So we all agree that Joey DeMaio and the boys men of Manowar are more METAL then we could ever dream to be.
They could kick all our asses, then drive over us with their motorcycles, then play Black Wind Fire and Steel to a crowd of 40,000 screaming Brazilian METAL fans, then sleep with some really hot women and it wouldn’t even be in their top 10,000 “most METAL” days ever.

But when you are feeling down, and the thoughts that you have lost your way in the life long quest of being true METAL, remember this…

These grown men put on these ‘outfits’ and stood around in a studio waiting to get their picture taken by someone who didn’t dare laugh or even crack a smile as they got oiled by the assistants and tried to figure out if they looked tougher with a stuff animal puppet on their right hand or left hand.

Manowar, I take my cod piece off to you and salute.
HAIL TRUE METAL
