Heh. Pronuncing with either a 'k' or an 's' is considered fine. Almost positive the band uses a 'k'
 
49. Tell them you used to be a metalhead, but grew out of it when you started listening to more intellectual stuff like

If anyone has ever seen the "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" DVD and the special features that are on it where they go back to find some of the folks who were in the original video, this so reminds me of "Zebra Man." Shit talking every kind of music that was not metal when he was first videoed at the age of 19 or whatever, then the guys who made the video go back to visit him and he's like "Oh, I just sorta grew out of that stuff."

My feelings very closely corresponded with one of the first women they interviewed who was in the original "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" video. (They actually caught up with her at a Jaxx show.) She basically said that the folks who say that they've "grown out of it" were never true fans in the first place.

I guess that just leaves more room at shows for fans like us who actually really appreciate this sort of music. :headbang:

I know us metal heads have no sense of humor and taken everything way too seriously, but this list certainly made me laugh. :lol:

Yeah, these would work on me.. instantly! :Smug: :lol:
Great list, I love it!

9. Record over their Cannibal Corpse albums with other Cannibal Corpse albums and see if they ever notice the difference.

:lol:

19. Tell them you like underground music too, like Godsmack.

heh. "Yeah, I like heavy bands like that! Slipknot, Godsmack, KoRn...." (I've gotten that lots of times while wearing, say, a Dimmu shirt. I look upon each occurence as a chance to edumificate and inform.)

23. Divert their CD shipments to the local Jewish community center.

If you were expecting some Orphaned Land CDs, this might be a Good Thing.

I've actually ordered an extra copy of Mabool for a homebound Jewish friend of mine......who loved it.

31. Tell them you're not hiring and to try the other Cinnabon down the street.

Br00tal!

Those had me in freaking tears! Loved number 26!

I know us metal heads have no sense of humor and taken everything way too seriously, but this list certainly made me laugh. :lol:

Wait, does that mean because I do have a sense of humor I'm not a metalhead? Fuck that. I'll beat anyone's ass that say's I'm not. (Will that work?) :)
