“Proper Metal” is:
A category of Heavy Metal music for bands who have taken inspiration from The Metal Gods such as Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, and Accept.
The Proper Metal sound is personified by screaming guitars with face melting solos, thunderous drums and pounding basslines.
Proper metal lyrics often deal with dark or serious subjects, like war, rebellion, and the occult. They can also be fantastical or explore mythology and history.
The Proper Metal look comprises the following:
Leather (black or white)
Other proper metal band T shirts
Studs & bullet belts
Long hair (where possible)
Flying V guitars
Very large drum kits

Dammit this stupid Acorn Metal Toilet clogged on me!
When a metal head reaches a state of pure metal ecstasy they make the claw with their hand and raise it up.
The true metal claw can be likened with holding an imaginary chalice filled with somthing metal....like sacrificial blood or beer.
Singers also use this hand gesture when feeling extra metal, godlike or just an extreme metal surge.
This is not exclusive to a live show but can also be done while driving and/or listening to ones favorite cassette tape.
Not to be confused with either the devil horns hand sign as these are 2 distinct gestures OR the "mall claw" which is a 1980s hairstyle achieved with heat and Aqua-net hairspray.
Bobby was in a state of awe at the Slayer show and raised the Metal claw to the stage.
