lol my favorite is, satan's got your nose LOL

the war of metal and po(o)p and cRAP has begun (in case you didn't get that that's pop and rap:P)

the time is now. Every metal band ever to exist that stays true to the teachings of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Metallica and so on must join the battle. The day NO the year the music truly died was 2000, when teen po(o)p took over. Though i respect change and movement, and the cycle of life, this is not good. This po(o)p i will tolerate once in a subdued state, but cRAP has absolutely no musical talent whatsoever. And i respect and enjoy Nu-Metal, for Nu-Metal seems to be synonymous with new metal. NotcRAP rock. Metal and Rock must be renewed however this pink, bubble gum, little girly rock won't cut it. It should be ashamed to even call itself rock. Bands like Greenday, yeah their a good, new, fresh type of Metal...from what i've heard(i haven't really heard much at all heh heh) but yeah new bands need to continue. But i will not stand for that which would have metal and rock destroyed for all time. And so i ask you, choose a side, post a comment, whoose side are you on. If you are on the real music side and not the side of the posers, then comment your loyalties and vice versa. this is war and every music type must take a side, for i fear this is gonna be an uphill battle.

MY top 5 fave bands (the reason there's more than 5 is this is a rotating list)

1. RUSH

2. Ozzy Osbourne (if someone has a better picture...

3. AC/DC

4. Megadeth

5. Judas Priest

6. Black Sabbath

7. Guns n' Roses

The Birth of Megadeth
When the Hair was born there was much resentment. Many small underground cults were formed. These cults were refered to as Thrash. The strongest of these cults was called Metallica. But one of the leading priests in Metallica, Dave, had many fights with the other two priests, Lars and James. Dave was expelled from the cult. Enraged, Dave vowed his revenge. He started a new thrash cult called Megadeth. The strength of this cult almost matched Metallica's. During the war against the Hair the two cults were forced to join together to stop a common enemy, but thier feud lives on today. Recently, Metallica has lost many followers and Megadeth has gained many, but no one knows for sure which is the more powerful. The feud is one which will last till the end of time.

The Mighty Pantera and the Great Dimebag
During the reign of the Hair many bands were spawned from it. Few were well known, but the story of the Hair metal band that became thrash lives on. They were known as Pantera. Pantera was just another tool for the Hair, but when the Big Four defeated the Hair Pantera died and was reborn as a thrash cult. This new cult, led by the great Dimebag, was more powerful than any of the Big Four. Thier power rivaled the Metal God Halford himself. Dimebag became the god of alcoholic drinks and invented the "Black Toothed Grin", the drink of the gods. All was well again, however, it would not last.

The fall of Pantera
Pantera was the most powerful thrash cult there was but there were many internal fights within the cult. One of the head priests of the cult Anselmo had many fights with Dimebag. There were conspiricy theories about Anselmo, as well as rituals invoving a forbidden herb called Heroin. In the end it tore Pantera to pieces.

The Death and Rebirth of Dimebag
Dimebag watched in horror as his cult fell to pieces. He fell into a deep depression. He tried to start a new cult, but it was no where near as powerful as Pantera. During one of his sermons, an old pantera extremist killed Dimebag. No one knows why, but it is speculated that he blamed Dimebag for the fall of Pantera. Many mourned his death. They brought him offering of beer and other alcoholic beverages. But even though he died, his soul lived on. He was brought back from the dead to rock on for eternity in Ozzfest.

The Emergance of The Gods of Speed
The world was in chaos. Emo, and Metalcore had taken over. And on top of that, Rap began to move into territory owned by the metalheads. Many were enslaved, but none were converted. All seemed bleak, but then a miricle happened. Out of nowhere, two great entites were born. They were known as Sam Totman and Herman Li. They were the gods of speed. They joined together to form a new pure metal alliance known as the Dragonforce! The Dragonforce began to fight back against the emo's and many of them were converted to metalheads. The rebellion had begun!

The Metal Rebellion
The Dragonforce quickly became the most powerful force metal had to offer, but they were still no match for the combined strength of the emo's. They needed help. Out of unknown lands, emerged many metal cults following the teachings of the metal gods! They were led by a cult known as Blind Guardian. With them were other cults known as Hammerfall, Gamma Ray, Primal Fear, and Firewind. Speed Metal was born. These cults together, led by the Dragonforce fought against Metalcore and Emo. Metal now had a fighting chance.

The Return of True Metal
Now that Speed Metal had truly emerged, Emo and Metalcore had sent thier full force against metal. Realising this, Halford decided that he had no choice but to take action. The Metal Gods returned to fight alongside the Dragonforce and Speed Metal. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, KISS Manowar, and many other bands of the metal gods returned, more powerful than ever to take a stand against the emo threat. The war had begun.

Grunge:
The Hair had been tamed and all was well. Thrash cults had emerged to praise the Metal Gods. All was good. But a new threat was just emerging. A new type of worship, Grunge, had begun. They came from a far off contry called Seattle. This new religion was spawned by metal and another religion known as Punk. At first it was not considered much of a threat, but things changed. The leading church of Grunge was the church of Nirvana. Nirvana was confronted by the newly tamed Hair, and Nirvana smote the Hair out of existence. This concerned the metal god. But what was more concerning was how quickly Grunge began to grow. Halford decided to take action. He secretly assembled his strongest men. Dee Snider, the god of wisdom and rebellion. Bruce Dickinson, heir to the throne of Ozzfest. The Big Four, the founders of Thrash. Many more soldiers were assembled to defeat this menace. But as they were about to attack, Nirvana's head priest took his own life. After the fall of the church of Nirvana, Grunge became peaceful d coincided with the metal society. All was well again.

