1. Tell them every metal band worships the devil.
2. Ask if all black metal bands are trying to copy KISS or just most of them. 3. Hide their joint under their library card. 4. Ask if they know of any other cool bands like Slipknot. 5. If they're listening to metal, tell them it sounds like some mainstream band. Doesn't matter who. 6. Say it's all a ripoff of Iron Butterfly anyway. 7. Ask if they've given their souls to Jesus yet. 8. Vaguely imply that you're gay and would like their company for the evening. 9. Record over their Cannibal Corpse albums with other Cannibal Corpse albums and see if they ever notice the difference. 10. Refuse to accept their fake I.D. 11. Ask how much Dio got paid for his role as Stuart Little. 12. Use the phrase "cookie monster vocals" and act like it's the funniest, most original thing you've ever come up with. 13. If they're listening to metal, tell them "These guys don't have talent. Now (insert any mainstream band here), those guys have talent!" 14. Say "What is vinyl?" 15. Point out how homosexual Manowar is. If they agree, tell them the only thing more homosexual is Black Sabbath with Dio. 16. Tell them it all sounds the same. 17. Admit that Cliff Burton was a dirty hippy who had already peaked musically. 18. If they say they love 80s metal, ask them what ever happened to Poison. 19. Tell them you like underground music too, like (insert the newest overhyped fashionable loud-ish band from the radio) 20. Point out that Tarja from Nightwish can't sing. 21. Insist that Emperor videos would be better if they used a dance troupe. 22. Ask if Mayhem is Marilyn Manson's band. 23. Divert their CD shipments to the local Jewish community center. 24. Write "God Loves You" on their Venom backpatch. 25. Point out that just about every genre of music has an underground with bands who have integrity, so metal really isn't that unique. 26. Post under their nickname on a power metal board and say Ray Alder nutss all over John Arch. 27. Take out the Iron Maiden disc and put in 50 Cent. 28. Give them a spiky pop-punk haircut while they sleep. 29. Pronounce "Celtic Frost" correctly. 30. If they're over 25, say that people can still rock even if they have an unplanned child or two and drive a grocery getter. Then point and laugh. 31. 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 w**ggers. 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. 45. Notice that Lemmy hasn't moved his left hand in 30 years of playing bass. 46. Refer to metal as "that kill-your-father rape-your-mother stuff." 47. Ask them if their favorite band is so good, how come nobody has ever heard of them. 48. Pine for the good old days when Pour Some Sugar On Me was a big hit. 49. Tell them you used to be a metalhead, but grew out of it when you started listening to more intellectual stuff like (insert any band at all here) 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. Can you come up with another ways??

I love it. Especially the one about Roadrunner Records. What a loss
Well I�m annoyed by people who get annoyed at me for participating in moshpits at metal concerts. So I guess a sentence like this would pretty much piss me off: "please stand still I�m trying to enjoy the music" It�s muscle, sweat and a little good friendly violence and people who don�t understand that part of ( well especially extreme metal cultures) just don�t belong at extreme metal shows. Go to the back and enjoy the music if you�re afraid to get hurt.

Jonas, there are mosh pits and MOSH PITS. When I went to see Sepultura last year when they played in my town, they played in a big school stadium. The show was quite big (Mindflow and Angra played before them) and there were different kind of people in different parts of the show. During the presentation of the first two bands I was able to see them play quite confortably right in front of the stage. Predicting something would go on, right after they started to play I moved to the bleachers. Not much after that, the whole floor of the stadium became a huge mosh pit. Over a thousand people moshing through the whole 2 hours.
Not that I don't like them, it's just that big ones scare me do death .

The one thing that annoys me the most is when people call Metal music Screamo because of harsh vocals. Really, do Shade Empire sound like frickin' Shikari to you?

Now that we have opened the legendary Just for Fun section, I think this thread will sit even better there.

It's funny you think that, because I lost part of my enjoyment at an Opeth concert because people were moshing. I absolutely can't stand it. You're supposed to go to a concert to enjoy the live experience (the focus being the music), not beat the sh*t out of other people. I feel just as strongly about it, only in the opposite direction. |

That pisses me off too. It really sucks when you have to explain it to people that it's metal, not screamo. Sometimes the bands aren't even screaming, they're probably doing more of a death growl.
The opposite also pisses me off, when screamo bands are called metal

Lost respect for these archives when I saw Creed added, among other bands. Not going to be foruming here anymore. You can keep my reviews if you want.

52. When people tell you to go and cut yourself like some sort of emo kid.
Metal =/= Emo. Emo's are looking for attention most of the times (Atleast the ones on my school) Headbanging metalheads are always having fun and are some of the most accepting people in the world imo. |

True quotations from some other parents I knew, Not mine BTW:
"I feel like I'm on drugs after that" (refering to Nirvana's "You Know you're Right") "Ahhh that's nice track, is is called Silence?" (after the song finishes) Turns out they hate heavy metal, Nirvana heavy metal?? They think so anyway |

My ex-girlfriend told me that Nile sounded 'just like slipknot' when I was driving her to work the other day. Hence ex-girlfriend =P.
I'm not really one to get annoyed about much musically but this was one rare exception. |
