55-tell them that you "love the metal" but whenever they play any just bitch and moan about it being "too loud" and how your not really into the whole black metal scene even tho its pantera thats playing.

56-anytime you hear nickleback throw up the horns and shout "metal rules" and do a weak headbang just to show how hardcore you really are

57-constantly go on about how your into metal but whenever someone starts to talk about the different bands try to change the subject to metallica and how you just dont understand what the problem is with their music and state "if it wasnt for metallica we wouldnt have korn"or slipknot whatever you think will piss em off more

58-whenever at a metal party always pick the black album as the one that turned you "hardcore" into metal then do a weak headbang with a weak horns up - Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:44am Edited: Mon, 25 Jun 2007 11:49am

In my experience, it doesn't take all that much to piss off metalheads, but here's a couple:

70. Crash a black metal show with your death metal band all in full KISS makeup & dresses, play a brutal/crushing set BUT break out in an impromptu a-capella version of Beth mid-way, then continue on as if nothing odd ever happened (causing vast indignation & confusion)
-courtesy of ZucKISS, 2006

71. Instead of paid stamps, carefully draw inverted crosses in thick black ink on the backs of hands at all the serious black metal shows so that when everyone's throwing up the horns at the end, you're left looking up at a sea of (right side up) crosses.
-courtesy of a certain, long gone Cobalt doorguy ('04/05)

Actually no one ever caught on to that one. If anyone ever tried to call him on it, he just said "look, its inverted to me", and they settled down, tho looking a little grumpy.
... those were the days. - Sun, 29 Jul 2007 7:20pm Edited: Sun, 29 Jul 2007 8:18pm

How can you list classical music influences for a metal band and not include Richard Wagner??? Anyways, for pissing off metal heads, and I've tried this one: 72.Listen to them play their newest riff then say, "Not bad, but I like it better the way Vivaldi did it." or 73. Tell them that Arch Enemy has some of the manliest vocals you ever heard. - Mon, 30 Jul 2007 10:19pm
