I don't know why it wouldn't be in your best interest... music is music
my man... I have an AC/DC "Highway To Hell" keychain and a KISS pin on
my jacket. Metal, (like any other genre) has run the full range of
amazingly great to absolute trash. A wide variety of musical tastes can
only be a good thing. For those of us who produce tracks, a diverse
sample library can only help make more interesting tracks (I'm planning
on using a lot of early 80's punk samples in my upcoming work although
you probobly won't recognize them when I'm through.)

Just a note, Metallica's "Ride The Lightning" spends about as much time
on my turntables as any drum'n'bass or trip hop track does.

peace,
