Dee Snider’s Campaign To ‘Take Back the Horns’!

horns_90Fed up of seeing people who are anything but metal throwing the horns? So is Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider and he’s launched a campaign for metalheads to take back the horns!

Dee Snider has had enough of those people who dare to throw the horns without owning a Slayer album, those whose heavy metal knowledge extends to the name Iron Maiden and those whose only rock shirts have diamantes on them.

Dee Snider is claiming back the horns and Hammer is 100% behind him! Check out his TakeBackTheHorns.com!

Finally! An important issue in the world today has been brought forward!

I wholly support this movement and would like to subscribe to their newsletter.

My mate facebook raped me and made me a fan of paris hilton. When I went on the page so I could leave the group I saw the horns ubder the info section. wtf?

Bee_Gee

Rockin’! Although a tad concerned that it’s up to Dee Snyder to champion the cause…. Either way:

\m/(><)\m/

Horseguts

hmmmm not to sure i totally agree thats neccesary bro!? :\

Horseguts

anywho it’s an ancient itallian hand sign that gives and and repels evil and can also mean your wife is a whore! so we kinda stole it ourselves \m/

I can’t throw up the horns because I don’t own a Slayer album? So regardless of all the other metal albums I own, I can’t throw up the horns because I think Slayer are a bit wank?

Well I didn’t want to join your smelly cause anyway

I’m sick of seeing little 6 year old girls doing it at Green Day concerts. And their parents letting them. Parents – BEAT YOUR CHILDREN!!!

Have to agree with the misuse of the horns. Espacially by people who have nothing whatsoever to do with metal.
\m/ TAKE BACK THE HORNS PEOPLE!!! \m/

The QMeister

we need a new metal sign! how about we all grow actual horns! \M/

CowgirlFromHell

Same as Phil, don’t have any Slayer albums, wouldn’t even download one….
It does kind of annoy me though… but I’m just like ”lulz… n00b”. It’s /very/ overused nowadays.
But people who stick out their thumbs while throwing the horns annoy me more :P

FUCK YES \M/\M/ >:D

murray, that statement just earned you the title of POSEUR!

The QMeister i agree! Lets all fucking GROW horns!!! As for the ‘horns with thumb sticking out’, it used to, dont know anymore, be a sign mountain bikers would give (downhill, not the dull cross-country ones) after nailing something hectic or when in midair doing a one or no hander. Again, this is something that has been stolen and turned into something negative. People now think its a retarded horn.

I dont know if this has been mentioned but at the beginning of “rock night” on the X Factor the other week the host dermot when he came out did the horns!!! i cried….. wtf

Jadegenerate

I approve of this cause! Because I’m also totally sick of people throwing the horns, and then when asked abou metal knowledge, they reply that ‘they were doing it ironically’. Ugh.

Paul, why are you watching X Fucktor??? Everyone knows Strictly Come Dancing is where it’s at!! \m/

Laimonas

JESUS! Stop crying about Slayer.Are you so stupid that its an example?U can have any metal album want , but have to have atleast one.That proves that you support metal…

Laimonas

to DEV: I like JEDWARD they make me laugh as they so rubbish!!!

Gangrenous

God bless Dee! you gotta admit the man has a point, I’ve also seen hundred people or more throwing the horns just by listening a green day song, it’s so poseur! even that girl Rihanna (the one beaten up by a rap guy) throwing the horns like she’s staring at Tom Araya at Slayer show…this is nauseating! GO DEE! Bring back the horns!

adrian blade

Fed up of watching 6 year olds at green day concerts throwing the horns?
Why are you at a green day concert? They are about as punk as Alan Titchmarsh.

Yeah i dislike the miss use of the horns

Metalheads who don’t own a Slayer album?

Fuck you! Everything from Show No Mercy to Seasons is pure metal. Start there if you’re a new fan and dont download it for free because

1) Quailty is SHIT compared to CD or vinyl
2) Its better having an actual copy of the album, you appreciate it more, and its not just on a technological rectangal piece of crap ipod.
3) I got Reign in Blood when i was 14. Life changed instantly.

Red_Hot

Hell yeah! My ex gf did it at a dance at my high school. Made me want to throw up violently. haha

Is it okay to use the Horns if you are a Texas Longhorn Fan????????
