It's so accurate when it comes to modern metal, every bass note sounds like an inaudible explosion because bands are already tuning their guitars to F# or lower and the bassist thinks "hmm, I'll just tune an octave down, no problem". 😆
This whole thing was such a contradiction lmao "Be yourself" then later "Grow your hair out" "Metal doesn't mean you're a Satanist" then later "Wear clothing with Satanic imagery"
Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.
You wanna know what’s funny but also kind of sad? I finished covering Gojira’s Born For One Thing literally a couple days ago, and then my mom entered the room, and the moment she saw the cover image, as well as another image couple weeks earlier than then (Toothgrinder’s The House That Fear Built), she was angry and claimed that what I’m listening to is evil and that I’m glorifying Satan. The worst part is that I’m christian, so trying to convince her otherwise isn’t helping a whole lot. 😂 😔
yeah lol im christian and my parents are super strict. My dad got upset when i bought an ACDC shirt, said i was supporting satan. he'd have a fit if he found out im a metal fan
I agree with Christian metal being a thing. I DON’T however agree with metal being satanic. Any music that showed such acts, people wouldn’t really care about it or the music as much. So now I try not to listen to scary stuff around her.
"Try not to get offended when they assume that you're a Satanist or deranged in some way"...I won't get offended, I'll just quietly walk away and then summon my hoards of the devil spawn to annihilate them. 😆
Thank you so much for sharing the supernatural wisdom of WikiHow on how to be metal. Now I just need to order my black leather pants, satanic shirts, and steel toe boots.
So, even though I listen to everything from Iron Maiden to Death, I can't be considered a metalhead just because my hair's short. Thanks for destroying my credibility, Wikihow!

Hessians (US: /ˈhɛʃənz/ or UK: /ˈhɛsiənz/)[1] were German soldiers who served as auxiliaries to the British Army during the American Revolutionary War.[2] Britain had a small army, most of which were needed at home. It decided to rent regiments. Most governments refused, but several small German states such as Hesse had a reputation as "mercenary states" and rented regiments to the British for combat duty. The Revolutionaries often called the hired German soldiers "Hessians" and denounced them all as "mercenaries" who were not fighting for their native land.

If you r listening to Nickelback then u will be an Alternative Metal/Post Grunge lover… it is still a part of metal the mellow side of metal. A true metalhead will explore all geners of metal, enjoy the ride and respect the musicianship. The only way to be a real metalhead is enjoy the music try to update, should have an acceptable mind. 🤘🏾
Thanks ahaha. This is so funny. I can't believe some of these how too things from that site, but this one had me laugh so hard. Skull on Black tee ahaha. Ah man, I believe there is no how to be "insert genre" person because there are so many people who like so many different genres and it's hard to tell what someone is like just based on the music they like. Many people who like metal I have seen are smart and nice overall. Some metal people have not studied music theory, but I think it's helpful if you want to sound like some of those newer fusion prog dudes.
Isn't it like, how to have normal sense instead of like how to be a metalhead? Like, it says things like, don't judge, be patient to people who judge you, accept yourself, don't bring a gold bar to a concert or you will lose it etc.?
