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 make up stories using metal album/song titles when you are bored.

...you get a muscle spasm in your neck from headbanging.

...you call in requests for gore metal on easy listening radio stations.

...easy listening isn't easy for you to listen to.

...you know nothing about European geography but you can point out the exact position of Gothenburg on a globe. Blindfolded. With exact latitude and longitude.

...you always turn to face Gothenburg when you pray to whichever dark gods you worship.



Ahahaha nice ones

PS: Great Avatar Gatsu rules.

Oh, and heres some more "You know you are a metalhead when..."

...you insist on calling puppet masters masters of puppets.

...you don't own any non-band shirts.

...you have an imaginary friend named Eddie.

...when faced with any type of decision, you always pick the choice that is the most "metal."

...you randomly and uncontrollably do high-pitched screams and death growls.

...you can spend an entire week listening to every metal song you own back to back without repeats.

...you hate some subgenre of metal.

...you are aware metal has subgenres.

...you can play air guitar and get all the notes right.

...you can name all the different types of headbanging.

...you lament that you don't have enough money to afford chainmail and a sword.

.Its all about the love for the metal. Look is not everything. If metallicas load album would have sounded and shredded like puppets, then no one would have cared that they looked all sudo goth and proper.

1. you're in highschool at Maths class, the teacher starts the subject of series and comes to "Taylor series", you think of Corey Taylor and find yourself humming Slipknot's Discography the rest of the class.

2. some years later you're in University at Image Processing class, the Professor names "Huffman Encoding" and the pronounciation pops up Deicide's Hoffman brothers to your mind and the same story as highschool repeats but after the class you get disappointed for that "U" vs. "O" by checking the spelling.

And then you get an F because you weren't paying attention to what your teacher and professor was saying and drop out and form a metal band

hahahaha yeah after being kicked out you can form an EMO band to cry how cruel the education system is and how they don't appreciate your genius and how you hate the world to the extreme and if you die it's their fault and...

I think those might just pertain too you. I shower everyday, I don't even play WoW, and I have my standard when it comes to women. I'm pretty sure your in the minority on those things... sorry to take it too seriously.
Also, what could you wear that's ugly that has to do with metal? besides blood

Well, when I read the Metal Hammer on the metro the surrounding people probably think, that I'm forced to do it, because I write some sort of work about it. And when I appear on a metal-concert in jeans and a poloshirt I kind of feel the strange looks. And when I go to courses on the next day in my new acquired metal-shirt people get confused...

But I love metal - can't live without it!
