Holy crap. I've never heard a song that made me start headbanging in the first three seconds... o_O

I enjoy most metal (favorite is melodic death), but honestly metalheads cannot unite. Many of them are too pretentious, and if you mention one band they dislike, suddenly everybody is arguing over the merits of one band/style over another.

I love that it not only makes fun of many popular artists, but at the same time manages to satirize the glam/hair metal genre. There's no part of that that I don't like.

I've been listening to Blind Guardian pretty much nonstop for the last month or so. Life is just so much more epic when you're listening to power metal.

Now where can I buy a battle-ax...

Sadly, I guess you're right. We've lost our battle before it starts, the first breath wasn't done. Now my spirit's sunken deep into the ground. Why am I alone? I can hear my heartbeat, silence's all around...

See hate will rise, so don't come closer, fear your child. Born with a king's heart, but fate fooled me and changed my cards. No one asked if I want it...if I liked it...!

Pain inside is rising
I am the fallen one
A figure in an old game
No Joker's on my side
I plunged into misery
I'll turn off the light
And murder the dawn

Turn off the light
And murder the daw--

Er...

*cough*. Sorry about that.

I've confirmed through personal experimentation that even something so mundane as sweeping the floor is made awesome by having "Fly" or "Turn the Page" in the background. Especially if you flourish the broom like a quarterstaff.

Does anyone else get the tang of irony with the phrase "Metal Rocks?" Anyone? Anyone at all?

Incidentally any attempt to get metal heads to genuinely unite in large numbers will be hamstrung by the wide variety of different tastes and sub-genres. For example it's rare to find an avid Opeth fan who doesn't scoff at Slipknot or Cradle.. extrapolate from there.

Oh fuck it. When moshing, everyone gets beaten up anyway. Insert devil-horns here.
