More reader mail on Jethro Tull

"Tull can be categorized as progressive rock which overlaps with metal (Rush and
Iron Maiden are examples). So it's not such a stretch. But more importantly, if
a kid was given piano lessons at 8, and turns into a metalhead at 16, he doesn't
actually have many options. Locomotive breath has a driving guitar riff and
lyrics about 'shuffling maddness'. Plus Toni Iommi, the founder of Black
Sabbath, and the most revered name in heavy guitar riffdom, was in Jethro Tull
briefly." -- New Jersey White Trash 

For those not aware of the Jethro Tull collected works, they include "Bungle in the Jungle," "Too Old to Rock & Roll (too young to die)," "Aqualung," and "Locomotive Breath." There are other great songs, too.  If you're bored, listen to this! It's not very metally, and you might really like it, pop fiends.
