Well, lately I've been thinking about what does you make you a metalhead.
Listening to the music? going to concerts? dressing metal clothes? some attitude?

I don't know if I can consider myself a metalhead because I do listen to a lot of bands of different genres: Gothic, Folk, Power, Symphonic, Industrial, Atmospheric, Doom, Black, Progressive and Gothenburg. But, I don't dress metal clothes, I listen to many other kinds of music, I've never been in a metal concert... So, just being a metal expert makes you a metalhead?
What do you think?

you know you're a metalhead when you can go to sleep listening to nile, and actually have sound sleep.

*your Tshirt is stainted with sweat, beer, blood and mud after a gig
*you fuck society but buy shoes that cost the same as 30 CDs
*you can ever get blocked in that position
*when at a party, you conspicuously show how bored you are with that gay music and get yourself a beer


Take a bath girl, you sound dirty, haha (just kidding with ya).

You buy shoes that cost as much as 30 CDs?!?! That's insane! Just to imagine three CDs cost like...45 euro or so. (I know you don't mean that literally..)

And which position are you talking about..... ??

I truly agree with that last part, you just want to get drunk as fast as possible so the lyrics of some whining emo band make sense. Fuck! When I'm drunk I'll dance to Korn! Drunk is good....Korn is bad.

the afetr-gig bath is really great, yes! (and necessary too)

not mine, I don't have New Rocks, but they cost around 200 euros, and as a CD costs around 10 euros (in a big french CD shop, they do sometimes special sales, and you can have very good CDs for 8euros) add the traditionnal french exageration...

I talk about the hand, it once appened to me to stay with index and little finger raised for 5 minutes after turning berzerk, what's not very easy for drinking...

Metalhead means you accept the metal culture, it's not about exterior trappings.

In that sense, I'm a metalhead, or Hessian, as we call them

Lol. Then making out while head-banging and moshing at the concert. And don't forget paying complete attention to the band-member who plays the same instrument as you do.
Also, that sites pretty interesting, thanks for the link.

Or when you head-bang so hard you accidentally slam your head into someone else so hard that it rips a gash in your lip and leaves half of your canine tooth dangling by a single nerve and blood is gushing from your mouth. Then you get a paper towel or something and say "That was metal!" with a huge grin on your face.
(happened to someone at the last show I went to.)
Random-metal-guy I salute you! lol.

I prefer Deicide, but the statement is precise.


yeah and the berzerker.

plus these:

- you listen to Deicide's "F*** your God" when others are preparing to say their prayers.
- when your younger siblings curiously ask you "what is this you're listening to all day?" and you play Marduk as an instance, and they look at you shocked without saying anything... (happened years ago)
- when you can't play your speakers with high volume at home therefore have to do it with earphones which terribly damages your ears.
- you only have one night to study for an exam and still can't give up listening to metal for a short time...

The story for me goes like this: I had a choice between seeing Nevermore live for half an hour or going with my girlfriend to see Queen and most definitely get laid. I chose Nevermore and then stayed up all night so I could meet up with my girlfriend early the next day and meet her family and friends at her school. A major part of the day was seeing her perform with the school's choir (40 people performing exclusively for me and my gf's parents). I drew a picture of Jeff Loomis and fell asleep.

Needless to say she's my ex. Nevermore and sleep for the win!


haha damn dude
thats some man shit right there

when you drive 7 hours to your favourite bands concert listening to their entire discography blasted in the car, watch them play the songs you just listend to. go to hotel still listening, fall asleep with them in your head clear as day. and listen to them for another 7 hours on the way home.

You're a metalhead when you chose to listen to metal in all your free periods even though you know you are going to fail the next class's test if you do not study.

Totally worth it too.

I generally try to study that kind of stuff at home, but when I forget that I was supposed to do some homework, free periods are usually when you're supposed to do 'em, but meh. Nothing beats walking around campus blaring Aeon in your mp3 player.
