Read on if you don't mind the word 'fuck'. :)

This is the situation: there's a beautiful princess trapped in a castle watched by a dragon. Here's the end of the story with different styles of metalheads as knights.

POWER METAL:
The protagonist arrives riding a white unicorn, escapes from the dragon, saves the princess and makes love to her in an enchanted forest.

THRASH METAL:
The protagonist arrives, fights the dragon, saves the princess and fucks her.

HEAVY METAL:
The protagonist arrives on a Harley, kills the dragon, drinks a few beers and fucks the princess.

FOLK METAL:
The protagonist arrives with some friends playing accordions, violins, flutes and many more weird instruments, the dragon falls sleep (because of all the dancing). Then they all leave... without the princess.

VIKING METAL:
The protagonist arrives in a ship, kills the dragon with his mighty axe, skins the dragon and eats it, rapes the princess to death, steals her belongings and burns the castle before leaving.

DEATH METAL:
The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon, fucks the princess and kills her, then leaves.

BLACK METAL:
The protagonist arrives at midnight, kills the dragon and impales it in front of the castle. Then he sodomises the princess, and drinks her blood in a ritual before killing her. Then he impales the princess next to the dragon.

GORE METAL:
The protagonist arrives, kills the dragon and spreads its guts in front of the castle, fucks the princess and kills her. Then he fucks the dead body again, slashes her belly and eats her guts. Then he fucks the carcass for the third time, burns the corpse and fucks it for the last time.

DOOM METAL:
The protagonist arrives, sees the size of the dragon and thinks he could never beat him, then he gets depressed and commits suicide. The dragon eats his body and the princess as dessert. That's the end of the sad story.

PROGRESSIVE METAL:
The protagonist arrives with a guitar and plays a solo of 26 minutes. The dragon kills himself out of boredom. The protagonist arrives at the princess' bedroom, plays another solo with all the techniques and tunes he learned in the last year at the conservatory. The princess escapes looking for the "HEAVY METAL" protagonist.

GLAM METAL:
The protagonist arrives, the dragon laughs at the guy's appearance and lets him enter. He steals the princess' make-up and tries to paint the castle in a beautiful pink color.

NU METAL:
The protagonist arrives in a run-down Honda Civic and attempts to fight the dragon but he burns to death when his moronic baggy clothes catch fire.

-- what is your favourite song by 7?
To Bid You Farewell

-- what is a good memory you have considering the music of 10?
I don't really have any...

-- is there a song of 3 that makes you sad?
Not really, if I had to pick one, I'd say Carry. It doesn't really make me sad, it makes me think.

-- what is your favourite lyric that 2 has sung?
This isn't going to well, they're an instrumental band. >_>

-- what is your favourite song by 9?
...And the Great Cold Death of the Earth

-- how did you get in to 3?
Can't remember, probably just random browsing.

Probably For My Demons, considering that's the first song on the first album of thiers I bought.

-- what is your favourite song by 4?
Angelica

-- how many time have you seen 9 live?
None, they only played live once last year. :(

-- what is a good memory you have concerning 2?
Discovering them. ;)

Nope.

Zos Kia Cultus, with Demigod close behind.

-- what is your favourite lyric that 3 has sung?
Carry:
And the water takes hold
Fills his lungs and crushes his body
Dust floats through sun in water
As you draw close
Fall to me
He sees like his never seen before
I will carry you
True and Free

And the water carries him away
Now that you are here
You'll swim with me
Soon he ceases to be at all
I am clutching you
True

He sees like he's never seen before

He is light in water

-- what is your favourite song of 1?
Right now, Burn the Remembrance

-- what is your favourite song of 10?

None, they broke up before I got into them.

-- what is your favourite album of 1?
I love them all.
