Metal is a Leather Daddy Gay Bar?

All Leather Daddy Gay Bars are Metal, but not all Metal is a Leather Daddy Gay Bar.

Metal isnt easy to define really. Its like trying to define the boundaries of the solar system. Some things are definitely metal. Other things are up for debate. I largely think of it as rock and rolls gruffer sibling since they both developed out of the blues.

For example- we tend to get classed as a metal band. I tend to think of ourselves as a hard rock band that is made up of metalheads. I dont dispute the metal label though as a result.

The God of metal is a leather daddy gay man. I'd say that metal is that.

Heavy Metal is the official religion of 0.4% of the UK population, according to the most recent census.

:lulz:  The funny thing is that Lemmy insists he doesn't play metal.  Like Twid's above post, Motorhead plays rock and roll.

And by saying that, because it is Lemmy, it is metal as fuck.

METAL IS THE HOARFROST FORMING ON THE TESTICLES OF THE CRIMSON DARK REAPERS THAT RIDE TO VANQUISH YOUR EARDRUMS.

METAL IS A GUITAR SCREECHING AT YOU, PUSHED TO THE PHYSICAL LIMITS OF ITS EXISTENCE, BURNING THE AIR AND SETTING YOUR CILIA ON EDGE WITH FEAR AND AWE.

METAL IS LEMMY KILMISTER.

METAL IS THE HOOVES FROM THE GRIM STEED ECHOING ON FROZEN LAKES, ITS BREATH ELECTRIC, ITS MANE SHRIVELING YOUR EYES IN ITS FULLNESS AND GLORY AND VIRILITY.

METAL IS BAD HAIRCUTS AND LOUD NOISES AND LEATHER, LOTS OF STUDDED LEATHER, AND CORPSEPAINT AND BOOTS AND SHARP THINGS, SHARP THINGS EVERYWHERE AND GUTTURAL, ANGRY VOCALS AND NO SOUL, NO SOUL AT ALL BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN SOLD IT'S BEEN RENOUNCED IN RAGE AND PASSION AND PASSION FOR RAGE AND IT'S DENIM.

For some reason I as read aloud I began to yell this in a very metal manner.

Then I read LMNO's post.

Yep- motorhead can definitely pass as metal. And id also admit that our ep is basically a metal album but i wouldnt consider trojan horse a metal song and we have songs that didnt go on for one reason or another. A punkish song got cut due to heavy profanity.

Metal was being pissed and stoned and balls deep in someone and not remembering most of it when I was 16-20

Metal was flashing lights and thumping music and jumping about and I had long hair and it was flying everywhere

Metal was the weekend. The whole weekend and nothing but the weekend screaming past in a never ending blur of colour and sound

Metal was puking in a gutter with your mates holding you up so you didn't fall into it, before hauling your sorry ass back inside the pub so you could do it all over again

Metal was fun. I loved it.

Dunno what's going on nowadays but I only remember the old shit. Some of the new stuff sounds familiar but it's just music and it's probably metal to someone who's living it but not for me anymore. Metal is somewhere you are. In totality. I'm somewhere else now.

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

Oh, no worries.  That sentence just made my frontal lobes curl up a bit, is all.
