Retired=fishing, traveling, slot machines and NHRA.
I love Slayer but man I just googled some of the other bands mentioned on this thread and it's too hard core for me. I have to at least be able to decipher the lyrics after a few times listening.
Yeah, I like some of the American Metal, Obituary and Prong among them. On my iPod I also have Helmet, Job For A Cowboy, Lamb of God, Marylin Manson, Mushroomhead, Six Feet Under, Type O Negative, Tool - I could go on, but the European and Scandinavian stuff I dig the most...
Have a look see at some stuff from Brazil, Sweden, Norway, England...
There is a LOT of music in Memphis, just not blues, jazz, etc. I plan on seeing a lot more live metal there than over here. There is Mud Island in Memphis, which is an island on the Mississippi River that has some crazy concerts.

I'm with you buddy. Love it hard, but hate what I can't understand. Death metal ain't my thing. I find that as I get older, I get more into mainstream hard rock bands. For example, just downloaded Shinedown-The Sound of Madness and LOVE IT! Their cover of Simple Man on a Previous Album is phenomenal as well.
FYI - Heard an interview with Lars this week. He is trying to put a North America tour with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax together for next year. Sucks that is was only in Europe this year.
