Пази ово! Ја лично "не готивим" ( ) прог, па ми је ово нарочито смешно... 101 RULES OF PROG METAL 1. Insist that your definition of prog metal is sacred and that the only progressive bands are the one you deem to be so. 2. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you regarding rule 1 of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true prog fan. 3. Have contempt for mainstream music. 4. Insist that most people listen not to the music, not to the lyrics but only the chorus and that is why prog metal is not mainstream. 5. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you regarding rule 4 of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true prog fan. 6. When showcasing a new prog metal band to a non-musician friend, put on the most technically difficult song, and skip directly to the solo part. 7. If your friend says that it is cool, tell him that he has grasped the grandeur of prog and shown that his intelligence is superior to that of the mainstream sheep. 8. If he doesn´t, accuse him of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true prog fan. 9. Renounce all contact with friend in rule 8. Racial purity isn´t all bad. 10. Make sure your drummer has a double bass pedal. 11. If he hasn´t, kick him out and get another one who has. Single pedal is NOT prog. 12. Own every side-project a member of Dream Theater has been involved in. Listen to approximately none of them regularly. 13. When a mainstream fool asks you what prog metal is, tell him something along the lines of "prog is the evolution of musical expression and experimentalism in rock." In any case, make sure that the person in question is left with no idea of what prog metal is. He wouldn´t have understood anyway. 14. Insist that music should always progress, although as long as you write an album in the prog vein, you don't necessarily have to. 15. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you regarding rule 14 of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true prog fan. 16. Refer to progressive metal as intelligent music for intelligent people, preferably at every occasion where a mainstream group or genre is mentioned. 17. Note that the above does not qualify as arrogance any more than pointing out that wine is drink for the more sophisticated. 18. A song under four minutes is NOT prog. If you are stuck with a song under four minutes, insert a phrygian solo trade-off between the guitarist and keyboardist as long as needed. 19. If a mainstream fool tells you that shredders are mindless wankers, tell him that "at least they can tune their guitars, har har", and walk away defiantly. 20. Spocks Beard is NOT prog. If anyone disagrees, kill them. 21. Humming along with the melody to a prog metal song is forbidden. Burn all albums you own with hum-along melodies. 22. Loathe all music you used to like before you got into prog. This is not optional. When asked why, tell people that "I am into GOOD music now, why would I go back?". 23. Accuse any prog metal musician that cuts his hair of selling out. 24. Often state that you don´t only listen to prog. Jazz is a good choice. 25. Yeah...like you have more than 3 jazz CDs in your collection... 26. Never accept ANY Berklee graduates. The drop-outs are so much better. 27. Riffs in 4/4 are not progressive. If you happen to come up with a cool riff in 4/4, alternate between 4/4 and progressive time signatures like 7/8 every other measure to ensure the musical complexity synonymous with prog metal. 28. Be able to mention 20 bands noone has heard of, not even true prog fans. Own no releases of these bands. 29. Get an Ibanez. This is not negotiable. 30. Spend 5 hours every day critiquing other musicians on forums. 31. Spend 5 minutes every other day actually practicing your instrument. 32. Yell at people who headbang at concerts: They're not prog enough to get the music, what do they expect? 33. Sus4 is your friend. To ensure that your album is a true progressive release, include at least one part where the keyboard plays ascending sus4 chords over a single-note broken rhythm in 7/8. 34. Make sure your bandname is either a a) Oxymoron -Silent Noise -Tender Harshness -Healing Gun Some geeky sounding name ripped from some obscure book. -Deitronus -Tarakoch -Fentaran or c) Random combination of at least 2 three-syllable words. -Eternal Twilight Tranquility (Can't get much progger than that) -Redolent Arithmetic -Evolution of Vernacular Domesticated 35. Don't worry about if your band name makes any sense or not. Since 90% of your fanbase is from Brazil and Japan, you can safely ignore conventional English grammar and instead focus on what´s really important: The lyrics (see rule 36). 36. Write deep and ambiguous lyrics. 37. If unable to write deep and ambigous lyrics, include at least one of the following phrases to ensure recognition as lyrical genius in prog circles: "I'm staring towards ascension divine, caught in my own revelation, a nightly mystery of soulburning apparition" "Mornings' gentle caress, a ray of sunlight enveloping the spirit of the sleeper ventriloquist" "A timid, palatable genocide, turn towards the decline of mankind, the festering wound of ages past changes into the soul-spirit of vestigial sentences." 