    • @Chosen_One
      @Chosen_One 4 месяца назад +13

      I agree that he has every right to sing this song, but...
      Heavy Metal began in the late 60s when this man was already in his late 30s.
      Contemporary Gothic culture began in the late 70s when he was in his 40s.
      I'll admit, I couldn't find anything on poetry rock, and I'm not even sure what it is, but I would be willing to bet that it also began around that same time based on some Google searches.
      He was born in 1934. His generation did not invent anything Metal. If anything, they brought us swing and doo-wop.
