When asked by U.K.'s Kerrang! Magazine what you'll unexpectedly find in his iPod, Deftones front man Chino Moreno reveals that it would be Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber's track called What Do You Mean.
"I actually downloaded this song just yesterday. I had to- it's completely unavoidable! It comes on in the car every time I get in it. And you know what? I like it! I really do! I don't know how surprised people will be about that. I think people who know me know that I listen to a lot of corny s***! I've got no problem with it, so I'll just keep on enjoying this one", Moreno explains.
Apart from Moreno, there is a long list of metal and rock artists that have admitted to actually like Justin Bieber. Metallica, one of Bieber's favourite bands, also went through the hot seat after the pop singer was spotted wearing a Metallica shirt and mouthing the lyrics of Fade to Black in one of his candid videos. In the 2013 issue of Q magazine, James Hetfield, Metallica's front man, stated; "Are we Beliebers? Yes." Bassist Robert Trujillo added that if Bieber stays out of trouble, then he'll be a Belieber. Meanwhile, the band's drummer Lars Ulrich said that he think Bieber's a talented kid and to go through what he did at such a very young age must have been confusing. Ulrich concluded then that he is "kind of a Belieber", even if at first he questioned the fact that he can respect him without being called one.
Everybody has guilty pleasures, indeed. Even Rob Halford of Judas Priest admitted to liking Lady Gaga and wishes to collaborate with her. These guys are just telling that world that there is nothing wrong with appreciating and enjoying something that is not of your usual interests.
