Several People have mentioned that Uz (esp ZZi) would prefer to listen
to Heavy Metal. And I agree... to a point. Though the feel and purpose
(loud, angry, annoying to mom) is correct, I just don't know where Jo
Uz is going to get himself a "flying V" and a Stack of Peavy speakers...
I just can't see there being a consistant enough trade with the dwarves
to provide enough electric guitars to consistantly reproduce Dio-Era
Black Sabbath ;-)
On a (rather weak) aestheic point, Would Uz Headbangers be
skinny, big-haired, and spandex-clad like their RW counterparts? Even
the really hardcore HM folk tend towards the scrawny end of things
(either scrawny, or with those big poncy Swartzenegger weightlifting
muscles...) And I just can't see many ZZi with long hair... they play
with FIRE after all... ( and I've Personally seen what can happen to
pyromaniac metalheads)
Also, the "Satanic" "Demon-Worshipper" thing would be really
boring to the uz. If you really want to tweak out Mom, you need to
write songs about sunshine and Fluffy Bunnies, where everyone lives
happily ever after... Mebbe Donovan, or Pizzicato Five... "Sunshine
Superman"... now THAT is gunna torque mom Real good ;-)
and of course, the REAL reason that GothIndustrial is the way to
go for traditional UZ music -- They'd get to wear Latex Leggings, and
con attendance would surly increase...
(btw -- "Mob Rules" is a perfect set of lyrics... or even the
seed for a "MOB rules (MGF)" scenario...)
