Bang Your Head |

|
Let's get something straight from the get go - I was NOT a metalhead. Not a glam rocker, either. A lot of music happened and I had no idea it was even going on. I have watched VH-1 specials about the top 100 metal songs ever and Hubby cringes as I ask with every new song "who is that?" or "is that Black Sabbath?" I tried to like metal. I had a friend from work in HS (Dairy QUEEN!) who was a metalhead, and she forced me to buy a Ratt cassette on a shopping trip. I am sure I was reaching for Thompson Twins when she shoved my hand in the R's and made me pull out fourteen dollars worth of one-hit-wonder. Sigh. Currently, I listen to the mostly drivelschlock of modern adult alternative (105.9 - favorite of cool mom's everywhere) and bounce around all the stations near those numbers, often pausing on 106.9 Country Legends (Dolly singing Jolene gives me the shivers), and I have noticed a song that has come back into rotation. "Come on feel the noise, girls rock your boys" I scream at the top of my lungs with the volume well past 11. I am transported back to a HS dance in the gym where I was dancing with a boy from Buhler and we were rocking to Quiet Riot's Cum On Feel the Noize. I danced a slow one with him next and he asked me what music I liked. My response was "Quiet Wiot". I had just developed a speech impediment AND lied in the same statement. Metal health will drive you mad.

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and...
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
