I like to listen to it and try and break down what makes a fan of that music say 'Ah fuck that other music', do you get me?

But the energy in that music, I love it.” TryingEnergyBreakPiecesFansFiguresGunRoseHeavyIronMetalsBreaking DownBassMaidensTickHeavy MetalMetallicaGrungeIron MaidenDrum And Bass Author:Dizzee Rascal
