Rock and Pop: On a scale of 1-10, how defensive are you of your favorite band(s)?

About a six. If they criticize my favorite death metal bands I usually don't get too defensive because I know that kind of music kind of takes a while to get into, but when people criticize classic rock or hard rock bands that I like I get somewhat more defensive because I honestly can't see what problem people could have with it. However, if they start to say unfounded things about bands I like, then I just might slap the *****.
