Subject: My Granddaughter is a headbanger...

Written By: loki 13 on 01/20/07 at 6:14 pm

My 14 month old granddaughter appears to like metal. She was playing with her toys minding her business
as I was channel surfing through the music stations. When I got to the metal station she stopped what
she was doing, planted herself in front of the TV, and started bobbing her head up and down with her hands
raised. I changed the channel to see her reaction and she started crying. I put Trivium back on, the crying
stopped and the head started bobbing again.

Imagine that, my granddaughter is a metalhead.  ;D

I'm glad she's in to Trivium. That proves she has some taste. What's important is to give her a broad range. Start off with the real simple power metal and move her through. With any luck, by the time she's going to school she'll be a black metal afficianado and that much better than all her peers.

Seeing a 5-year old in a Dimmu Borgir shirt would warm my heart in a way I can't even describe.

My 2-year old cousin appears to like metal.. it's funny, she cried when I played Nirvana for my uncle, but laughed and clapped when I played the opening riff to a Cannibal Corpse song, "Gallery of Suicide".

I shall heed the words of the wise.

Her mother listens to rap and dance music, At least at my house she can listen to something good.

They smell... Good?







Hippy smell, only I can't tell
Patcholi oil, sixties hell
You're not real, and you're not surreal
Can't you tell, hippy smell

Can't you tell...

She's got the hippy smell, ladies and gentleman
It smelled of patcholi oil on the brain
She's got the Grateful Dead posters hanging up in the house everywhere
She smokes the clove cigarettes
She says, "I wish I lived in the sixties
Because those were really neat times"
Well, I have a thing for ya, you know you wouldn't wanna be alive
In the sixties 'cause there was a lotta s**t happenin'
And ya probably woulda, ya know,
Your hippy little ass probably woulda gotten killed or something
Goddamn s**tface

A nice little Ween song... I couldn't find the lyrics ANYWHERE, so I had to copy them from guitar tabs. What kind of song has guitar tabs online, but no lyrics?

Little Autumn's mom came home and had a little chuckle at her daughter headbanging. She asked if
metal would have a negative influence on her child. I said no. I am a firm believer that music has no
influence on children. Music has no bearing on a child's behavior. If it did, to paraphrase Rob Halford,
" The streets would be littered with corpses." Autumn enjoys the beat and the music, leave her alone.

She's a woman. There's no place for women in music. Silly Dominic.

If we start letting them in music, they'll want to drive or vote or speak in church.

Too funny!  ;D

When my daughter was a year old, she'd get up in front of the TV whenever a certain Burger King commercial came on and 'bounce' up and down to KC & The Sunshine Band's 'That's The Way (I Like It)'...

Even now she still loves the disco tunes she hears... :D

It just keeps getting better, where's the video camera when you need one?

Over my mother's house today my grandson was playing Guitar Hero 2, while he was plucking along
with Mother by Danzig, there was Autumn bobbing her head and she appeared to playing air guitar.

When this girl gets famous she better remember her grandpa, who made it all happen.  ;D

For Thanksgiving my daughter (who is in kindergarten) has to disguise a cardboard cut-out of turkey (it was some silly project based on a book they read).  I saw all the other kids', some of the  turkeys were disguised to look like cheerleaders, Santa, a hunter, and doctors.  My daughter had the only turkey that looked like Gene Simmons, complete with long black hair,a leather vest, platform boots and guitar.   ;D ;D

You never have it handy when something good happens.

Guitar Hero 2, is that the video game where they play the guitar?  I bet she looks adorable!  :)

I'll have to see if I can find it so I can take a photo.
