From the very first days in the days of bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin and KISS, right through to the more contemporary and up-to-date day where there are countless bands and styles... there is a attribute many metal fans posses : defiance. Most of the time this defiance is misinterpreted as teenage rebellion [A.K.A a phase we will apparently outgrow] The defiance of metalheads stands out as a strong expression of resistance : "Screw you; I'm doing this way"
