398. Loving bands who sing in languages you don't know anything about and making up with alternate pronunciations when talking about them with some friends or "singing along".

401. Odd guitar distortion tone like in Manilla Road or Cirith Ungol, before uniform production took over.

402

Denim jackets with lots of patches - customized worship

403

Looking up dictionaries for various words in Carcass songs

404

Dan Seagrave covers - so mysterious and creepy, otherworldly and amazing (ok not Metal but a part of the overall aesthetic I guess)

405

A good, epic Metal song should be like a great book - once it's over, there is a feeling of loss, like a friend has gone away and you just need to listen to it again and again

407- driving a family friend crazy by asking her for Bolt Thrower's 'Realms of Chaos' cD for three straight Christmases while the cd was out of print

408- the look on my aunt's face when I asked her for a copy of Napalm Death's 'death by manipulation' cd for christmas back around 1990 (she got me the Rolling Stones instead

)

409- My students' reaction when I use Nuclear Assault and Megadeth album covers during my lectures on radioactivity & nuclear materials

410- the mere fact that an album entitled 'RRROOOAAAARRR!!!!' exists

That saxophone thing deserves some dissection though. Stay tuned..
THANK YOU!

If God wanted brass in a metal band, he would have made metal drum sticks

414. The fact that lousy, constantly out of tune vocalists (like the first Gotham City one or Black Hole's) can still be perfect for certain determinate sound.

415. How people who can hardly play their instruments and don't really know what they're doing can actually, by design or coincidence, produce great sounding metal
