Things that are Metal...and things that aren't

Sign in to disble this ad
Not sure if its been done before. I was too lazy to search and don't care to. This thread is meant to be a humorous sidebar to some heavily populated and hotly debated threads about metal. Like it or not there are things that are cool in metal circles and things that aren't hence the metal stereotype. I remember in high school my metal head friends and I used to goof on the metal stereotype that we were a part of and used to come up with things that were metal and what wasn't.

Here's a couple of mine:

Things that are metal:

Fire
Explosions
Blood
Raw meat
Slutty girls
3 legged dogs
Looks of panic
Frowning
Bones

Things that aren't:

Flowers (unless they're dead, accompanied with guns or on a grave)

Smiling(unless its an evil smile)

Puppies(unless they're going to be flesh eating dogs from hell or they're dead and/or missing limbs)

Keep it fun

Falling off the drum riser. While drunk. And nailing a hooker.
Taking a dump outside the backdoor of the club (anybody can take a piss on the street, but a dump...)
Sleeping with two woman at once, and satisfying neither of them, but still bragging about it.
Mixing whiskey with cocaine and thinking; "Hey this a great idea! I bet I'm the first guy to think of this!"
Pissing in your pants on stage.
Anyone with a blood alcohol level above 3.0 that doesn't die.

Popcorn: NOT metal

Flamefest: IS metal

Like I said in the OP this is a sidebar meant to satirize Metal.
I like Metal but let's not pretend that stereotypes don't exist. They do and they didn't happen by accident.
If you can't poke fun at yourself your doomed.

If anybody wants to flame go here We got bumped for.....Pitbull?

or here Disproving Metal Stereotypes, or, "We're Not All Meat Heads"
