I Am the Z

Because drums are fun
And I like lyrics too
And cowbells

$inthefade: Did you know? Ronnie James Dio is known for popularizing the sign of the horns in heavy metal.[3][4] His Italian grandmother used it to ward off the evil eye (which is known as malocchio, Dio’s term for the gesture). Dio began using the sign soon after joining (1979) the metal band Black Sabbath. The previous singer in the band, Ozzy Osbourne, was rather well known at using the “peace” sign at concerts, raising the index and middle finger in the form of a V. Dio, in an attempt to connect with the fans, wanted to similarly use a hand gesture. However, not wanting to copy Osbourne, he chose to use the sign his grandmother always made.[5] The sign would later be appropriated by heavy metal fans under the name “maloik”, a corruption of the original malocchio. [wiki] Maybe I should start FUCKYEAHRONNIEJAMESDIO. I’m going to see the Dio version of Sabbath (aka Heaven & Hell) next week. Can’t Fucking Wait! \m/$
