A: As a metal music fan, you must have listened to uncountable albums, right?
B: Correct. I never count how many albums I have listened to. Just sit, relax, enjoy the music, and escape reality... haha.
A: Can you mention... let's say, at least top 20 of your favorite metal albums? I'm sure it must be more than that.Â
B: Top 20, huh? OK, I'll try. 1. Black Out (Scorpions), 2. Live After Death (Iron Maiden), 3. Seventh Son Of a Seventh Son (Iron Maiden).
A: It's OK to mention some rock albums, bro... go!
B: 4. Adrenalize (Def Leppard), 5. Beneath The Remains (Sepultura), 6. Countdown to Extinction (Megadeth), 7. Endorama (Kreator).
A: Wow... It seems you also consider the good-looking of CD artwork. Nice. Carry on, man...
B: 8. Divine Intervention (Slayer), 9. And Justice For All (Metallica), 10. Youthanasia (Megadeth), 11. Ride The Lightning (Metallica).
A: These ones too, maybe... 12. Reborn (Stryper), 13. Screaming For Vengeance (Judas Priest), 14. Souls Of Black (Testament).
B: True. Next... 15. Cause For Conflicts (Kreator), 16. Inside The Torn Apart (Napalm Death), 17. The Rise Of Chaos (Accept).
A: OK, the last three are...?
B: 18. Tempo Of The Damned (Exodus), 19. Inhuman Rampage (Dragonforce), and 20. Demonic (Testament).
A: You don't like new bands? It's OK to add more albums from late 90's or 2000's...
B: Alright... Slipknot (Slipknot), Sickness (Disturbed), Majestic (Gamma Ray), Bringer Of Pain (Battle Beast), and Once (Nightwish).
A: Five more, please... haha. It's actually not top 20, but top 30. The last ten are only additional.Â
B: Speedsick (Overcharge), Legacy Of Kings (Hammerfall), 7 Sinners (Helloween), Apocalyptic (Turbocharged), Game Over (U.D.O.).
A: Haha... it's really game over, man. OK, you said listening to metal music as an escape from reality. How?
B: Yeah... it's just like a meditation or a way to cool me down. It's just for myself, OK? I never recommend it to other people.Â
