its not as bad as they would like to make out.

the clowns that go to the nightclubs in my town are already brain-dead.

dressing like cheap sluts, fighting amongst themselves, being sick in the streets, harassing women, stuffing their faces full of food…..

I never get any trouble in my metal club, no sexual tension as people arent there to pull, everybody is part of a sense of community.

im sure it does no more damage than getting into a fistfight every friday, saturday, sunday, monday,tuesday,wednesday,thursday as these clowns seem to.

long live metal!

Let’s face it until we’re all living in amish communities back in horse and carts and living like paupers, these busy bodies are going to tell us that everything is bad, you only get 1 shot at life and as long as you aren’t hurting anyone , balls to them, headbanging is fun and it’s British damn it -)

Ah, that explains the thousands of deaths in the metal scene every year.

Well duh, frankly. It’s the people that like, hold their hips and swing their whole torso with it that confuse me. Nothin’ worse than being onstage and getting some lanky long greasy badly-dyed hair on your shoes from a nobbend at the barrier thinking he’s Judas Priest.

mm sorry about my Friday rant!

but it just annoys me how peoples perception of us is so utterly wrong.

not sure most ppl move their neck more than 75 degrees anyway!

lol

“If you observe people after concerts they clearly look dazed, confused and incoherent, so something must be going on and we wanted to look into it.”

That’s because they’ve probably been in a good pit or two as well!
You’d be nackered if you’d been in several wouldn’t you?

Who did they use as test subjects? Bunch of whiney posers, probably. Why do people look dazed and confused after a good metal show:
1) The endorphins are raging through their bodies causing this effects
2) Your inner ear helps with balance. How good do you think your balance would be after your ears have been mauled by awesome metal riffs and killer drum beats

to be honest the dazed looks people have may be to do with drink, or the heat in gigs too.
This piece of research is a bit of a waste of time and money in my opinion

Tom Araya has been headbanging for a long time.
and he still do it the same way like back when he was 20years old.

I’m ashamed that this waste of time study came out of Australia. Idiots. And in the full article, they suggest wearing neckbraces to gigs. Stupid twats.

im sure headbanging a slightly damaging but did nobody take into account that people could be dazed and confused because of beer,i wrote this then realised i was echoing king oli,posted anyway

With regards to this whole article i can only laugh in the face of science
because in reality we only live once and i’m going to make the most of it so if i die while headbanging then i’ll die a happy man
long live metal

good point joel me ol matey. moshpits. fists in face, knees in ears, elbows in teeth, cock and balls!
i dont know what that means really….but i do know that if what this study shows is indeed true. then HAIL CRIPPLE METAL! am i fucking right metal heads?!

Next stop, Dave for Argumental!

hahaha what a load of crap.

hAHAHAHA,
metal till i die.
lets ignore them cocks.

WRECK YOUR NECK lml

This article is a Christmas joke. Such joke studies appear annually around Christmas in the British Medical Journal.

Well done Trivium-ites.

you know I think that would be funny seeing people wear neck braces to a metal gig but on the serious side all headbanging and moshing is is a bit of fun or something to do if you think the warm up act are shit lol

hmmm Angus Young…..

Well perhaps they are right why dont we give them a chance to explain. We keep on whining and ranting about but it’s all about the attitude anyway. We can watch metal concert without headbangin right if it’s good for us then why should we poke fun to them. We should be thankful at least they gave us something to think about. The problem here is… we refused to listen.

dazed confused and incoherent from headbanging, nothing to do with excessive extra curricular activities
sounds like they didnt look at other factors

BANG YOU HEAD TILL IT BLEEDS

state the bloody obvious why not? and we care to what level? im sure the music does no favours to our ears, nor the few hours of breathing in sweat, blood, b.o. i wouldnt imagine the godfather of headbanging(Ozzy) would particularly care and neither do we. Go shove a drumstick up your arse and put on ur elton john albums you boring gay fucks

haha. Of course people look tired after – they’ll have been standing for like 4 hours, squashed up in a hot room. This article is bs.

i’ll headbang if i fucking want too. and i’ll have a fag when im done

No shit, only took them 30 years to figure it out.

I’m an Aussie and I can’t believe that some dickhead was given a grant to study this. Obviously must be a Powderfinger fan who conducted it, ‘cos they think they’re all pretty hardcore.

Can I ask Dr Dickhead to maybe go see some great Aussie music like Blood Duster, Rose Tattoo, The Angels, The Bezerker and The Hard-Ons and see what the after effects are on the crowds at those gigs? He might be happy to see that evryone is pretty coherent and able to sting a sentence together. Then check out the usual Sydney and Melbourne rave scene and let me know what his findings are. Actually mate, don’t bother. I’m pretty sure what they’ll be…

I’m still convinced they could be dazed for many reasons: they could have had a bit to drink, maybe they just got slammed in the mosh, or maybe the stobe lights, or possibly even they’re just fucking tired after a kick-ass show. I mean, who doesn’t come home dazed from a Slayer show?
