Facial expression adopted by metal bands in those photos with all the members stood in a line which they all seem to have in abundance. Illustrated perfectly by this emote: -_- , the metal stare conveys deep fiery slightly intimidating meaningfulness. The -_- face is accompanied by a leaned back pose, sometimes with arms folded.
The Metal Stare is universally used by heavy metal bands and to a lesser extent by bands of other genres. A more popular version used in other genres is a more wide-eyed look with the head slightly tilted down, giving a more quirky, almost disapproving-looking feel that tells you "this guy is a lively interesting non-conformist chap".

When you are in a group of people and there is a girl acting crazy, with what she says or the way she reacts, shes a metal lamp.

Get the Tenacious Metalmug. That guy who wears metal band shirts, listens to heavy metal and country music, and lives the redneck life is a Metal Hillbilly.

Get the metal hillbillymug. A riffing style popularized by legendary Metallica frontman James Hetfield. It is basically a punk-rock style rhythm meets Motorhead/NWOBHM etc (new Wave Of British Heavy Metal) resulting in a potent machine-gun gallop sounding orgasmic tune to what most Metalhead calls now as Thrash. Their milestone debut album "Kill 'Em All" introduced that kind of sound and after that it literally spawned hundreds of Thrash bands mimicing that style.

Get the Metalli-Crunchmug. Refers to respect you get from metalheads e.g. for playing a good song, or wearing a a band shirt for a good band.
I suppose we could play that Joe Satriani song at the gig, but I reckon we'd get more metal points if we played Pantera.
