    Sadly no, all of our fans are dyson air magnifiers. No heavy metal parts at all.

    Love a bit of metal.

    Metallica/Pantera/Death/Morbid Angel being amongst the favourites. Along with newer stuff like Korn/Deftones etc

    Right now, Ministry and Death are getting a good play :)

    Serious question, why on earth do we not have more people posting on the Rock & Metal Forum if we have this many fans on boards? Are people unaware of it in general? Or do they just prefer sticking to AH? Or is it something else? I'd actually be really curious interested to know. There's currently a forum feedback thread over there.

    I'm actually surprised at the turnout of this thread.

    People just seem to stick to AH as far as I see, that's where the crowd tends to be just checking in with whatever is happening here.

    Take the political threads for example, always loads of them in AH, always a lot of replies, everyone has an opinion and there was always lots of discussion and arguments. They shipped them all out to the Politcs Cafe and not many people followed.

    As far as I see people in general online don't want to discuss anything but more so just want to give their opinion whatever is being talked about. AH is the spot for that.

    I guess the type of music you like might not necessarily define who you are hence no need for discussion? I guess it's like lay Catholics not becoming priests.

    Discussing something you like isn't the same thing as that thing defining you.

    But you can see how liking a particular type of music doesn't necessarily mean you feel the need to discuss it? As in my analogy, most cyclists, Game of Thrones watchers, even residents of whatever locations probably don't visit those related forums either.

    Yeah, but they're responding to a specific question. "Do we have many heavy metal fans on After Hours?" I think they are answering this, but most obviously have no need to discuss their taste in music. I don't know if I'd describe myself as a music nut, but I do listen to a lot of metal/industrial/goth/alternative web radio and youtube, certainly hours a day. I've posted a few times in the metal forum but I don't really hang out there.

    I was at this very gig! I had forgotten how awesome it was until I found this video cropping up on my news feed on Facebook.

    I'm also in love with this band at the moment.

    Shreddy Eddie always does it for me, however.

    Plus, I love me a bit of Rammstein every now and then.

    Big rock fan from back in the day, used to practically live in Fibbers and Bruxelles for about 10 years. I'm more old school rock than metal but I am a fan of Metallica, Rammstein and Slipknot. Still listen to my Disturbed, System of a Down and Drowning Pool albums a lot though.

    Bought their first album When it came out 'Eaten back to Life', had the T-Shirt too.
    I think the cover of the album got banned after not long being out.
    So if you hadn't bought it when it came out first you got a black cover.
