I mean ... yea ... we knew this right? Just like body builders making it clear that they do it for themselves and not for sex.
It's one of the wonderful things about metal ... it takes all of the aggression and domineering instincts (that apparently tend to reside mostly in males) and directs them to something creative not destructive, something that can be shared not taken away, something that is (mostly) harmless not all conquering.
Just had a thought ... egotistical billionaries ... do any of them have any musical background? Like, do they play instruments at all?
I'd question the dominance thing as a whole. If you have two male pro metal shredders in a room they will not assert their dominance over the guy who just learned his first chord. Also they will not try to mate anyone... they will just shred until they get tired or kicked out.
