The introduction to types of metalheads

Hey, everyone. I’m back with the introduction to a metalhead.

 So there are many kinds of metal heads, I mean there are  thousands of types of metal
.
The Heavy/Thrash Metal.
Well you probably wouldn’t even know if  one of your friend even listens to metal. Normal singing nothing to fancy , fast tempos, standard tunings, Not very heavy, but good.
Many of my friends didn’t know that till they checked my playlists. The average heavy metal person listens to almost everything on the radio when with their friends. They won’t criticize anything, except those because of whom the music industry is getting ruined, I mean who can listen to that girl Justin beaver or the one direction ? Those people are ruining the industry on a serious level. Well that’s enough off topic. So, all in all, heavy metal people dress comfortably knee length shorts and tee’s of bands . NO anti-christ or anything. They usually don’t keep long hair, beards, tattoo, piercings and they don’t all smoke weed and get high and kill someone, we don’t always swear. We are nice people. So, we usually listen to Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax, etc.
The Death Metal
Killing people, Shredding them to pieces, and other Violent actions are usually associated to Death metal. George “CorpseGrinder” Fisher might have sold his soul to devil for his neck but not for his choice of music. Growling, Roaring, heavy and fast Shredding, down tunings and a lot of double bass. The truth to be told, when I was in my Death metal phase I used to criticize a lot but I got criticized too. They usually get a lot of criticism which get’s them angry nad they also say a lot of foul things! It’s a simple give and take rule, if you are not criticizing even we won’t criticize. They usually have long hair, beards, tattoos, a lot of piercings, smoke a lot and drink a lot too. But some of them are not like them some are very kind hearted. They usually wear knee length shorts and button up shirts. You can spot them easily as they are usually gonna have a cigarette up their mouths. But none of this means that they are bad at heart. Not all are Anti-Christ. They usually listen to Cannibal Corpse, Decide, Behemoth, WhiteChapel, etc.
The Black Metal
Burning Churches, Killing people and crucifying virgins  is not everything that they do. Agreed, some musicians have a violent history like Vaarg, but he is very good at heart. Some readers who might not be metalheads must know him for all the crimes of his past. But not many know about his present. He is only human and everyone has their phase. So, now that we have a good base, let’s talk about the people who listen to black metal. High pitch screaming, Standard tuning guitars, Progressive tempo. They usually like to put on corpse paint when bored. They are very disappointed with the radio stations, no black metal (hehe). Not many tattoos, doesn’t smoke or drink much, long hair, some beard, not many piercings. Now I don’t know much about black metal so spare me because I can’t tell you about the band that they listen to.

The Classic Rock
I’m on the highway to hell, Highway to hell, it’s the first song that comes to my mind when I hear Classic Rock. Ac/Dc changed a the definition of classic rock. IT was undoubtedly the best classic rock band in my opinion and after that pink Floyd. Now, I don’t know anything about them, only the music so, It’s another another topic that has gone to waste. But I will tell you what comes to my mind. Medium hair, soul patch or clean, maybe a bandana with shades, Jeans, a tee of any classic rock band. That’s all. A long shout in the last verse that continues till the chorus, guitars tuned down half a step, Calm drumming, good for driving.

The MetalCore/Fake
They are usually said to be fake because of excessive screaming and lot of other reasons. They have enough tattoos to cover them up when they are naked. They Are usually very skinny and weird. I personally don’t like them. They act like they are very heavy while wearing their fancy loafers and skin tight clothes. So, here is another topic, WASTED! But I’ll leave some names of bands that you could check out. Upon This Dawning, Black veil brides, Suicide Silence(it fits the description but I find it good you can check out their you only live once)

Well I’m happy that you used up your time on reading this blog. I hope that all the non-metalheads would have gotten a sense of what the metal heads are. Thank You J

Hey, people! This is my first blog so please see past the mistakes!
On this blog I’ll tell you all about me, (the average, kind hearted Metalhead)
My Name is Tanay Chakraborty, Indian, 15,Metalhead,Human not a brown skinned ass-for all the racist friends of mine :)
I play the guitar, I’ve got two of them, one is an S shape and the other is a V shape
I usually play Metallica, Slayer, Children of bodom, Megadeth, some others too.
I started out with Metallica then to Cannibal corpse then to Gorgoroth then Megadeth
Creed, and the list goes on! But now I guess I’ve got a permanent crush on Metallica and Slayer.
And when I say Slayer , I don’t mean that I’m a Satanist. I’m an agnostic human being.
I doubt only some things we Indians follow.  It’s not like if we don’t eat meat one day we go straight

To hell, I  mean what can one day do and what does meat even have to do with hell? It’s these kind of things that I don’t believe in. So don’t take me as an anti-christ or anti-god

ALL METALHEADS ARE NOT SATAINSTS , It’s true, metal heads are good people. We respect every genres, it’s only that we cannot listen to them squeal about fantasy land. So at the end of the day I say hail Metallica and Slayer,  R.I.P Cliff Burton and Jeff Haneman

I’m writing for the first time so I’m not going to write more because there isn't much activity on a metalhead’s radar. So I thank you, the reader , for reading this post :’)
