How to be Metal?

Sign in to disble this ad
So I was messing around, and get this yall. Wikipedia has a seperate site that is just full of how to guides. Among these guides is a guide on how to be metal. I have a weird since of humor so I thought it was funny.

Was this written by Tipper Gore? Any adherence to such 'guidelines' would likely result in a swift shanking by a good many metal afficianados I've encountered.
Number 3 was my personal favorite:
"Being a metal scenester is quite easy. Just grow your hair out , wear the most obscure metal band shirt you own, and plain jeans. being in a metal band is good, though many people do not have the time to practice 5 hours a day."
Fantastic.

I think I'll write an article on how to be in a gang.

I'm from a white lower-middle-class family and live in the suburbs. I've never held a gun and don't even drink. But I've played GTA a few times.

I think that qualifies me.

I would SOOO join your gang.

Hurry, invent a sign we can do with our fingers!

How about an "ok" like motion, but all our other fingers are strait up so we form a " b " for bass.

everyone knows that to be truly metal you need to raid as many fetish shops as possible and deck yourself in leather and metal studs

Realize that playing and singing death metal requires enormous practice and skill. Even bass players, who don't do the complex leads and melodies associated with death metal guitar, cite to have practiced one piece of music for at least a full year just for a mere audition.

Haha, a full year of practice, are you kidding me. I mean with the simple lines we play one can master them in no more the 5 months.

LOL! Yah, so maybe in 7 years they will be able to go on tour once the bass player catches up with all the material!
