    So, I bought a magazine for $25, it's basically a special edition, on the history of heavy metal. One guy wrote what I thought was a brilliant article, and it ended with the sentence - 'and don't forget to bang the head that does not bang'. There's a virtual prize in it for the first person who can explain what he was referring to.

              Give the man a cigar :-) I remember laughing about it when I bought the LP, and I was more than a little amused to see it become a bylne in a magazine article.
