How do you headbang? I notice that when many musicians do "Windmill" or "Helicopter" headbanging, they tend to do it counter-clockwise (Like Alex Webster and George Fisher) I have noticed this with many other bands too... am I the only one that windmills clockwise?

...I think you got the two mixed up.
Uhm counter-clockwise, but I can't exaggerate otherwise, ehm... I roll on the ground... so to avoid this problem I usually headbang back and forth. In both cases the pain to the neck the following days is the same! XD
[If I have to think if clockwise or counter-clockwise I start having doubts ahahah]

None of you are metal enough. I outsource my headbanging to a scoliotic child in India. He screams a lot, but it gets DONE.

The clockwise and counter-clockwise stuff: is it from your own point of view or from the point of view of a person looking at you?
I do it clockwise from my point of sight, and thrashing.

I like to do a figure eight motion with a side of hair in the face head bobbing. But I usually don't headbang because I'll fuck up if I do.

Oh fuck, I never realised I was a gay thread until now, thanks for calling me a gay thread you dumb shit.
Or are you calling me a pot? I don't quite understand, it seems in your attempt to ridicule me you forgot to make any sort of sense.
I usually bang clockwise, but sometimes I just do the straight jacket thing.

I was labeling you as a hypocrite. You called this thread the "gayest thread ever," yet, you have a tendency to create ones with a lot less of a purpose than the discussion of headbanging (I know it sounds unlikely to some, but it's true), as this thread does. If you're still confused, perhaps this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pot_calling_the_kettle_black#_note-0) can help you understand (by the way, I sometimes use the terms "black" and "nigger" synonymously).

Wow! You really do have an awesome sense of humor.
Back and forth, of course, because when I rock out, I THRASH about. It isn't done right, however, unless you're pretending to be an extra in the video to Madhouse by Anthrax. Throw in a couple of evil laughs and you're done.

I think that's specific to doom metal. Can anyone verify?
I do it like I'm in a straightjacket. Due to the laws of inertia and the quick change in direction, your brain smashes into your skull with much more force, effectively killing more braincells :).

I've made worse threads? If so, I'm sorry my man! Honestly. I am.
However, purpose is subjective, as it depends on the objective that a person has pre-defined. Purpose is subjective, except as related to measurable phenomena. Since we are relating to opinions, mine and your opinion does not matter. So fuck you.

This thread seems to be doing fine to me.
Btw, is the banging clock wise from the bangers reference of clock movement or the viewers reference of clock movement? I wonder if it has anything to do with being right or left handed.