Nu-Metal:
After the taming of Grunge all was normal. Untill one of the Big Four made a fatal mistake. Anthrax went into the ancient grounds of the Rap religion. They befriended a priest of the religion. Doing this, opened new doors, that were meant to never be opened. Pretty soon, other bands began crossing into the realm of rap. Then came the day when a cult was formed. This cult was called Limp Bizkit. They merged the gap between metal and rap and created the unholy union which is Nu-Metal. This cult quickly grew into a new religion. At first this amused the metal gods, but the true worshipers of metal were not happy with this new blasphemous religion. But, sadly, there was nothing that could be done. Nu-Metal had arisen, but that was nothing compared to what would come next.

Emo:
Forming from the old teachings of the Church of Nirvana, and the religion of punk, emo was formed. There were many cults that emerged but the most dangerous were Fallout Boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic! at the Disco, and Hawthorne Heights. These cults were hated by all metal orshipers, but all the nonbelievers flocked to this new religion and embraced it. The Metal gods, however, could do nothing to stop this without starting a full out war, which they were unfortunately out numbered. The emo scene just kept growing.

Metalcore:
Emo was taking over the world and the metal gods could do nothing. Things looked grim, but they were about to get worse. Some priests from a far off religion known as hardcore punk emerged and discovered the tattered remains of Phillip Anselmo's teachings. They also discovered the cults of Thrash. From these teachings they formed a new religion. Metalcore was born. This religion was lead by the cults which started the religion. They were known as Nuclear Assault, Breakdown, and Biohazard. At firstthere was no threat at all, but then it happened. The cults began to twist and change, becoming influenced by the emo religion. The cults today are known as Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet for My Vallentine, and Trivium. But while nu-metal slowly dwindled, Metalcore only grew stronger. The world was in chaos, and there seemed to be nothing that could stop it. The world seemed to be doomed....

The Rise of the Hair
After Halford restored peace to heavy metal (and by peace I mean loud, crazy strength and power) all was well. With Bruce and Maiden and Halford and Priest, all was perfect. Especially in a land called the Sunset Strip. There heavy metal thrived, but it was contained in the Strip. So Halford, unknowingly, released the metal from the Strip. Metal exploded to all corners of the known world. At first all was good, but soon, the metal that was released went out of control. It became the force known as the Hair. It became so powerful, that not even Halford, the Metal God himself could stop it. And so the world was engulfed in the Hair's might, but luckily, it was still metal. Halford may not have had control, but the Hair also protected all of Ozzfest.

The Wrath of the Courts of Evil.
The Hair was still at large, which was not entirely bad. Halford could do nothing to stop it, but there was no need to, so all was well. But then, one day, a woman appeared in the Strip. With disgust, she looked at the core of the Hair. Then she struck. The woman was Tipper Gore. She despised all the world and wished to overthrow Halford and destroy metal. But in order to do that, she needed to get through the Hair. And at first, it seemed she would. Seeing this threat, Halford sent the wise one Dee Snider, to deal with the shrew. Dee and Tipper fought for weeks on end, but in the end, Dee was victorious. He defeated Tipper Gore, but in the process, the Hair was strengthened. All was well once again.

The Fall of the Hair.
With the Hair still in complete control there was not much for the metal gods to do. All was peaceful, but rather boring. But eventually, Halford noticed that, while the Hair was a great mass of Metal, it was transforming metal into pop music. Fearing the downfall of Metal, Halford found an underground form of metal known as Thrash. These bands were immune to the powers of the hair. So Halford summoned the four most powerful groups. They were known as The Big Four. Led by Metallica, there was Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. These four had great power, and with it they took the Hair and defeated it. Beaten, the Hair was allowed to live, but was under the control of the Big Four. Once again, all was well.

NOTE: I know that not all of this makes sense, for example, i know that Ozzfest came much later, but just bear with me.

CREATION

Before the world we live in today exsisted, there was a vast place known as Birmingham. Hippies and soft rock ruled everything. Then, a man named Tony Iommi sacraficed his fingers to create heavy metal. Ozzy Osbourne took over heavy metal and created Ozzfest. Using this, heavy metal was spread. Ozzy then created Sabbath, lord of darkness. He also created the Iron Man, who served as Ozzy's right hand man and guard.

THE NEXT GENERATION

As Ozzy grew old, and as heavy metal branched out, new metal gods were created. The strongest one was Alice Cooper. Ozzy recognized Alice's talents and accepted him as his son. Alice had a servant built for him known as the Teenage Frankenstien. Eventuall, Alice took over Ozzfest, which kept it's name for it's original ruler.

BETRAYAL

With Alice Cooper know ruling Ozzfest, new gods began to emerge. Dee Snider, the god of wisdom was one of them. Also, four prophets appeared. They were a musician, a cat, an alien, and a demon. They were known as KISS. It seemed as if they would become the next rulers of Ozzfest, but slowly they were decieved and eventually, they sold out and went disco, killing heavy metal. But all was not lost, for from the remains of metal rose a new wave of hard rock. And from that, Halford was born.

REDEMPTION

With disco rampant and metal dead, all hope rested with Halford. Alice recognized this and accepted him as his son, as Ozzy had done with him. So Halford assembled four great warriors and formed Judas Priest. Judas Priest restored heavy metal by creating a new wave of metal that blew the crap out of disco. KISS then realized thier mistake and redeemed themselves by making metal once again. Alice Cooper stepped down and Halford ruled Ozzfest. Under Halford's rule, heavy metal seemed to explode into full power. Many great metal gods were created, but the one that stood out from the rest was Bruce Dickinson. Halford accepted him as his son, like Alice and Ozzy had done. And then, all was at peace for metal... Haha! Peaceful metal. Yeah right!
