I don't think everything and anything posted here should be in the final list, there's gotta be some sort of selection. Also, perhaps we should start another thread to discuss this and only use this to post the list so is easier to follow the count.

No! I'd feel like Hitler! I quite like the spontaneous, anarchist style of this thread. 95% of all posts have been dead-on so far, and none have been totally off-balance imo. Some are pretty similar, but most of these could be interpreted differently with some creative thinking/willful ignorance. The rest can be edited by the poster after it's been pointed out.
Quite the list so far!
Hails to those who proposed #s 94, 205, 217, and 304
I must request that #276 be stricken from the record- IMO nothing kills a heavy metal tune faster than a saxophone
A few additions:
328: Steve Grimmet's giant orange spandex jumpsuit
329: Album reviews w/ descriptions like, "guitars flowing like the blood of a thousand virgins across a post-apocalyptic landscape littered with the ruins of a destroyed christian civilization" (from an old issue of PITT or SOD I think)
330: the lyrics to 'Awaken the guardian'
331: ...and of course, Blue Cheer
"I'm sorry Sam, we had real chemistry. But like a monkey on the sun, our love was too hot to live"

334- pushing a couple of drunk dykes over the security railing at a Judas Priest concert because they wouldn't stop elbowing people in the back trying to get to the edge of the rail and then watching the bouncers drag them out of the club
335- watching a bouncer choke-slam a guy for trying to spin-kick people in a Misfits' pit
336- The fact that 'Night on Brocken' comes with three different covers and they all suck
337- The first pressing of 'Lightning to the Nations' has no print anywhere on the cover or labels
338- staying up til 2 am to watch Headbangers Ball
339- hot chicks in bad 80s glam metal videos
340- the evil 'lettuce men mascots' on the Randy and Lezlie Paice picture sleeves

Wouldn't this fall under "Falsetto" in which I already posted?

These two made me seriously laugh...

Not really because there's singers that sing in constant high voice (which could be falsetto or modal... most metalheads sing falsetto highs though) and then there's coronas where a singer will accentuate the peak of a song with a high note (again, can be false note or not). I am talking about that specific effect when a singer hits that high note and just supercharges my weak and weary heart with MOLTEN STEEL FROM HELL
Also even if it were similar to your entry, it still has other words in it that you didn't use so I'd appreciate it if we didn't try so much to condense the list.

Prime bloodboiler of an example if you ask me:

And justice is done
And justice is done
