My 14 month old granddaughter appears to like metal. She was playing with her toys minding her business
as I was channel surfing through the music stations. When I got to the metal station she stopped what
she was doing, planted herself in front of the TV, and started bobbing her head up and down with her hands
raised. I changed the channel to see her reaction and she started crying. I put Trivium back on, the crying
stopped and the head started bobbing again.

Imagine that, my granddaughter is a metalhead.  ;D

Nice!  :D

Our kid likes Weird Al and Gnarls Barkley.

Yeah, teach-em the good stuff when they're young. http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/12/headbang.gif

I'm glad she's in to Trivium. That proves she has some taste. What's important is to give her a broad range. Start off with the real simple power metal and move her through. With any luck, by the time she's going to school she'll be a black metal afficianado and that much better than all her peers.

Wise words from a person who knows :)

Seeing a 5-year old in a Dimmu Borgir shirt would warm my heart in a way I can't even describe.

My 2-year old cousin appears to like metal.. it's funny, she cried when I played Nirvana for my uncle, but laughed and clapped when I played the opening riff to a Cannibal Corpse song, "Gallery of Suicide".

I shall heed the words of the wise.

Her mother listens to rap and dance music, At least at my house she can listen to something good.

Or how about Iron Maiden's Bring Your Daughter or Motley Crue's Shout At The Devil ?

Better than letting her become a hippy.

How dare they.  They should've known better :P

They smell... Good?







Hippy smell, only I can't tell
Patcholi oil, sixties hell
You're not real, and you're not surreal
Can't you tell, hippy smell

Can't you tell...

She's got the hippy smell, ladies and gentleman
It smelled of patcholi oil on the brain
She's got the Grateful Dead posters hanging up in the house everywhere
She smokes the clove cigarettes
She says, "I wish I lived in the sixties
Because those were really neat times"
Well, I have a thing for ya, you know you wouldn't wanna be alive
In the sixties 'cause there was a lotta s**t happenin'
And ya probably woulda, ya know,
Your hippy little ass probably woulda gotten killed or something
Goddamn s**tface

A nice little Ween song... I couldn't find the lyrics ANYWHERE, so I had to copy them from guitar tabs. What kind of song has guitar tabs online, but no lyrics?

Little Autumn's mom came home and had a little chuckle at her daughter headbanging. She asked if
metal would have a negative influence on her child. I said no. I am a firm believer that music has no
influence on children. Music has no bearing on a child's behavior. If it did, to paraphrase Rob Halford,
" The streets would be littered with corpses." Autumn enjoys the beat and the music, leave her alone.

That is so funny Kevin!! Vaughn likes The Ramones...and I see your little granddaughter, Layla is a fan of the Ramones already too (Tim sent me some pics with the two of them in matching Ramones shirts)...that is SOO cute!!! ;D :)

I was wondering if he ever sent the pictures, I'm glad to see you got them.

I will try to break her of that habit.  ;D

She could be peaking too soon! By the time she's 13 it could all reverse and she'll be into hip hop or something!?!

I'll PM you something pretty cool about that, you might get a kick out of it.

I just hope she doesn't join a rock band when she's older.

get this hat!

I absolutely have to get her a hat like that.  ;D

What's wrong with joining a rock band?

She's a woman. There's no place for women in music. Silly Dominic.

If we start letting them in music, they'll want to drive or vote or speak in church.

Too funny!  ;D

When my daughter was a year old, she'd get up in front of the TV whenever a certain Burger King commercial came on and 'bounce' up and down to KC & The Sunshine Band's 'That's The Way (I Like It)'...

Even now she still loves the disco tunes she hears... :D

It just keeps getting better, where's the video camera when you need one?

Over my mother's house today my grandson was playing Guitar Hero 2, while he was plucking along
with Mother by Danzig, there was Autumn bobbing her head and she appeared to playing air guitar.

When this girl gets famous she better remember her grandpa, who made it all happen.  ;D

This should go over really well in kindergarden!  ;D


For Thanksgiving my daughter (who is in kindergarten) has to disguise a cardboard cut-out of turkey (it was some silly project based on a book they read).  I saw all the other kids', some of the  turkeys were disguised to look like cheerleaders, Santa, a hunter, and doctors.  My daughter had the only turkey that looked like Gene Simmons, complete with long black hair,a leather vest, platform boots and guitar.   ;D ;D

^ Your daughter is cool.

You never have it handy when something good happens.

Guitar Hero 2, is that the video game where they play the guitar?  I bet she looks adorable!  :)

I'll have to see if I can find it so I can take a photo. 

get this hat!




That's beautiful.  :)
