kill your father music" probably wrote this article. |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 8:17pm - arilliusbm ""] brb, gonna go cry and punch bedding while listening to hammerfalls renegade |
| ________________________________________ [Jun 20,2010 8:35pm - AndrewBastard ""] what do you expect from the Boston GOB? |
| ______________________________ [Jun 20,2010 9:26pm - Lamp ""] If only the kid in the article died too and not just his mom, then maybe this drivel wouldn't exist. |

| _____________________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 8:26pm - Woah!_Shut_It_Down! ""] Hammerfall's lyrics relate to me so deeply. It's like Joacim's the only one who understands me in this world. I cry and anally penetrate myself with a sharpie to Last Man Standing for bonus epic points. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 9:15pm - arilliusbm ""] I never lived in a basement. Although it'd been nice if I had. I would have been able to make basement black metal... Oh wait. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2010 9:21pm - Lamp ""] I never grew my hair long, but the rest of that seems pretty accurate for me for getting into punk and metal (much more recently with metal). Does it count as a basement if you spend those years living in a raised ranch? |
| ____________________________________ [Jun 23,2010 9:26pm - arilliusbm ""] I lived in a barn. Does that count? |

Does it count as a basement if you spend those years living in a raised ranch? Depends, was it raised up from the bowels of hell? |
| ______________________________ [Jun 23,2010 9:32pm - Lamp ""] It probably smelled like the bowels of hell with all the garbage, dishes, and dirty clothes I left lying around all over the place. |

| _______________________________ [Jun 23,2010 10:11pm - Lamp ""] I wouldn't be surprised by that, oh well. |
