Headbanging has been branded a "health hazard" by the first ever study into the sacred heavy metal ritual.
A report, published in today's British Medical Journal by Declan Patton and Andrew McIntosh from the School For Risk And Safety Sciences at the University Of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia concluded that headbanging leaves participants with "similar effects to whiplash."
The pair conducted an extensive study of headbanging, attending numerous concerts and observing various headbanging techniques. They were then able to come up with a biomechanical analysis and a "theoretical headbanging model".
The study showed that a typical death metal song has approximately 146 beats-per-minute, which, combined with headbanging arcs of at least 45 degrees, will more than likely "cause mild head and neck injury." They also warned that faster tempos and wider arcs provide a "definite risk of mild traumatic brain injury."
And don't just take their word for it, doctors believe that in 2005, Evanescence guitarist Terry Balsamo suffered a stroke from headbanging too hard.
(and Good evening to all!)

Of course, when I was young there was no "cable". We had an antenna on top of the house. That was it. I believe I actually bought cable around my freshman year in college. I had that long box with a bunch of buttons on it for a "remote". It had a long wire which ran to the television. HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ah! The "good, old days"!
...OH YES,GOOD MORNING.
