Dave was your typical heavy metal enthusiast—long hair, leather jacket, and an air guitar that could rival any rock legend. One Saturday, he decided to turn his love for heavy metal into a new hobby: dance. Armed with a pair of oversized headphones and some questionable YouTube tutorials, he attempted to combine headbanging with traditional dance moves. The local park quickly became his personal stage as he whipped around, spinning and stomping to the beat of his favorite blasting tunes, completely oblivious to the puzzled stares from onlookers.
The sight of Dave busting out moves that looked more like a bear in a blender than the headbanging he intended was entertaining enough, but what really had people in stitches was when he accidentally kicked his portable speaker, sending it flying into a nearby duck pond. Instead of retrieving it, he triumphantly threw up his hands and yelled, “I call that a ‘splash solo!’” as if it were all part of the act. The bewildered ducks, meanwhile, looked like they were seriously reconsidering their life choices!

Downvoted by humorless gremlins. Life must be hard.

And the irony is that not only I’m gay but also made of metal 🤷♂️

Actually, this is from “and justice for all” album, [the song “One”](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_(Metallica_song)), an antiwar song about a person that comes back from war without arms or legs, mute, blind and deaf after stepping in a landmine. https://youtu.be/apK2jCrfnsk?t=272
K
yeah, I know what the song is from. They lost to Jethro Tull at the Grammy’s and what you’re describing is the video which was pulled from the movie Johnny Got His Gun.
V
We got the joke. Professor Metal was just trying to school you instead of laughing.
G
I love that he saw a guy able to connect Metallica to the song, to also know an older less famous album of theirs enough to make a pun from it and said to himself “I bet that dude doesn’t realize one was on justice. Better get to typin”
I
Professor Metal and Dance Instructor Metal do not get along.
E
But the Metal will live on
D
ah, thanks, I didn’t know the context.
S

It’s esp funny because these are all genuinely straight men. They all do these zesty ig reels
R
I keep telling people, you can dance to any song with rhythm with any kind of dance.
B
Unironically this is my favorite way to dance to metal
V
[Here is another of my favorties!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epITos5Hf2E)
F
Amazing 😀
G
r/sharedbpm My personal fav https://youtu.be/84WpcmJ28Yg

I did that shit to my wife while Lamb of God was playing out of our speakers and she laughed pretty hard at the absurdity of it. Hey, its what the music made me feel like doing at the time lmao.
B
Yeah thats what cracks me up, the subversion of expectation. Hard heavy music and a sissy walk.
F
I just wanna see the look on the faces of other metal fans. Please record next time!
M
I’m a metal fan and I find it funny
M
And now I want to see a wall of death start line dancing instead of charging.
F
haha 🤣
J
If someone can dance to Tool or Meshuggah without fucking up the rhythm, Ill give them a dollar.
B
How about to a full-on prog-metal song with like 30 time changes? 🙂 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3\_2tumOdEg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3_2tumOdEg)
K
[Easy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba5HFp1rb20) Jokes aside, I was grooving exactly like the guy at 0:44 when I saw Meshuggah last year. Just with a joint not a cig.
Z
A bunch of Meshuggah’s songs aren’t that hard to dance to once you figure out where the 1 is, since almost all their songs are in 4/4 and stay that way throughout. Unless you really wanna jam to what the guitars are doing instead of the backbeat of course.
J
Yeah I kinda realized that as I typed it. Im pretty sure Thomas’ kick drums are usually 4/4, but it sounded edgy anyway🙃
Z
The kicks are actually the part that most often follow the guitars and are what will confuse you if you focus on them, the hi-hats are usually the safest bet to find the groove. :]
V
You can, but you shouldn’t
S
Darkness Imprisoning me
L
All that I see Absolute horror
D
I cannot live I cannot die
T
Trapped in myself, body my holding cell Landmine (Jason Newsted growl) has taken my sight
