I know in metal it was all 5 strings and a lot of them were Ibanez. Having said that, the 00's was the absolute low point in the history of metal and most of it was just awful. Pop punk was probably the biggest rock genre and they all used P basses and Stingrays, often painted dayglo pink or green. Pop music seemed to be mostly electronic so maybe a laptop and keyboard is the way to go.

Heavy metal isn't really about nice tunes you can hum along to. Heavy metal is supposed to be challenging to listen to, it shouldn't be easy listening background music. I've been a metal fan for a very long time and I have never listened to some Crowbar or Suicidal Tendencies and thought "if only this had a more catch tune and maybe a major key to cheer it up a bit". If I ever have those thoughts then I'll trade in my record collection for Michael Buble's greatest hits.

Holy crap! For nearly $600 you get a general admission ticket, one item of merchandise and one drink. Even Ticketmaster would think that's a bit much.
