Question: Heavy metal: what's it about?

[Motorik]

For the answer to this conundrum I thought I would turn to two of the most important figures in the history of heavy metal, nay! the entire history of music, back to the time when Mesopotamian man first riffed unto Pazuzu upon the summit of a ziggurat.

It’s a one way ticket to midnight.

cumming blood.

I didn’t listen to either track. Satan is clearly the correct choice, even if most so-called metalheads have strayed from the path.

Thunder

That is a considered and reasonable answer. And you will be pleased to know that no music was played in either clip.

It's about the music.

Satan. Of course. Satan and satanic individualism is at the heart of all decent non-Nashville pop music. Satan and Jesus have joint custody of the Ryman. Heartbreak is country music’s weekend dad.

That is a proper answer to a flippant question. i think you sound like the 'knows what he's talking about' voiceover at the beginning of a music documentary that starts with someone being dipped in the river and then a cut to Screamin' Jay Hawkins or something.

I liked it.

Song, wine, and women - they're my three favorites.
Beer, gin, and whiskey - that's five, six, and four.
Saturday night I like eatin' and dancin'
And I sleep all day Sunday so's I'm ready for more.

It's all about scaring the parents. Mom and Dad aren't worried about Junior becoming a warlord -- pays well, and everyone respects a badass -- but Satan is scary stuff.

It's the light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah...

 

[Jbird]

It's not about unicorns and elf-maidens?

 

[rickenvox]

What is Phil Collins music all about?

 

[DinoMikeSr]

KISS: Knights in Satan’s Service. Just ask the god of thunder.

 

[sleewell]

well there you go...

 

[Jbird]

KISS: Knights in Satan’s Service. Just ask the god of thunder.

It's the Twilight of the Thunder God, though.

 

[shoeless]

No angry Cookie Monster option?

I initially misread this as Twilight of the Tumblr God and then I got triggered.
