Another one: Guitarists grimmace when they pull off the hardest part of the song, they could probobly do it with a smile but they got to make it look like their in loads of concentration and pain.

The one guy that grimaces and has like an evil sneer on his face ALL the time, is Dave Mustaine but he kicks ass so its ok. BTW honestly the "heart-part" is definetly the most overused cliche. Jeez get a thesaurus people.

EDIT: Dude Jedi knight thats Dave Mustaine headbanging in your avatar

Then throw up.

That's why if I listen to any thing from the '80s it's Metallica, Black sabbath, Iron Maiden, or something of that genre.

You know, I forgot the most common recent one. Every hit top 40 song, or at least almost all of them, is about going to a club.

At least Nickelback / Creed/ groups like that that all sound the same sing about somewhat different things.

Megadeth is just a poor mans Metallica. No wonder they never really got anywhere.

At least Megadeth didn't sell out, plus Metallica will not give Mustaine credit on songs he assisted in writing. Although Mustaine does kind of deserve this treatment as he's a bit of a douchebag. But no way, Megadeth rocks, harder, faster, louder and BETTER.