38. Use a non-standard instrument like violin, saxophone or kazoo, regardless of how idiosyncratic it turns out to be. This constitutes being prog. 39. Make sure your bass-player has as many strings as possible. Don't worry if he uses approximately three of the 11 strings on his custom Carvin 30 kg bass regularly, just give him a bass solo in the middle of your mandatory instrumental tune(more on that later)where he can really show the extent of his instruments capabilities. Imagine the range of scales on an instrument like that! 40. Release a live-album called "Live in Tokyo". 41. Change time signatures. Constantly. 42. Accuse anyone who does not do so of lacking musical intelligence and not being a true progressive musician. 43. Your amp MUST be a Mesa Boogie. If a friend of yours tries to convince you´re wrong and you should check out his Marshall tell him that his tone is thin and buzzy. 44. State that Metallica can´t properly tweak the boogies. They´re so... unprog! 45. Start a Dream Theater cover band with friends just starting out playing instruments. Spend half of the rehearsal talking shit about punk bands and how people don't understand your music. 46. Play a shitty version of a humongously difficult DT song at a Battle of the Bands-type contest. Metropolis Part 1 or Dance of Eternity are both good choices, as is Erotomania. 47. When your band ends up last, shift all blame over to the judges; hey, they have no idea what good music is! Why else would they let that boring pop band win? 48. Talking about starting playing an instrument; always start with the most technically difficult song you know. Remember, this is a testament to your immense talent, so be sure to mention this on every internet community you happen to frequent. 49. When are you able to play something at half speed very sloppy, proudly state that you "nail" the song in question. 50. People are bound to ask for a recording of the feat mentioned in rule 49. However, you are not able to provide it to them, because a) your recording equipment got dissolved by digestive acid yesterday, you don't need to prove anything to people. Your word should be good enough c) you don't know anything about computers (even though you sit by one most of the day), as you spend most of your day practicing your instrument. 51. Tool is NOT prog. If anyone insists they are, kill them. 52. Hate Falling into Infinity. If the feeling that you actually enjoy FII(even the "proggier" songs like TOT)sneaks up on you during a glitch of concentration, remind yourself that DT sold out. 53. Actually, state that DT sold out on every good occasion. This means every time their name is mentioned. 54. Don´t be John Arch. Insist that any pre-Alder Fates is 100% not prog. 55. Do not move on stage. Don't under any circumstances forget that nobody at prog concerts pays attention to the audience, including the band. 56. The best songs are those that are over 15 minutes, have multiple named sections, and have solos by everyone in the band INCLUDING the drummer. 57. Accuse anyone who disagrees with you regarding rule 56 of lacking musical inteli...Yeah, you've got it now, haven't you? 58. Never ever under any circumstances say "Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence ruled." 59. Never let anyone tell you that Dave Weckl is better than any prog metal drummer. If they still insist, don't kill them, but rather put on the Mike Portnoy drum solo from 1993's "Live in Tokyo" vid, which still today is the benchmark for good drumming, REGARDLESS of genre. 60. It would still be a good idea to have that gun ready, though. 61. Drummers: Huge kits are MANDATORY!!!! If all you have is a 4-piece with 3 crappy cymbals, then you don´t belong on stage. A 5-piece single bass drum kit is the bare minimum and even that´s on the edges of bare bones. If you have a tiny kit BUY MORE DRUMS AND CYMBALS!!!!!!! 62. No, 6 toms are not enough, MORE DRUMS AND CYMBALS!!!! 63. Reform with old members and release an album intended to make up for years of bad reception from fans (see Yes) or claim your next album will be a return to past glory (see Queensryche). If it flops, be sure to blame a producer or record company. 64. When someone asks you why prog metal isn't more popular if it is so darned good, tell them that it is because "it is over the mainstream peoples heads". 65. Talent = Technical skill. Hail any band with lightning-speed solos for their immense talent. 66. Publicly state that your band is non-religious, then make many religious and/or spiritual allusions in the lyrics. 67. Stress your openmindedness. State that you like all forms of music, except lower forms of music like pop, rock 'n roll, blues, techno, trance, rap. 68. Accuse fans of the aforementioned genres of not being openminded. 69. Get a Kurzweil. As the undisputed <<>>, Jordan Rudess plays it, you have no choice but to get one yourself, no matter what synthezisers you actually like. ALL BOW TO THE MIGHTY 88-KEY <<>> KURZWEIL!!! 70. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-KURZWEIL!!!!(Futuruma fans will know what I'm talking about) 71. Show off with your equipment. Show off with your playing/singing. Show off with your *ahem* length. Show off with your girlfriend. Show off with anything you can think of. Show off with your DOG for god´s sake. 72. Get a dog. 73. Play air-drums or air-guitar at concerts. This will make sure that other prog fans recognize your immense talent. 74. Stuck in song-writing? Insert a part with a slow single-note gallop rhythm where the singer yells "ENTER THE SUUUNNNNNNNN" several times. 75. Note that you can substitute "ENTER THE SUUUNNNNNNNNN" for either of the following: "FATHER, MY ADOLESCENCY IS AGONNNNNYYYYYYY" or "THE APPARITION DIVIIIIIINNNNEEEE". All three are suitable choices. 76. What do you mean, you haven't trigged your bassdrum? 77. Remember, faster=more progressive. Slow songs cannot be progressive, best example would be Pink Floyd. 78. If anyone says PF are prog, kindly refer them to rule 1 while you prepare to do a "Varg", so to say. 79. During recording, make sure that you accuse the producer, the recording engineer and half of your band of not playing the song properly at least once. 80. Make sure your album cover contains either a psychedelic computer-drawn image, a lavish painting with mythological figures, or is illustrated by Travis Smith. 81. Write epics. 82. In case you didn't know, epics must be about adolescency, concerning a legend, or a deep dystopian tale where a cheesy fictional city/world/pizza shop serves as a metaphor for this world. 83. Have racks with loads of equipment. 84. Have racks without equipment. Who is going to see them if you don't display them? 85. No intro for your song? Insert a single-note broken rhythm accented on the snare, with shifting keyboard chords underneath. 86. Refuse to lend prog CDs to mainstream friends. When asked why, tell him/her that (s)he "will understand when (s)he matures" 87. When playing ANY gig, from the lowliest bar to the most gargantuan arena, be sure that no member of the audience will leave without having heard every lick you are able to play. 88. Have at least 5 solo spots during a concert. 89. In case you have forgotten while reading this, prog metal is intelligent music for intelligent people. 90. No, Marillion is not prog. I kindly refer you to rule 20. 91. BOOOM!!! 92. Buy new albums from past prog-greats. 93. When they turn out to be crap and nothing like the old albums, hit yourself in the head with a hammer until you like them. 94. Hold that there is no bad prog, only DIFFERENT. 95. Of course, that only applies to bands you like. See Rule 1. 96. In case you wondered, Dream Theater is and will always be the benchmark for prog metal. The more something sounds like Images and Words, the more progressive it is. 97. Proclaim Rule 96 to people with a straight face in all seriousness. This is not optional. 98. Have side-projects. Make sure that all side-projects consist of pointless jamming over endless repetitions of clicheed riffs. 99. Make sure that at least one of your side-projects feature Mike Portnoy on drums. 100. If you cannot get Mike Portnoy, get someone who sounds like him. 101. You mean you have been reading this when you could have been practicing along to Metropolis Part II or composing a sidelong epic? For shame!!!! @ .немања. Брате 'де си нашао оно са принцезом и змајем-вришт'о сам од смеха

Sodomize anything that is not male. (Fuzzy things look out!) 21. Make sure your album goes out of print about 3 years after its release... so it becomes 'cult'. 22.

Don't eat Marshmellow Peeps. 36. To producers of black metal albums: remember...no low end! If it doesn't hurt to listen to, it can't be "true". 37. Make sure that no less than half of the musicians on your album are "session" members. 38. When in concert, always growl names of songs so that they are imperceptible. This will ensure that anyone who doesn't have your "cult" LP won't get it. 39. Never play live. 40. When getting ready to go to a show, completely forget that the other people there are not going to the show to look at you. 41. Use barbed wire whenever possible. (Note: this assists in being both "necro" and "grim".) 42. When asked by a non true BMer what BM is, say something like, "BM is the raw essence of pure black evil in man", in any case, make sure that by the conversations end, the other person still has no idea what black metal is. 43. Drive one of your band members to suicide, and claim he died because of the "mainstream" "infecting" the "scene". 44. Reform with "old members" and release an album intended to produce commercial success. 45. When it flops say that you meant it to fail cause anything less wouldn't be "true". 46. Have a side project. Ensure that all other members of your band also have side projects. 47. Fill out the other slots in your other member's side projects as "session" musicians. 48. Record everything in the same studio with the same producer/instruments/equipment/etc. 49.

