This image shows a stereotypical view of a Metalhead. The most notable things would be the long hair style and the aggressive looking attire. There are not many Metalheads that derive from the long haired look but there are some, and not only fans, but band members too. The most notable of these would be Kerry King from Slayer and Rob Halford from Judas Priest. These two metalhead icons have adopted the skinhead look, which also gives off an aggressive attitude which could be what saves them from being classed as "Posers", a common metalhead term used to describe someone "Posing" as a metalhead. Also known as trying to be something your not. However, there are other metalhead icons with short hair styles that don't come across aggressive. An example of this would be James Hetfield of Metallica who now sports an almost short back and sides hairstyle.
The attire of a metalhead is crucial. Blue denim or big leather jackets covered in metal studs and patches of bands and artwork is the stereotypical clothing of a metalhead. Bands such as Judas priest inspired the leather wear and massive amounts of metal studs whereas bands like Iron Maiden and Motle Crue inspired the blue denim jacket covered in art work.
Beer is a very important asset to a metalhead. Beer is the fuel for the fire and keeps them mean, keen and ready to rock out.
The "devil horns" hand sign is like the welcoming hand shake of the Metalhead culture. This is crucial in being accepted by the metalhead crowd.
