Top Ten Things That Spring to Mind Whenever Anyone Mentions Heavy Metal

The Top Ten
1 Electric guitars The electric guitar is a type of guitar that unlike an acoustic guitar, is solid body instead of hollow. They use pickups and amps to produce sound that's audible from more than a few feet. They are mainly used in rock and metal music and in those genres are commonly the main instruments. A few notable electric guitarists are Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Chuck Berry.

7 Students

Students blast this stuff for 1 of 3 reasons
#1 there Really into Heavy Metal
#2 they don't Care

Depends on the students. I know many who aren't into metal.

8 Growling
9 Devil worshippers

We're not devil worshipers. We just like to rock out to the awesome music and enjoy the messages the metal song has to give you (and I know what you're all thinking now. All metal talks about is worshiping satan. No. There are a lot more metal songs about love stories, political stories, historical stories, fantasies, there are even metal songs that have positive messages and talk about being happy with life! ). Heck there's even Christian metal out there. Christian metal bands that worship god and jesus christ and try to help others. Now do you think metal is all just devil worship?

One of the stereotypes. Meaning, it isn't true, except for black metal.

Sorry. I am now a converted rock chick!

I'm a Christian.

10 Tattoos

It depends. Many things have changed over time. Currently some metal musicians don't have any visible tattoos. On average, rappers today probably have more tattoos than the metal guys.

The Contenders

15 Screaming

Yes, but keep in mind that it isn't only a metal feature - punk and hard rock also use it; the Beatles screamed a lot, too. Oh, and screamo is punk and not metal.

That's part of metal music.

18 Pretty good music

Heavy Metal is often pretty good, although Death Metal, Black Metal, and Screamo take some getting used to, but ANYTHING, repeat, ANYTHING is better than Rap.