(See rule 1) 63. Never divulge to any outsiders the Exact Day of the Divine Arrival of the Massive Hoof. Instead, inform them that they should be ready to suck the Dark Lord's greasy @#%$ at any time. 64. Use the phrase "suck the dark lord's greasy @#%$" whenever possible. 65. If you ever find that you have somehow become a member of Hecate Enthroned, be sure to piece together a music video of scrap footage of yourself walking around in the woods at night looking evil. Only, instead of being night make sure it's the middle of the @#%$ day, and instead of looking evil, look dorky instead. (See also: rule 1) 666. Own hundreds of black metal albums, demos and bootlegs. Listen to approximately 8 of them regularly. 67. Humping a ceramic Virgin Mary in front of your uncle's house is not "pimping it" (unless you tell her you're done then blow in her face like a shotgun when she turns around). 68. Refrain from using keyboard smilies when communicating via the Internet. Single acceptable smily: -( 69. Why isn't the word "Northern" in your album title yet!? Get to it! Amatuers... 70. Spelling things correctly is neither grim nor necro. 71. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!! 72. No matter where you're from, pretend you're from Norway and therefore 'true'. 73. Don't be Dani Filth. (I think that's clear) 74. All pets you own now will henceforth be known as "Crucifier". Any pets you own in the future will also be known as "Crucifier". 75. True black metaller: "Many of our dark hymns are influenced by the mighty Tolkien... You have not read the works of Tolkien!? Nerd. Wait a minute... It appears I am the nerdy one after all!" 76. @#%$, I'm talking to myself again. 77. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!! 78. That's better, on with the interview! 80. Create inverted crosses in all possible instances. Suggested tools: Drum sticks, twigs, pool cues, pencils, etc. (See also "clouded frost spire") 81. Profess publicly that you are a Satanist and add that you are in touch with Norway's ancient Pagan past. Pretend that somehow those two facts make sense in conjunction. 82. Stick your dick in the mashed potatoes. 83. Don't make Beastie Boys references. 84. Don't make references. 85. Satanus. Huh huh huhuhuhuh. 86. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuh. 87. If possible, design the title of your album so that it consists of three completely unrelated words. Dimmu Borgir are the master of this (i.e. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Spiritual Black Dimensions, Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, Godless Savage Garden) but you may also want to refer to Immortal's "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism". 88. As we all know, women have no place in the homoerotic world of black metal, but if your girl friend still won't stop bugging you about wanting to be involved in your band, give her a lame spoken word part or something. 89. Never form a band containing you, your wife and/or girlfriend, and some gay looking guy. (See also: rule 11) 90. Go to bed when your mom tells you to. 91. If it's rare, it must be good. Order it immediately. 92. I will not add that as it is not metal enough. 93. Are you metal enough to be reading this? 94. Own every Darkthrone release. Listen to exactly none of them. 95. Own cult-as-@#%$ shirts of bands you not only own no releases of, but also haven't even heard. 96. Use the phrase "cult-as-@#%$" whenever possible. 97. Attempt to randomly throw the word "@#%$" during random segments of your songs. (Kindly refer to Attilla's work on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas.) 98. In order to make your recording more incomprehensible and therefore more "cult", be sure to either select a singer who has only a tenuous grasp on the language to be sung. (Acceptable languages: Norwegian, Latin, Orcish.) 99. I'll tell you what your album lay out needs...Some titties. 100. And you know what else? How long since you acted like a troll? Pick up that makeup and fight, soldier! 101. You mean to tell me you read this whole thing when you could've have been prancing about in the forest with an axe? For shame! For shaaaaame!!

