Hey, ma, where's the metal?

Popular music these days would be considered good hip hop music or music you can dance to. You can't change a channel or station and not hear Drake, Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas, or Lil' Wayne. There is one genre that is hidden in the shadows and one must dig deep to find: . What happened to good metal music? You can't find good music that replicates Metallica's For Whom the Bell Tolls or Dio's Holy Diver (the original, kiddies, NOT the remake such as Killswitch Engage). It's not only metal music but real good hard rock, head banging, devil horned, sex driven, alcohol induced, "dont-mess-with-us" rock music. We should really get back in touch with old school metal... or at least point me into the direction where I can find new metal just as great... like Children of Bodom, perhaps?

On that note: my birthday is coming up. This is what I want for my 25th birthday
