metal fans, what are your favorite metal cliches?

Ok...I love metal. I was raised on it. But it is said that we make fun of that which we love, and lets face it...metal is pretty easy to make fun of LOL

So What are some of the jokes that make you laugh your a$$ off?

For me its the 101 rules of Power Metal.

http://www.metalstorm.net/pub/fun_comments.php?fun...

Especially Rules 45. Although your costume does not require corpse paint, it will require a cape, lots of jewelry, and the aforementioned swords.

Rule 46. Unless you are Manowar, in which case you are too metal for clothing.

So lets laugh at what we love!

Update:

@ Jarret

LOL so true XD!

how is that list? I havent read it yet.

Update 2:

also @Jarret

LOL

And how Rob Halford is just too metal for women.

Update 3:

@ So-crates

LOL Manowar is awesome...they sing about it all the time.

And the power metal lyrics. You can tell the bands have fun with it, and obviously embrace their geekdom (I do too^_^), but I've never seen a Power metal band onstage that doesn't have a big 'ol smile on their faces!

One more bit about Manowar. I've noticed a lot of people who are always like "Oh...they're gay..." haven't actually listened to them. Its all great fun!

    I love the horribly cheesy lyrics and themes. You know, the dungeons and dragons type stuff that manowar and power metal bands sing about. I love making fun of it, but I also love it for real. I love everything about Manowar, including their awful album covers and outfits.

    Manowar is great.

    I've never realy thought about Cliches

    The whole association with Satanism. I know for a fact that most metalheads are atheists. Only black metal bands "worship the devil." No, Marilyn Manson doesn't count. Yes, he's a member of the Church of Satan, but that church doesn't worship him. It teaches that the only thing you need to believe in is yourself.

    That's hilarious, thanks for sharing! I laughed hard at lots of them but being a bass player these are some of my favorites:

    68. Bass players: one note. Really fast.

    69. But include one enormous crazy-*** bass fill before the chorus, even though the production will bury you so far in the mix that most people won't realize your band has a bass player.

    One (several) of the Rules of Black Metal is "Don't be Dani Filth" (from Cradle of Filth)

    Makes me giggle.

    OH! And the Kirk Hammet Wah jokes
