How created the "metal sign"
You know, the devil sign of metal. Everyone says it was DIO that created it but i would have to say....... John Lennon. [IMG]http://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr62/klaint/p2502169.jpg[/IMG]
Well as far as I know, Dio has the Metal sign from his grandmother. She used to keep the bad spirits aways.
Yeah that's a known story. But also half of Italy probably knew this sign. What i'm talking about is the first one that inspired it to rock-metal.
dio wasnt the first one to do it, but he made it what it is today
Well the oldest i could find is Lennon. This is also similar somewhat with the story that Black Sabbath created headbanging because the people on the back where throwing bottles on the front so people had to leap their heads to avoid them. But there is no evidence in that one so...
As Dio has said, it's an old Italian gesture or something like that. However, it's current meaning only came about when Dio started using it.
