You know you're a metal head when you start replacing normally timid lyrics from random radio rock with pig squeals

You know your a metalhead when you find out your head is made from almighty true steel! - IM sorry i couldan't resist it!

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!

Ah, I could do without the Queens of the Stone Age, man I do that on purpose now, just to throw people off. Its always the same 'uniformity', but the thing is I love wearing my tanker boots (and spurs). But for Enslaved, I took off in Vans and my white 'A Forest Of Stars' shirt. Everyone looked at me strange, including Enslaved! Well... Audrey Horne, they looked pretty gay, so they didn't seem to mind a white shirt. That AND I'm torn between my re-united skating life. So what if I wear 'Emericas' and a fuck Funeral Mist shirt?

Which brings me to my point: you know you're a metalhead when you KNOW you're a metalhead. Its not too important for me if anyone cares why I have on Vans, I KNOW that I probably listen to harder music than most of those fucking goldbrickers.

However, sometimes image is important to represent something. You can't be singing praise Satan, burn churches, stab everyone to death when you have a Pink American Eagle T-Shirt.

...pyroleprechaun!

I definitely agree on that - actually I wanted to write something like that at first, but I prefered my post being short. Because of this feeling, I usually represent metal, where it is not or little represented: among friends, in family... And there, where metal lives anyway - on concerts and on festivals - I am just myself and enjoy the strange looks. Honestly, I hate the thought to represent something, 'uniformity'.

And burn down churches? ...nah!

Well...actually....I meant 'Nativity Scene'. The little things everyone puts in front of their Satanicmas Trees with Jesus, Mary, Joseph, etc..

YEAH! You know you're a metalhead when you can burn a plastic JESUS figurine!

...at least a third of your sentences contain the word metal.
...you understand that Iron Maiden=god.
...you can name every member of Black Sabbath ever including the Heaven and Hell spin-off.
...you've named at least three of your children Ronnie James Dio, Bruce Dickinson, or Ozzy Osbourne.
[edit] Oh yeah, and I discovered I was a metalhead when I noticed that when I point with my left hand, I toss up metal fingers. It's kinda weird.

Hm, are you trying to mock at me?! Well, maybe you're right, I won't even burn a plastic Jesus figurine - that's too hard for me. And I can't stand the smell...

-When you listen to Nile and Necrophagist when trying to fall asleep.
-When you sing along to music without words...
-When you excitedly show your friends your new favorite songs only to have them tell you it sounds like noise and people saying 'suffer'...and you like it.
-When you can't seem to leave your house without people calling you Jesus.
-When you can't last two minutes listening to people rock out to non-metal without wanting to burn something.

Not really, I'm just messing around. You're right though...the smell of plastic burning is totally UNMETAL. I got a pretty good laugh out of the 'metal' in Dethklok. They have some guy inspecting their house. Goes something like this:

Guy: Are you telling me that bodies of YOUR employees clogging up sewage is METAL?!
Nathan: Yeah...yeah, that's actually pretty metal.
Guy: Well, I...guess you're right, that is PRETTY metal.

Oh man.. that maked me laugh hard

What about this: By lookin at the sky at night, you find it full of shining Pentagrams.

When you break someones bones just cuz he said something bad about your fav. Band

I think that you can consider yourself for a metalhead when your feelings towards metal in general (not only music) are similar to those of love <3

You aint a metalhead unless you imagine yourself on stage performing great songs for audiences and doing at least three different types of headbanging.

That's taking the phrase "metalhead" a bit too literaly....

Actually felt like that several times. I have some friends who will raise their fists in the air with devilhorns and headbang to some kind of soft pop when they hear it. I don't know if it's just me being closeminded onto how people want to express their feelings for their music, but.. erh, kinda boiled my blood into black orcish blod.

Wen you listen to it while whashing the dishes xD

Or do housework in general.

Personally, I cannot imagine household chores without music. I usually listen to something I can headbang to (Aeon is great for this!). Though I've been told it looks absolutely hilarious when I'm vacuuming and trying to headbang while the stereo is maxed out.

Hehehe, that'd be nice to see

There are three stages of housework IMO:

1. Find a good metal album.
2. Find some way to play it really loud.
3. Listen to the album.
4. Do the housework while listenong to the album.
OR
Just listen to the album and do the housework tomorrow.

As a result of this, I don't get a lot of housework done at all.

Whenever I do housework I always finish before the album really gets into itself. Its kind of annoying.

You must not have a lot to do then haha. It generally takes me from 1-2 1/2 hours to finish.

But. at least I don't have your problem in this case haha.

I listen to metal all day when I'm working in the warehouse...I'm usually the only one in there so I put it into the stereo and crank it all throughout the day...the ppl in the office are used to it by now they don't care...

I completely agree with you, brother!!!! Trve^^

..when you post in a forum along with 37 dudes and only 2 chicks:lol:

You know you're a metalhead when people ask you "metal has colors now?" when you say you listen to black metal.

Oh yeah, I listen metal even during a shower

How do you do that? A stereo in the bathroom? What I want is some sort of stereo in my shower that is waterproof...

Yup, I have a small radio with cd player, and I cover it with towel.
