- kmattso, on 11/30/2008, -0/+24Biggest offenders: Texas Longhorn fans.
- emailowndme, on 11/29/2008, -1/+23I am staunchly pro metal hand sign and the seriousness thereof.

- Neemzor, on 11/30/2008, -0/+15"If your head is neither banging nor thrashing, you should not be throwing the sign," Butler said. "It's that simple."
- superlantern, on 11/29/2008, -2/+17Something Must be done to correct this!
- oblique63, on 11/30/2008, -0/+11you know it's bad when you can't tell an Iron Maiden fan from a sports fan
- Shuk, on 11/30/2008, -1/+11Dugg for indictment of Lars Ulrich.
- guitarplayer673, on 11/30/2008, -0/+9Dio must have taken a day off from the council the day of the interview...
- hurrayforschool, on 11/30/2008, -1/+9We're going back to the one finger salute.
- PeanutCheeseBar, on 11/30/2008, -2/+10The abuse and overuse of those who inappropriately use the metal hand sigh decidedly does NOT rock.
- DivisibleByZero, on 11/30/2008, -0/+7"former Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine"? The Onion needs to do their research. Megadeth was split-up for a while there, but were back by the time this article was written in 2005. Of course practically none of the original lineup was there, but Dave Mustaine was the one constant.
- TheWriteGuy, on 11/30/2008, -2/+9`m/, ( >_< ) .`m/
- nathanwalker, on 11/30/2008, -0/+6\m/
- TheResistless, on 11/30/2008, -0/+6They only consult Dio when the worst things are happening in Metal, such as when rap metal started to become popular.
- Jaliyl, on 11/30/2008, -0/+6This article has more references than half a season of Metalocalypse. Rock on Onion m/
Its ok, I'm listening to Manowar.
(dammit digg, why does backslash not work?) - CoolSilver, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5Metalocalypse needs an episode over this. "That is not Metal" or "That is totally Metal"
- chudgoo, on 11/30/2008, -2/+7Even Bush has been seen doing it. Hookem horns is *****.
If flippin a Goat has lost it's kick, you can always pull the DoubleGoat.
(make two fists. extend pinkies.connect fists) - KevinAndAlexRoc, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5Yes but boobs do rock.
- PabloIV, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5I'll tell you one thing...
This article was metal

AKA too much metal for one hand. - TrevorBelmont, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5No.
If we are to take him at his word, the horns found their way to the metal community via Ronny James Dio's grandmother. She was an "old world" type of woman and would use that sign to show disapproval and scorn. Like a low level curse or an imparting of "bad mojo". - moxley, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5Best..Onion...article......in years.
- jayrok, on 11/30/2008, -0/+5I thought this said "mental hand sign", to which I had a flashback to the early 90's when kids would go around elementary school thumping their chests going "duhhh!!!".
- bigfatphony19, on 11/30/2008, -0/+4If you go to ANY rock concert now you see metal hands.
Anyone who has ever m/'d at a Maroon 5 or Coldplay concert needs to go ***** themselves.
(Also, m/ for mentioning Geezer) - inactive, on 11/30/2008, -1/+5Bush is a metalhead.
- steviesteveo, on 11/30/2008, -0/+4Personally if a sign ever becomes self mocking and ironic, then you're in trouble and should give it up.
For example - the swastika is a genuine Hindi religious symbol but, you know what? The Nazis ruined it, let them have it.
Just as so, 8 year old schoolyard wannabe skaterkids - nathanwalker, on 11/30/2008, -0/+4"A contingency of death rockers from Gothenburg, Sweden recommended that any sign abuser, or anyone who is not sufficiently metal, should be forced to eat his severed hand while having his eyeballs burned with a superheated metal crucifix, and then be slowly skinned alive."
Metal. - nathanwalker, on 11/30/2008, -0/+3Imagine how hard it is to be in the local metal scene in Austin.
- nik15, on 11/30/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Lemmy and Geezer Butler
- DivisibleByZero, on 11/30/2008, -0/+3Jesus is ***** Metal as well:
http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/08/04/ - melance, on 11/30/2008, -0/+3I think that Dio claims it is a way to revoke an evil eye from someone.
- nik15, on 11/30/2008, -0/+3He just killed it
- FKnight, on 11/30/2008, -0/+23 posts and we already hit Nazis.
- omnithought, on 11/30/2008, -0/+2I have performed a study under the auspices of Vice Chairman Bruce Dickinson as well as Satantors Halford and Dio and have found, to their approval, that the state of Texas is responsible for roughly 22% of all non-metal horns-throwing and must be therefore obliterated.
Up the Irons. - inactive, on 11/30/2008, -3/+5Something Metal be done to correct this!
- statrick, on 11/30/2008, -0/+2the all seeing eye!!!!
onion wins again - FKnight, on 11/30/2008, -0/+1Sister Says:
Oh, would that my words were written down
Would that they were inscribed on a record
That with an iron fist and led zeppelin
They were cut in the rock forever
But as for me, I know that heavy metal lives
And that it will at last stand forth upon the dust
That I myself shall see
My own ears not another's shall behold it
And from my flesh I shall see it rock
My inmost being is consumed with longing
This is the word of the rocker - satanikus, on 11/30/2008, -0/+1The "swastika" is still used as a legitimate mark for Buddhist temples in Asian countries.
- nofate2029, on 11/30/2008, -1/+2wait, is that jason newsted? because if it is...he's not metal at all
- tdclark23, on 11/30/2008, -1/+2It is not his head where the metal is located. Look farther south on his anatomy for the lead.
- jayrok, on 11/30/2008, -0/+1Nope, just your run-of-the-mill North American elementary school.
- qwertyxuiop, on 11/30/2008, -0/+1explained herein
http://www.metalhistory.com/metal01.html - polexia, on 12/11/2008, -0/+1isn't this like 5 years old?
its funny anyhow - tgc1, on 11/30/2008, -0/+1I'm not talking the metal origin. I'm talking the use of the horns gesture. It's been around for a lot longer than metal has.
- TheOther1, on 11/30/2008, -2/+3At that point, just throw "The Shocker"
- EricCiccone, on 12/03/2008, -0/+1actually the 'swastika' you speak of is reversed, same idea just different direction
