Friday Top 10: Metal beards

Facial hair… An useful tool (most) guys have to change their look a bit. Sometimes it improves it, other times it just makes it worse. There’s a fine line between having a good beard and looking ridiculous, and in metal, that line is usually overstepped. Big time. So this is what this Top 10 is about… Metal Beards.

Read the top, after the jump.

Metal posers

Posers. They’re everywhere. However, nothing gets my blood boiling more than “metal posers,” and by that I mean, of course, people who pretend they listen to metal just to seem cool.

And for the record, I used a Guitar Hero picture just because it’s the perfect embodiment of posing – geeks thinking they can actually play instruments. I have nothing against the game per se, I think it’s a fun game for regular people and musicians alike, but some of those people who do ok in the game think they can actually play guitar, and that pisses me off.

So my rant is about posers, read after the jump, it’s not gonna be too short.
