Editor's note: No, Edward, actually itwas good copy. As a bio linked to Top's Web site confirms, Grieg was a founding member.

Moshed Out

Hearing heavy music:Learn about the music and its scene before you decide to write about it and make a total dumbass of yourself ["Crimson Tide," by John LaBriola, January 2].

And don't use the bands Korn and Limp Bizkit in the same sentence -- fuck, the same paragraph -- with bands like At the Drive-In and Blood Brothers, Angel Hair and Behead the Prophet.

ATDI and B-Bros are not nü-metal or anything close to it. And "moshing" -- who (of those who really matter) fucking moshes anymore, besides people with really bad taste in music or jocks who just want to hurt people?

True hardcore isn't about hurting people, it's about expressing their love, anger or emotions to heavy emotional music, from people who are true to the scene and have real musical talent.
