Nu metal

the genre where it seems that all new bands playing heavier forms of music gets thrown into. nu metal is metal with a bit of rap in it and maybe elements of other genres. limp bizkit and linkin park beeing two examples. slipknot, is NOT nu metal. slipknot only has tiiiiny elements of rap and they have scratching. but they also have enormously many elements of other sub-genres within metal. industrial, death etc... and for those of you saying nu metal sucks because it's commercialistic and crap, and then go on saying tha cradle of filth and dimmu borgir are real metal, well fuck you! dimmu and cradle are the most commercialist bands within the black metal genre. maybe not the old stuff but very much the new shit... maybe not easy for people in the US to know but if you live in like norway you know if you're a fan of metal. dimmu even had a commercial on tv..bwah..

nu metal aint that bad!

driving metal

When driving, the act of raising the index and pinkie fingers to give the metal horns while holding the top of the steering wheel with the rest of your hand.

I was driving along the other day, and I was rockin' some Mercyful Fate and started driving metal \m/\m/.

Real Metal

Heavy Metal that is true to its meaning, lyrical content and/or sound. Is by no means, exaggerated, humorous etc. Real Heavy Metal is ofcourse loud, but that alone isin't enough to be truely 'Metal'! Using Heavy and/or Metal in lyrics or title text too much would simply ruin the feeling. Heavy Metal is NOT a substitute term for Rock or Hard Rock! You don't use Heavy Metal, like Hard Rock bands would use the word Rock ( 'I Wanna Rock', 'Let There Be Rock') that is not an attitude of a Metalhead or Metal band! Not that they disregard it, but that Heavy Metal is not really the same as Hard Rock! And Again, real Heavy Metal should flirt with sin like Judas Priest, and/or the occult like Black Sabbath, glorify freedom and touch on subject matter that is 'heavy' or just profound, meaningful and interesting like Slayer-thats what makes it 'heavy'!

Real Metal: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Venom, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Danzig etc.

To sum it up, Black Metal that is not phony.

Emo Dork: "Wow, I love Immortal. That's some Tr00 Kvlt Metal right there."
Black Metal Dude: Go away, poser, and let me listen to some Gorgoroth"

Union Sheet metal worker

A person who has mastered the art of metal wizardry, can make miracles happen. Has the ability to make roofer mistakes disappear (AKA professional turd polisher). Also the only trade to make what they install, duct. Does the work right the first time. Welders are far Superior to pipe fitters (suck it).

Hey Jeff, i hired a few union sheet metal workers to hang the duct at the new building.

That's great Todd, i wouldn't want to freeze my ass off this winter because i hired someone else who didn't know what they were doing.
