Descriptive Paragraphs
Eric Bryan sits on the edge of his bed thumping out a bass line, his fingers flying up and down the neck of his unamplified bass. Eric's room is filled with metal memorabilia. Sitting in his room, Eric is surrounded by images and artificats of metal fandom. Posters of every size cover the walls to the ceiling, displaying band photos and album cover art from bands like Anthrax, Shadows Fall, and others even less familiar to the non-metal fan. An autographed photo of Voivod has been framed, as well as a photo of Eric playing with his own band. Figurines of Alice Cooper, Metallica, ACDC, and Iron Maiden line his windowsill. "Whether you've had a good day or a bad day, the music's going to be there for it," Eric says.

Eric Bryan is a 17-year old from Riverside, California. He plays bass, and he's a serious metal fan. His room is decked out in heavy metal paraphernalia. His walls are covered with posters of his favorite bands, including a framed autographed picture of Voivod. His windowsill is lined with figurines of heavy metal musicians -- Alice Cooper, Metallica, ACDC, and Iron Maiden. The names of these bands and others -- Pantera, Ozzy, Nine Inch Nails -- have been inked onto his boom box with marker. Heavy metal is important to Eric. "It's something I can always count on," he says. "Whether you've had a good day or a bad day, the music's going to be there for it." Eric likes metal because it's angry, which he can relate to, and because it has meaning beneath the surface.
