Can I suggest Nirvana - Territorial Pissings; then ease your friend into some of the lighter Nirvana, such as 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', which has lower points in between the heavier parts. Drop him, next, some 'Lithium', which has longer low points, and less crucial heavy parts. Next, move to 'In Bloom', which runs at a medium, yet steady pace... not too light, not too heavy. And when you got him to the point he can no longer resist hearing more, hit him up with 'The Man who Sold the World'.
That's the Cobain method; conversely, play him some Johnny Cash and he'll nd himself falling into a never-ending ring of re”he'll be hooked!
How you perform the conversion, is I guess, up to you Also, I'm not sure about where you live, but here we have a campus radio station that plays some pretty weird-ass stuff by local bands (I think). Maybe he would like some of that? It's usually not heavy-metal; in fact, it's rarely even music.

In considering the Origin of Species, it is quite conceivable that a naturalist... might come to the conclusion that each species had not been independently created, but had descended, like varieties, from other species. - Charles Darwin On the Origin of Species

Re: Re;Old School
The whole history of musical invention has been about the precise reproduction of specific waveforms. Thank goodness for the invention of computers which finally made that possible.
This is why folks like N'sync make millions selling their washed-up rubbish to the brainwashed and mindless drizzle we'd normally call the populace.
Most of the current generation is supercial to a previously unprecedented degree. I guess we should not be surprised, considering that the music they are spoon fed is nothing more than fake, mass-produced, overly marketed crap. So are the clothes they wear, the food they eat, and even the language they speak.
Furthermore, music is about the production of 'wave-forms', not their reproduction.

Re: Re;Old School
We've said our points. Let's move on. No need for every thread to be hijacked into the usual 'how will crash squirm his way out of this crushing blow' circus.
We disagree... oh well.

Re: Re;Old School
Seriously, though. Nobody else is into Delerium? My friends and I used to do this thing in college we called "living stereo"; we'd use a portable CD player combined with a set of battery-powered wireless speakers shared amongst us to play techno as we walked around. Since nobody could see the speakers, and since it was in stereo, it was all but impossible for anybody to locate the source of the sound.
I can honestly say that you are the rst person I've ever 'met' who considered speaker reverb to be an art form. But, to each his own, I guess...
