Jan. 21, 2005 | OSLO, Norway --
President Bush's "Hook 'em, 'horns" salute got lost in translation in Norway, where shocked people interpreted his hand gesture during his inauguration as a salute to Satan.
That's what it means in the Nordics when you throw up the right hand with the index and pinky fingers raised, a gesture popular among heavy metal groups and their fans in the region.

Speaking as a die-hard thrower of the goats, I lament its misassociation with University of Texas, especially when attempted by a Bush.

Stence is half-right. The one popularized by Ronnie James Dio in the seventies indeed has the thumb out (see footage of Dio lecturing the audience about it on Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell tour: "A lotta people are sayin' this means somethin' it doesn't mean! But it means 'long live rock 'n' roll!'"). Anybody who'd done it with thumbs-out during the great Bay Area Thrash age('82-'86), though , would've gotten their thumbs snapped off by moshing amphetamine warriors. Quite rightly, I must say, the thumbs-out one is all mellow an' shit.

Seldom has one sentence been more wise and correct. Do you think Lemmy can kick over his head though? Years of hard living and all that.
I deeply love this thread. The nuances and appropriate uses of the Devil horns/Hook 'em horns salutes is the sort of question that requires serious and carfeul analysis.
