Top 10 Things that Change When You Become a Metal Fan

This list isn't supposed to be taken very seriously although it may contain things addressing serious aspects of becoming a metal fan.

The Top Ten

1 You don't think Nirvana is the heaviest band ever

No one I know would say this, and all of them don't listen to much heavy songs.

2 Lady Gaga's Heavy Metal Lover isn't your favorite metal song anymore

3 You don't think Michael Jackson's Thriller is the scariest song ever

4 You don't think Ringo Star is the best drummer ever

5 You don't like many songs you liked before

Currently I even wonder how I liked some songs.

6 Pop music suddenly loses its appeal

7 You don't think Michael Jackson has the most powerful voice ever

Because you already heard much more powerful voices in metal

No one would say this

8 You don't think AC/DC is metal

9 You don't think Jimmy Page is the best guitarist ever

Because you have heard many guitarists that are better.

10 You don't pee your pants anymore

I started to like metal when I was 8. I stopped listening to music for about 2 years, when I was eleven I started to again and my music taste evolved from there into what it is today.

Yes, because people don't become metal fans at 3, 5, 7 or even 10. Metal music is a choice people usually make at a later phase of life.

The Contenders

11 The singers you liked before don't sound good to you anymore

This happened to me - after Rob Halford, Dio, Hansi, Michael Kiske and some other brilliant metal singers, I began noticing the flaws in the vocal technique of many rock/hard rock singers I liked before.
And I am not even talking about the autotuned "singers".

12 You prefer Johan Hegg's burps over Michael Jackson's hiccups
