Brass is a metal but it is NOT Metal!!!!!!

And please don't get me started on our trombone-line Blues Brothers routine, I'm certain we threw the planet onto some alternate-future timeline by attempting that one. Had we just put the shades down and stuck to the school fight song, George Bush might be naught but a low-level oil company executive and Cliff Burton might have been the sole survivor of that bus crash.....

That explains the hate. Schools are hate inducing.

354. A Conflict Of Hatred

Yeah, perhaps when we reach 500 (which wouldn't take long, it seems) we should do some cleansing for repetitive adn redundant ones.

358. Dutch/Belgian guys at festivals with bar beer towels sewn onto the arse of their trousers.

359. Those stripey trousers that everone in a band seemed to have circa 81-83, see Steve Harris.

360. Throwing "the goat". (as shown below)

Well, ruling the earth might not be the best choice of words for those two. The other two or still in top form though.

364. You're only as young as you feel
365. Camel toes

366. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE! (cue police sirens and bending jail bars)

That's a great one!

369: Heavy metal can have lyrics like this:

”Back at her place
She was in the mood
She sucked and licked my food
When it was running all over her face
She rolled over and then we screwed

Next morning do you know what she said
She said ”Will you be my guy?”
I just got dressed and I walked away
I said ”Now girl, I don’t stay”

370: The first few notes in "devil takes the highroad" followed by "new horizons stretch the mind, of a newborn traveller"

371: The cover art on Rotor - Tepj szet minden lancot

372. Cardboard LP-mailer world tour. Everybody re-uses them so sometimes when you get a record, you can peel off all the layers of paper and find out that the mailer has been send from Canada to Japan to Germany (a record mailer has ALWAYS been in Germany) to the US and then to you.
