Metal Propagation

Heavy Metal Sign Holder

Whether good or bad might be up to debate depending, but it always puts a grin on my face to see some form of heavy metal propagation out there in the wild.

The most recent I can remember is from a bar here in downtown Detroit -- there was a giant chalkboard advertising what beer they had on tap, and for Oberon whoever wrote the board, wrote the first O in the signature/logo style of Opeth.

Share similar encounters!

I am unaware of such a movement.


There is a doomsday sign guy here though who is awesome. He has one of those cleaved signs where you wear it over your head and it hangs down over everything, it's scribbled with different quotes from Revelations and some political stuff, and he carries a full-size marionette with him.

That clip was funny.

That clip is great!!!

I wear my headphones all day at work (not supposed to, but whatever). Working out in the public by yourself is awesome!

Not metal but for awhile in downtown eugene there used to be this bum that had a cardboard sign that just said "give me some f*cking money".

haha, that is good. Out here a bum had one that read "Why lie, I need money for booze." I gave him some.

How does that sign holder not get paper cuts on his throat?

Cause he is protected by the gods of metal. Duh.

Seems to me I've seen that, but can't remember where. The Detroit Beer Co. maybe?

Not allowed to listen to my music at work either. I keep mine hidden under my work shirt attatched to the collar of my undershirt at full volume and either pause or turn it down when a supervisor is near by (what they don't know won't hurt them).