Још ми кажите да нисте ово читали... 101 Rules Of Power Metal 1. You have one goal: be epic. 2. Let no sound be lonely. If there's a guitar solo, harmonize it. If there's singing, make it a choir. 3. Keyboards offer a way to add thousands of different textures to a song. Find two of those that you like and use them on every song you write. 4. In a power metal world, everything steel is good, and anything good must be compared to steel. 5. You are not bound to sing about Satan, evil, and/or darkness. 6. You are bound to sing about dragons, freedom, and/or power metal. 7. Remember how no sound should be alone? Same goes for albums. Everything can have a sequel! 8. You are allowed to be blonde. 9. Swords enhance your credibility and your performance. Be sure to carry one regardless of whether or not you know anything about using one. 10. Pick a theme and stick to it. Manowar are warriors of true metal, and they don't get to sing about anything else. Rhapsody has their Algalord chronicles. Hammerfall has their steel, hammers, and templar. Running Wild has pirates. Blind Guardian has Tolkein. None of them are allowed to sing about anything else. 11. If you have to sing about something else, put together a side project to do it. Avantasia is the perfect model. 12. Ballads are permissible. 13. That doesn't mean your ballads can suck. 14. The longer a song is, the more epic it is. See rule #1. 15. More solos means more epic. 16. If at all possible, be Michael Kiske. 17. If this is not possible, pretend to be Michael Kiske. 18. Your album cover should include at least one of the following: fire, steel, weird glowing magical items, irregularly muscular men, fists thrust into the air, weaponry, magic creatures (preferably dragons), or bright beams of light around somebody/something. 19. 'Grim' and 'necro' don't apply here; they just make you look silly. Now go back to singing your 20 minute epic about dragonslaying! 20. Power metal depends on power chords. 21. 16th notes are the only notes. 22. Unless you're singing, in which case you are not permitted to hold a note for any less than 2 bars. 23. Keyboards get solos, too. 24. If you can't be Michael Kiske, you can at least be Timo Tolkki. 25. Actually, don't be Timo Tolkki. 26. In case you didn't know, "symphonic" is synonymous with "epic." See rule #1. 27. Just because 300 bands before you have already done "epic," there's always room for more. 28. Songs come in two tempos: metal and ballad. 29. You are officially the only group of people who can refer to themselves as 'mighty' without being laughed at. Much. 30. Audiences need to be able to sing along. Make it catchy. 31. Sing in English, even though your fan-base will be comprised entirely of Brazilians, Germans, Japanese, Swedes, and Finns. See rule #30: if it's not catchy, it's harder to sing in a language that is not your first. 32. Play in as many bands as possible. More side projects and guest appearances means more epic! 33. Tight. Pants. 34. You don't have to detune your guitars. 35. Though you probably should drop them a half-step. 36. Unfortunately, you need at least two guitar players. How else are you going to have dueling guitar solos? 37. Keyboards may substitute for one guitar player, as long as they can solo. 38. Fortunately, you don't need a bass player! Or at least, you never have to use the same bassist twice. 39. Begin all songs with one big swelling chord on the keyboard. 40. Acoustic guitars are allowed. Sometimes. 41. It's not a tour, it's a crusade! 42. Layer your vocals, hundreds upon hundreds of times. Don't worry about them live. 43. Never use mundane words in your lyrics. Nothing is epic if you don't use words like "majesty," "glorious," "magical," and so on. 44. Wizards! You need wizards! 45. Although your costume does not require corpse paint, it will require a cape, lots of jewelry, and the aforementioned swords. 46. Unless you are Manowar, in which case you are too metal for clothing. 47. Come to think of it, don't be Manowar. 48. Wear armor if at all possible. Hammerfall can give you an idea of the variety of acceptable armors, ranging from leather to ring-mail. 49. Songs don't begin at full speed. Gradually work your way into an epic frenzy. 50. Hail true metal! 51. Acoustic guitars are for intros and bridges. Then crush them with steel. 52. Epic. Tight. Pants. 53. Higher vocals are epic vocals. Female lead singers are great for this. 54. So, male lead singes should sound like female singers. See rule #52. 55. True warriors can tell the difference between albums. 56. Concept albums are totally epic. Nobody will ever see it coming. 57. Liner notes must include pages of backstory, either of your epic saga of conquest over dragons and evil or of your epic battles with alcoholism while recording the album. 58. Drugs aren't metal. 59. Beer, however, can be served in all kinds of true metal ways. 60. "Flagons of ale." It's appropriate to your fantasy-riddled lyrics, and it almost looks like "dragons," so you score extra points. 