You don't see this:



Then I will send you to the source: http://www.armory.com/tests/headbanger.html

No, just the texts and html code..

Thanks!

I answered 18 out of 100 questions and came away with 82.0% headbanger pure...

I bet Johan will be very unpure.

I got 59% , 41 questions yes.

Haha, that's what I assumed . You are an experienced, filthy headbanger .

But looking back, it means that you are a pure headbanger if you don't check any box. So my mom would be a pure headbanger?

She would be "headbanger pure" meaning that she has had no experiences with it.

It is a bit weird but has a historical explanation. "Purity tests" are meant to be tests that checks a person's social purity, or how depraved he/she is. The less experienced in sex, drugs, crime, etc, the more pure you are. Then they made purity tests for other topics, like headbanging. I have a standard Purity Test stickied in this section, too. I bet you, coming from the Netherlands, will score good on that one, too

77% headbanger pure. Is that a good score to have?

It means you are no Johan.

Do I want to be a Johan?

I probably could have done better if so many of the questions weren't about "moshing"!

Johan is a nice guy. More people should be like him . I can't really say whether you should be more like him, though

85% headbanger pure.
I lolled at almost all of the questions.

I lolled that Johan got 59%. I bet he has many times headbanged for no reason

We need more people to take the test!

66% Headbanger Pure

2nd place after Johan.

Johan: 59 %
Puddledumpling: 66 %
Soulmonster: 74 %
DruDiet: 77 %
Pawnshop-Sitars: 82 %
DanyYo: 85 %

Take that, bitches! \m/

Best moshing experience was intentional at a Megadeth show circa Hanger 18 tour - band/audience interaction was perfect joyous mayhem.

Worst moshing experience was unintentional at a Black Crowes show circa Southern Harmony tour - band was great, audience laced with wannabe gang bangers who roughed up small sized girls ONLY, to bully their way up front to abuse Chris Robinson. They hurt me unpleasantly, ruined the show for me cuz I love the Crowes and who the hell moshes at a Black Crowes concert?

Head Banging at the moment to live Ronnie Wood so maybe I wood but I do it well.
