[@RichardCranium.]

Monster tracks are big and powerful like metal. So they are more metal then country. Metal will play when a monster track runs other things over.

[@mmmmmmmmmmm10]

Cate Blanchett was Australian (not anymore) and so is Margot Robby. Monster trucks are a USA thing and there is no monster truck culture in Australia. So it was a stupid ass question, of course Margot Robbie isn't into monster trucks.

An ex-girlfriend of mine said about grunting: "It's as if you burp and then say: Huhuhuhuh, I just sang a song!" She's an EX-girlfriend for multiple reasons, and this narrowmindedness most certainly is one of them. It's fun to see that opera singers and vocal coaches (Maggie Renée, The Charismatic Voice etc.) analyze metal songs and really get emotional when listening to this genre of music! The lyrics often are incredibly deep and touching, and the musical composition often is just absolutely perfect to move the correct emotions in the strongest way possible at exactly the right moments. And of course it's just lovely mindless loud agression, which also can be awesome from time to time! But the most mindless metal usually still is much deeper than the vast majority of pop songs these days.

I remember a few years back on a Dutch talk show there was an item about how a Dutch celebrity liked metal. At first I thought is was gonna be cringe because the usual "HoW cAn YoU lIkE metal comments" and the first few clips were Rammstein and Metallica, which all pretty surface level stuff. But then they went on to show bands like Gojira and Meshuggah and the host of the show even made a comment about how virtuosic some of these musicians are followed by a clip of John Petrucci playing the solo of Stream of Conciousness. Still cannot believe we had fucking Dream Theater and Meshuggah on Dutch television with a host that actually asked interesting questions about what is so appealing about it.

She's a professional violinist and she actually loved how complex and melodic that was. She turned up the volume and _immediately_ gave my headphones to her son so he could listen to it too : 'here, just LISTEN to this! Apparently this is metal! Can you believe it? What did you say their name was, dear? I have to look more into this.' 😂 Proof that more people could love this genre if they actually gave it a try instead of deciding they don't like it based on stereotypes!

The only reason I can think of why Kate Blanchet made a connection between metal and monstertrucks is because they're both aggressive. Still I find it baffling that the first thing that comes to her mind when she hears metal is big cars driving on smaller cars. That's aggressive - sure. It's also destructive and that's not necessarily what metal is about. It's not like everyone who likes metal would want a slayer patch stitched onto their leg.

[@tomaszkwiatkowski9986]

First thing that came to my mind about this connection was about rednecks from US. They sure love their monster trucks and stereotypical redneck image is someone listening to hard rock/heavy metal with bottle of Jack Daniels in hand, driving monster truck on some dirt road 😆

[@verakatharina]

Was thinking the same. But then I also thought that her image was metal = rednecks= monster trucks. Both logical connections, if you have zero idea about anything. What a sad fucking existence. Hope she meets a metal scholar one day who upends her worldview. Or you know. Even any average listeners.

“Its just nois-“ A shotgun is a smoothbore firearm (without rifling cut into the barrel to spin a projectile), designed to fire “shot,” or small, individual pellets (typically made of lead or steel), rather than a single bullet, as is the case with rifles and handguns. The first firearms used in the way we think of shotguns today were smoothbore muzzle-loading muskets in the late 17th century, which people sometimes loaded with shot and used for hunting birds. These “fowling pieces” gradually morphed into dedicated shotguns by the late 18th century, and the shotgun “shell” or self-contained cartridge was available by the latter half of the 19th century. It had: Outer hull, usually made of plastic, with a rimmed, brass or steel base Primer contained within the metallic base, to ignite the powder charge when the primer is struck by the firing pin A charge of gunpowder contained in the metallic base A felt, paper, or synthetic “wad” and/or shot cup over the powder A payload of shotgun pellets (commonly called “shot”), buckshot (larger lead balls), or a slug (a single large, metallic projectile, sometimes enclosed in a fiber or plastic sheath or “sabot”).
