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
See Kuster, Thrash Queen, Overdeth etc etc

...see Killen?

416. Minotauro Records. Coz there's something scary about them...

417. Beer (approximately 7000 years old) + Metal (+/- 40 years old) is a marriage made in Heaven+Hell. (Ageism sucks!)

418. At your deathbed, your last though might very well be: "I wonder if that violet vinyl version of BLACK HOLE's "Land Of Mystery" ever really existed or not?"

419. The evil laugh that goes along with the riff at the beginning of Maze of Torment, and the "Die!" later in the song.

420. Holding your piss in for several hours when your in bed listening to great tunes "...ahh just one more song then I'll get up and do it"

I just read through every page and most of these reasons are awesome.
I haven't made a post in here for quite some time but I really like lists..I didn't see these reasons but correct me if I'm wrong.

422.The fact that heavy metal can inspire you to read up on history,philosophy,religion and space.

423.The fact that heavy metal can inspire you to listen to classical.

424. Dead's suicide note and legendary death in general

425. Victor Griffin's guitar sound + deadly riffing in the first PENTAGRAM albums.

Heavy Metal is a journey, a voyage of discovery, so in its essence is representative of the style of the music - epic, strong, heroic. When I discovered the Corroseum, I was made aware of the fact that Heavy Metal is so much richer than I fad hitherto realised, so I guess reason

- the Corroseum, for teaching me so much about Heavy Metal!

429. CHURCH BURNINGS!!! \m/

430. Bone-chilling high pitched screams following an acoustic break in a good black metal song

You're ruining the list.

Did a little editing/reseting. Last # is 427 (see athares post above)

Now, what's wrong with throwing in some reasons why metal does NOT always rule?

Hmm... my apologies, but can someone explain to me what was so wrong with my attempted contribution?
