the horns

A hand gesture used by metal heads to symbolize their love of the music. First used by Ronnie James Dio during his years in Black Sabbath, during the Heaven and Hell tour.
Dio would use the horns to emphasize a particularly dark moment. The moment had to deserve the horns. Dio himself did not invent the sign, the horns were originally an italian gesture that was used either to repel or to give the evil eye, and went by the name Mano Cornuto. Dio gives the credit to his grandmother for impressing the horns upon him, for she was the one who used it the most around him.

It pisses me off that people give the horns at fucking Hannah Montanna concerts. They are ment for METAL.

the horns

A hand gesture in which the pinky and index fingers are raised. This is different from the American Sign Language gesture for "I Love You" in that the thumb is tucked in; and different from the sign of the evil eye in that the fingers are pointed upwards. Usually used in celebration of something or other.

The Horns

First started by Tommy Iommi of Black Sabbath fame, due to his lack of middle and ring fingers (on his fretting hand) because of a machinery accident in the early years of the band, this is now a worldwide recognised gesture, often used in conjunction with the words "Rock On".

Rock On this is a fucking awesome gig! *The Horns*
