I was at a local Death Metal show with some buddys, and we have boots with steel plating on the bottom of them, so we like to stomp on the ground while we headbang. We actually caused a few cracks in the floor. But unfortanetly in the morning your feet hurt along with your neck.

I went to a small battle of the bands, and NO ONE but me banged their head to the last two bands; which happened to be epically metal. Lots of people left, and people just sat there. I ended up getting mad, standing up on my chair, and banging my head around like a psycho. It was awesome. Let’s just say the last band earned my vote. ;)

@J – thank you! Occasionally, I do manage to say something mildly humorous.

Great picture. I love Martin Mendez’ style of headbanging.

ALSO: “Remember, every time you bang your head, you risk losing brain cells. Precious brain cells. So don’t headbang to just anything. That band needs to earn your brain cells. ”

The best quote I’ve read from this site so far.

With Randy Blythe, who is my idol, by the way.

The shaved head thing is completely useless for headbanging. Unfortunately, I tried it when Lamb of God came to Beijing. Worst feeling ever. It looks pretty metal, especially on brutal death metal guys like Dying Fetus. But trying to headbang with it is seriously uncomfortable. You use way more energy than you should, and do your neck in much faster. Fortunately for me, I was also screaming my lungs out, so i got to get on stage and belt out my all-time favourite song “Blacken the Cursed Sun”. I loved every second of it.

@gothick – that sucks – I am always afraid to crowdsurf becuase I’m terrified of having that happen. It’s such an awesome feeling when it actually goes right, though.

Glad you had such a wicked time – I’ve had the neck pain for a week after a particularly brutal gig. In metal, love is pain :)

went to see soulfly lastnight, and the first attempt of crowd surfing ended with me just slammed straight into the ground… shit. got helped up and left with a sore neck. was pretty shit considering a guy atleast twice my size went crowd surfing pretty easily.. bad timing i guess but it was a fucking awesome gig. and i headbanged the shit out of my neck and it hurts like hell now but it was well worth the pain. pain in metal. \m/
