metal head

One who listens and headbangs to all types of actual metal music, normally excluding Nu/Alt. metal such as Limp Bizkit or Disturbed. Metal heads have since died down in schools since the 90's. Metal heads are typically seen wearing jeans, a band t-shirt, and either long hair or buzzed head. Since most people to not understand the sub-genres of metal, metal heads are typically mistakened with goths.

metal head

A metal head has intense love for metal bands. They usually wear band tee shirts and jeans. Dont care too much about their appearence. We are quiet and keep to ourselves. Believe it or not most of us are inteligent. Most love to draw and are very artistic (such am i). Real metal heads listen to the classic bands such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica(old), Pantera, Megadeth, GN'R, and that shit. People who say their 'metal heads' who happen to listen to gay nu metal-slipknot, cradle of filth, ext. AREN'T true metal heads. Also, a true metal head wont come out and say 'im a metal head' We dont give a shit about what people think about us and quite frankly could care less. We're close to our friends aspecially the ones who respect us for who we are and dont care about what kinda music we listen to. Like i said before we keep to ourselves but are always up for a fight or to defend our music. ALOT of people mistake metal heads for EMO,GOTH, and PUNK which are very different from metal heads. Emos hate the world and cut themselves and listen to fall out boy *gag* and goths just crave the attention or are depressed. Punks like to pogo and listen to sex pistols and shit like that. Metal heads love life, have senses of humor, and are just fun to be around and rock out with! So for all you metal haters;GO BUY A FALLOUT BOY CD AND DIE!

Real Metal Head: IRON MAIDEN, Judas Priest, Black Sabath, KISS(old), Metallica(old), Pantera, Alice Cooper, and megadeth.

Your stereotypical (metal) head is some1 who is strong minded and physically tough, however this varies from person to person. A (metal) head listens 2 (heavy metal) bands ranging from (black sabbath) to (pantera).Metal heads can be seen with long hair or shaved heads. Metal heads USUALLY dont listen to nu metal bands such as (slipknot) or (system of a down). A metal head usually wears jeans, leather boots and a leather jacket, accompanied by collars with spikes/band names/logos on. Metal heads despise (chavs)/(emo's) and even tho metal heads are usually quiet people that just mind their own business they will happily defend themselves, and a small group of tru metal heads cud easily over power a large group of (chavs)/(emo's). Metal heads are known for having short tempers, however ofcourse this isnt always the case.

chav#1: oi! nobhead, u startin?

metal head

someone who appreciates heavy metal music with great enthusiasm. in order for one to truly appreciate heavy metal, they must observe all the aspects of the music, including the beat, lyrics, and effort which is exerted into the difficult solos by the performers. metal heads often listen to their music at high volume, especially in head phones. metal heads are very often biast against anything mainstream, especially music (like hip hop, because it lacks meaning and the musicians dont play their own instruments). metal heads tend to keep friends close, and do not connect with many people. metal heads are very commonly anti-conservatist. but the important part i knowing who is a real metal head, and who is not. people who describe some genres of metal like nu or alt to be any less metal than their hardcore counterparts are dead wrong. there is no such thing as fake metal, it is all real, but what you have to consider is that as time passes, music changes. nu and alt metal is what is leading to the metal of tomorrow, just like how metal was derived from the combination of rock and blues, which was sped up over time to sound hardcore. now i am not saying that you need to love nu and alt metal, but what i am saying is that you need to accept it (its better than that mainstream stuff isn't it?) for what it really is, the metal of tomorrow like how the metal of today is the blues and rock of yesterday.

here are a few band which i love and think that most metal heads should at least know:

metallica
slayer
anthrax
slipknot
all that remains
iron maiden
megadeth
korn
disturbed
as i lay dying
ozzy osbourne
black sabbath
judas priest
bullet for my valentine
shadows fall
godsmack
drowning pool
atreyu
avenged sevenfold
five finger death punch
trivium
psoriasis
pantera

Alot of the definitions on here are pretty accurate, but I'll fill in the gaps.

First off, I'm a metal head, so I'll write this as unbiased as I can. Metal heads are simply a person who listens to, likes, and UNDERSTANDS all types of metal exluding Nu./Alt. metal. Yes, most metal heads have long or close shaven hair, but thats not true for all. Band shirts and jeans are common, but not all of us wear them. Personally I wear bondage pants (i.e. Tripps), because I find them alot more comfortable than jeans. We tend to keep a very close circle of friends, but we will respect anyone who shows us respect and isn't fake about who they are. We view ALL of our fellow metal heads as brothers and sisters, regardless of race, religion, etc. We will also acknowledge any artist for their talent, even if we don't like them.

Alot of people might be turned away from metal heads because we can look pretty intimidating, and let's face it, we are known for our love of a good pit, and our love for a good fight. But, once you get to know us, we are some of the most calm, down to earth people you will ever meet.

Only the Kings of Metal themselves, ManOwaR, could write a fitting song about the true metal heads, The Brothers of Metal.

"Strike while the iron is hot
Steel is strongest, so say we all
And if we all were not brothers of metal would we fall?
NO!!!
They tried to test our spirit
They tasted steel before we were done
Grinding their bones into the dust of the past
All blown away like a shot from a gun

We cast our lot together four still stand as one
Here we'll remain forever till our kindgdoms one

Brothers of metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal metal that's real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air

Let us drink to the power drink to the sound
Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
Drink to your brothers who are never to fall
We are brothers of metal here in the hall

Our hearts are filled with metal and masters we have none
And we will die for metal, metal heals, my son

Brothers of metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal that's all that's real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air

Let us drink to the power drink to the sound
Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
Drink to your brothers who are never to fall
We are brothers of metal here in the hall

Brothers of metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal that's all that's real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air."
