return “the Metal Horns” to their one true home and former metal glory!

What was once a symbol of solidarity and rebellion exclusively for a community of metal heads, has now become a casual symbol, signifying any modicum of success at anything or just something to do with your hands in any photo that isn’t a wedding picture or a mug shot (though I have seen the horns thrown in one or two wedding photos).

this is just WRONG , miley cyrus can't throw the horns, no way

more examples of misuse

Wow, that is wrong.. just so wrong. First Bush and now this. At least he had a proper reason for it since it was the culture from where he grew up in.

Ugh, I'm getting tired of Miley. Fuck her. She's not a Metal Head. She's not even a Rocker. She's a fucking Pop Drivel spewing talentless teenybopper. Take off your Iron Maiden shirt (yeah, she wears an Iron Maiden shirt), get over RadioHead snubbing you, stop declaring every band to be your "Rock Gods" ('Maiden is Heavy Metal, not Rock, you dumb bitch), and stop prancing around calling yourself a Rock Star. While we're at it, take off your Mötley Crüe shirt Megan Fox, we know you're not a Metal head.

About the site, it looks awesome. As for the Texan horns, those are the Hook 'em Horns. They're not devil horns, they're bull horns.

good site... but I think this thread was hi jacked by the pics of Miley...

Rock died when people started calling Britney Spears a rock star. Spears then copulated with its still quivering corpse. Thus Nickelback, Limp Bizkit and the rest were born from her poisonous womb.

BTW who's that creepy sunglasses dude with Miley Cyrus? Please let it be her 30 year old agent/boyfriend.

Yeah, its so metal to actually use the phrase teenybopper. Metal is rock, so I don't even know WTF you're talking about there. I honestly couldn't care who throws the horns. For all I know she rocks out to Pantera on a regular basis. Metal is silly too, and if you can't deal with the fact that its not meant to be taken so damn seriously you don't deserve to be a fan. What makes metal great is how over the top ridiculous it is, and that's where the fun is. Whiny metal fans easily get more annoying than the people they bitch about. And yes, on plenty of occasions I need to take my own advice.

i just heard Dee Snyder (he is the one that did the web site) talking about this on the Eddie Trunk Live! show

it is mostly tongue in cheek on Dee's part or at least somewhat since it was partly inspired by the Onion article

Oh, well that is kinda cool then. He definitely is someone that has fun with it, and doesn't take it so seriously. Plus, he was badass when he went to Congress, tight jeans and all, and actually was well spoken and did a good job of pointing out how stupid the people were being.

What does that have to do with anything? :hmm: Most Metalheads I know use that phrase.

Two different genres. I'm just going to leave it at that to keep from derailing the thread any more.

For all I know she rocks out to Pantera on a regular basis.

Pantera sucks.

Metal is silly too, and if you can't deal with the fact that its not meant to be taken so damn seriously you don't deserve to be a fan.

I think Black Metallers would disagree with you there.

And yes, on plenty of occasions I need to take my own advice.

. . .Okay. *shrugs*

You can't see the humor of using a phrase like teenybopper when complaining about something somehow disrespecting metal? That has got to be close to the least metal word ever.

You really are not trying to argue that metal is not a derivative/subgenre of rock, are you?

Actually, black metal is exactly what I'm talking about, it is over the top ridiculous. Only idiots take it further and do shit like murder over music.

And rock is derived from blues.. so I guess using your reasoning we should just call rock and metal blues instead as well?

"If your head is neither banging nor thrashing, you should not be throwing the sign," Butler said. "It's that simple."


From the Onion Article.

You're the one complaining about metal bands being referred to as rock gods. In no way was that derogatory, yet, you somehow thought so. I assume you like metal, so referring to a metal (which is a genre of rock, and despite you not liking it, so is Miley's pop music) band as rock gods is in fact entirely a complement.

What exactly disqualifies her from being allowed to be a fan of metal? I can't even play an instrument, or sing for shit, guess I shouldn't be allowed to be a fan of music.
