are your parents metal?

well?

mine are definitely not. reasonably certain the Kinks are the hardest thing my dad ever rocked out to.

murdered my parents, NOT WORTHY! i am born of the NIGHT!

Far from.

Not at all. Though my Dad likes Slade.

my dad likes ac/dc and owns 'appetite for destruction'

figure that's pretty good for a dude who turns 75 in three weeks

was raised mostly by my mom and stepdad. mom liked 60s pop like the beatles and stones, simon & garfunkel, creedence, joan baez. plus whatever random catchiness happened to cross her path: abba, graceland, "music box dancer", etc. stepdad primarily liked folk, bluegrass, swing and old-fashioned, hillbilly country. plus weird outliers like edith piaf and early moog music. oh, and they both listened to a LOT of classical music: bach, other baroque stuff, harpsichord music, spanish classical guitar.

my dad was a 60s/70s hipster guy, looked and dressed like a combo of donald sutherland and the camel cigarettes guy. had hendrix, grateful dead, led zep and doors records in his san fran apt. which is kind of metal, i guess - but not really. for my 15th birthday, he sent me combat rock and boys don't cry, neither of which i'd heard. pretty cool, but hardly a boost to his hesher cred.

so no.

Closest my folks got was going went to see Status Quo once, think they were considered kinda metal way back in the dim and distant past.

went

my mom owns the inna-gadda-da-vida lp, which is . . . not in character

my parents aren't metal, but there is a picture of my mom circa 1980 or so wearing a t-shirt with the Heavy Metal magazine logo on it

she was a fan of the artwork!

My mom went to see Metallica with me. I wasn't thrilled. She was more of a hard rocker, though.

My friend Richard's parents were into death metal and Carcass when he was a teenager. Or they were just trying to embarrass him.

They may be the least metal people alive. Maybe that makes them the ideal 'metal parents'?

One of the few tapes my dad owned was Def Leppard's "Hysteria" though I never heard him listen to it. He also said he has a speaker fall on his head while he was listening to Led Zeppelin's second album. It was not a cartoon so he did not get comedy amnesia.
My mom likes the Osmonds
My parents arev metl.

bloody hippies

My mom likes the Osmonds

The Osmonds had some pretty metal moments, "Hold Her Tight" and "Crazy Horses" and stuff.

Fuck yeah. They saw the MC5 and Seger in Detroit in '68.

mom and pops were both army officers. dad built patriot missiles. mom voted mcgovern while teaching math classes in georgia suburbs. mom did the books for our local habitat for humanity and got fired for knowing too much. both drink microbeer like it was iced tea. as a kid I was exposed to way too much hooked on classics and doobie brothers, but fuck yeah my parents were and remain metal as hell.

I mean shit motherfuckers I grew up in the buckle of the bible belt and I never went to any church nothin' unless it was a wedding or a funeral or I was gettin' paid to play accompaniments

xp best/most metal answer ever.

mrs and mr bot sound pretty awesome but i don't know about \m/

maybe if they'd named him wolfbot

dad's metalness: when I was in cali learning korean and dating this girl who wouldn't break up with her old bf because I was a moron. I was on the phone with mom and said well I'm not doing so great, how do you deal when you feel like you just give and give and don't get anything back? mom says (no hesitation) "you know who should talk to about that is your dad" and hands over the phone. I repeat the question. Dad: "Oh, well that's life!"

dire wolves then emerged from the frost and ate me

friggin' tombot. nuff said.

hahaha

they did give you a totally metal nose, tho

rufus to thread btw

my dad was a research chemist; as a little kid visiting his lab he used to pour out a tube of liquid nitrogen on the floor for (awesome) effect

when i was in cub scouts (wtf was i thinking tbh) he helped me make a pinebox derby car that was filled with not lead but mercury. it didn't win -- the mercury sloshed back when the car hit the straightaway -- but that is in fact liquid metal. we called it the cinnacar lol

My dad is very jazz/classical. My mum liked Cher.