61. Since you can't get away with grunts, growls, and other troll-like noises, you will have to sing. 62. Your accent will show as a consequence. 63. To compensate, sing about killing trolls. Preferably with the swords that you carry onstage. 64. More sequels = more epic. See rule #7. 65. Guest vocalists, guest guitarists, and any special appearances from outside your band will make your sound more epic, even if the track sounds just like all the other songs on the album with an extra solo. 666. Norsk Arysk Blak Metal! Rahhh!!! 67. Begin songs at half-tempo, and then, when listeners least expect it (i.e. at exactly the same time it happens in all your other songs) kick into full speed complete with double-bass and power chords. 68. Bass players: one note. Really fast. 69. But include one enormous crazy-ass bass fill before the chorus, even though the production will bury you so far in the mix that most people won't realize your band has a bass player. 70. Just because you don't play black metal doesn't mean you can't use Tolkein. 71. Whenever you short of ideas, pick up your Dungeons and Dragons books. You might as well be the first band to sing about owlbears. 72. Never leave Europe. 73. For purposes of rule #72, Japan may be counted as part of Europe. 74. Oh, and South America was colonized by Europeans, so it can count too. 75. Orchestras make a great addition to your album. Since you can't afford one, find a new patch on your keyboard. 76. If your live album does not have the crowd singing all the harmony parts for you, you aren't epic enough to justify a live album. 77. If you are European, use as many archaic English words in your lyrics as you can. Obfuscation is epic! 78. If you are South American, your lyrics should be closer to standard English, though nobody will ever read them. 79. If you are U.S. American, you probably aren't actually a power metal band. Sing about tanks, or something. 80. If you are Italian, write some lyrics in Latin. Your American fans won't be able to tell the difference between your Italian lyrics and your Latin ones, but Latin is epic. 81. Remember, shaving is epic, haircuts are not. 82. Entire albums must be recorded in the same key. 83. For that matter, entire careers may also be recorded in the same key. 84. Guitarists, remember: dun da-da dun da-da dun da-da… 85. Make your band logo very angular, but perfectly legible. 86. More than a logo, you need a mascot. 87. He need not be distinguishable from Eddie, but he does need to be on all your album covers. 88. At your first gig, if you feel a "rising force", do be sure not to get it all over your audience. 89. Record your best songs unplugged, and sell them as an EP. 90. Do not expect anyone to buy the EP. 91. Remember, power metal fans are not gay. They are just comfortable with their masculinity. 92. Sing along. 93. Don't get caught singing along. 94. Glitter is not epic. 95. Neither is body oil. See rule #47. 96. If you see a black metaller in the woods pretending to be a troll, see rule #9 and rule #63. 97. In your liner notes, thank everybody you toured with, even if they're Stratovarius. 98. Complain about Stratovarius constantly even though you've bought all their albums and listen to them more than anything else in your collection. 99. Power metal must be pure; do not mix it with other metal styles. 100. To repeat: be epic. 101. I ran out of funny things to say way back at rule #52, but any less than 101 rules would so not be epic.

Give them a spiky pop-punk haircut while they sleep. 29. Pronounce "Celtic Frost" correctly. 30.

Tell them you're not hiring and to try the other Cinnabon down the street. 32. Sit quietly and applaud politely at a metal show. 33. Make them be sober for five whole seconds. 34. Ask if Randy Rhoads was on the same flight as John Denver. 35. Tell them Korn brought metal back to life in the 90s. 36. Turn the bass way up on their stereo. 37. Laugh at Slayer for stealing their name from the Buffy show. 38. Call Doro fat. 39. Call them on their horrible grammar and/or spelling. 40. Remind them that metal is partially derived from the blues. Then accuse them of being widgets. 41. Use the phrase "balls in a vice" at least three times when talking about classic metal and/or power metal vocalists. 42. If it's a guy with long hair, address him as if he were female. Don't correct yourself about it. 43. Be impressed with how much RoadRunner Records has improved over the past ten years. 44. Say you love Metallica's debut, The Black Album. (lol!) 45. Notice that Lemmy hasn't moved his left hand in 30 years of playing bass. Haha. 46. Refer to metal as "that kill-your-father rape-your-mother stuff." 47.

Tell them you used to be a metalhead, but grew out of it when you started listening to more intellectual stuff like... 50. Post a list of "Ways To Annoy Metal Fans" knowing full well that so many of them internalize everything and can't take a joke. (just jokes, guys! They're just jokes!) П.С.
