Lead guitarist of DragonForce. Can't play his own songs live without missing 3/4's of the notes. Don't believe the live videos on youtube, those are just good ones, where you can't even tell how much he is messing up. The guitar is sped up in the studio, and corrected to the appropriate pitch so it sounds like he is playing that fast without the chipmunk sounding effect you get from speeding something up. But still sounds different than if you actually play that fast.
Even if he could play that fast he still isn't a good guitarist. He is ok, none of his riffs are that great, most attention doesn't come from his skill but his "speed".

Get the herman li mug.The middle finger of Metal heads.
The rock on sign upside down. Given as a rude gesture to mostly people wearing Slipknot shirts, and shirts of other gay Metal bands. It is basically saying the opposite of "Rock on".

I saw this kid at the mall in a Slipknot shirt, and I gave him the upside down rock on sign. Then he ran away and cried.

Get the upside down rock on sign mug.A term for a person who is an active listener of Death Metal. Usually Death Metal is the only genre they listen to and they condemn all other music. Usually Power Metal, Nu-Metal, Rap, and Emo. Most Death Metallers heard so much as 10 seconds of a song in each of those genres, or just hate them because another Death Metaller hates them.
Usually Death Metallers are anti-social. They believe that listening to Metal makes them superior to anyone who doesn't. They take music way too seriously, they never talk to anyone who likes music other than Death Metal. So usually they have few or no friends. So they talk on Metal forums such as the Ultimate Metal forum. Conversations on those forums are usually about Metal, how everything besides Metal sucks, and how everyone is an idiot for making fun of them for liking Death Metal. Death Metallers are usually assholes to you if you don't like Death Metal, if you talk to one about music other than Death Metal you will most likely get a "you're fucking retarded". It is hard to talk to a Death Metaller about anything other than music because thats all that they are interested in.
In short Death Metallers are usually narrow minded anti-social elitists.

Get the death metaller mug.The Fallout Boy of Metal. Loved mostly by 12 year olds, most fans grow out of liking them when they get in High School. The majority of their fans don't play guitar or are extremely bad at it (in terms of technical skill) and usually don't realize that speed is not some heavenly gift, it can be achieved by anyone.

Get the dragonforce mug.People who think they are better than everyone else.
In terms of social groups centered are music.
Most Metalheads, Classic Rock-heads Indie fans, and Hipsters are elitists.
Metalheads tend to think that taste in music is all that matters in the quality of a person. Also they think Metal is the ultimate music. So they think that people who listen to Metal are superior to those who do not.
Classic Rock-heads are the same way as Metalheads. They are a little more open minded but still elitists.
Indie fans think that unknown music is superior. They are not as strong about their musical taste as metalheads, but they still believe they are better than those who listen to bands everyone knows.
Hipsters tend to think those who don't listen to whats in are strange and different and therefore insuperior to them.
In terms of social groups not centered around music.
Jocks, and Preps are elitists.
Most Jocks believe anyone who sucks at sports and gets good grades are insuperior to them.
Some preps believe anyone who doesn't have a sense of fashion or isn't like them or everyone else is insuperior.

Get the elitist mug.An extremely talented band,
Keith Emerson is a God on the keyboard, piano,and synthesizer. He even plays two at the same time at live performances and in songs like Trilogy.
Greg Lake uses bass and is amazing in creating good synchronizations and bass-lines. Also his voice is very clear and can change pitch very smoothly.
Carl Palmer can create complicated drum beats and keep them in rhythm.
The band is very talented yet not many people know about them today, probably because they didn't have guitar (they were amazing without it) so stupid preps weren't all over them and screaming about them.
They are Gods so I recommend listening to Knife-Edge cause if you're the average person you will like it.

prep: This is Emerson, Lake & Palmer? Their guitar sounds weird.
ELP fan: That's synthesizer not guitar.
prep: It doesn't sound like the background music of rap songs.
ELP fan: Yeah, the person playing the synthesizer has talent. And the singer can pronounce Cadillac right.

Get the Emerson, Lake & Palmer mug.False or fake feminism.
When Women act or say they are self sufficient and don't need Men for happiness. Also striving for equal rights and equal
Basically being independent from Men's help and becoming self sufficient, yet not dismissing the social perks. Which if they did, would make them truly self sufficient.
Note: I am NOT saying that Women have no social disadvantages and that Men have no social advantages.

Female: I'm not going to have sex right now, I don't want to. I should not be treated as an object because I am a Woman. I am going to be strong, I don't need any help from Men to be happy.
Male: Ok. I think that is good.
Female: Good, hold my bags and come shopping with me, and my birthday is coming up, buy me a gift. $500 minimum.
Male: Cut the Pseudo-Feminism crap.
