It was the summer of 2003 and MP3.com's active message board community was heating up as well -- with flame wars.
Along came Chaz Fanaro, looking to cut through the negative noise. He began to interview many of the musical artists who pitched a tent on the popular indie music forum. Others pitched in with questions of their own. July of 2003 could have turned ugly, but thanks to the interviews blanketing the forum, it became a home for insight and mutual respect.
The forums were wiped clean by Vivendi in December, 2003. The interviews live on.

Being a Grumpy Old Head Banger implies you were once a grumpy young head banger. Has head banging been frowned upon because of it's dangerous outcome?
Grumpy Old Head Banger
My wife actualy gave me that nickname. When I am working on a song that isn't comming together quite like I want I tend to get a little grumpy. Any way she calls me a "Grumpy Old Headbanger". The irony is, I am not really old at all LOL. Maybe just old at heart
I have found myself recovering from a mosh pit on more than one occasion though.
