Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vermis" data-source="post: 209951" data-attributes="member: 37487">I'm sorry, I appear to have wandered down the wrong alley and ended up on Arachnoboards.I just chalk it up to tarantulas (snakes, lizards etc.) having a spooky, countercultural image in a western world where even house spiders give people the willies. It's something that might form an initial attraction for people who are also into facial piercings and t-shirts with skulls on 'em.Not exactly my bag (I do like a bit of lighter metal from time to time) but if they're anything like Tom Moran it's small potatoes.(It's a little like the time I saw someone say that fantasy was inherently linked to heavy metal. Odd, I thought. It always puts me in mind of Basil Poledouris, Howard Shore, Edvard Grieg even.)</blockquote>
