Marco's physique is based on that of Sylvester Stallone's titular hero from Rambo III, & his looks bare a strong resemblance to David Bowie.

A metal head who judges others on their tastes in metal
Will always listen to Pantera if offered
Most likely will NOT listen to Metallica
Whitechapel and Gojira are usually their favorite band
Easily triggered when their music is judged
WARNING: Absolutely do NOT say "metal is just noise" or "I listen to real music" around these people, you will get a definite throat punch and might get eaten
Metal Elitest: You don't listen to Pantera!?!? What kind of metal head are you.
Also Metal Elitest: I don't listen to Metallica, they're too mainstream.
