Tarnished Iron: Danny Marianino
Fighting. Something Metalheads have been engaged in many times since the dawn of time, from the fist-a-cuffs in the pits, to the backstage brawls, to the battlefront known as the internet. Why we fight is for a series of reasons, from band members settling disputes ranging from girls/drugs/money/musical notes/etc, to the accidental punch-in-a-face inside a pit that leaves the receiver seething with anger and vengeance, to arguing about a band "style of Metal (aka, sub-genres debate)" on a forum/message board/YouTube Channel/random internet median/etc that escalates to a fight of words. While this act of violence (and especially words) is a natural trait amongst our people, it is nothing special to see 2 guys go at it (where as seeing 2 gals go at it is).
One night in Tuba City, Arizona, on July 3, 2004, changed the spectrum of what fighting amongst the Metal ranks was all about when Danny Marianino from the "Thugcore(?)" band North Side Kings took a swing and nailed Glenn Danzig, knocking him to the floor.

Frankford Guitar Heart Box of Chocolates
The box of chocolates. One of the key symbols of romance. This contraption of cardboard and processed cacao has historically been intertwined with all that is Valentines Day and love. How many cartoons (especially cartoons), TV shows and movies has this item been shown in some comical way to present the characters desire for affection of the person he wants? Too many to count.
While we can go on and on about boxed chocolates, we are seeking a higher representation for the Steel-Clad Warriors who desire something on our level to express our love the only way we can, and so far, no such item has been available... until today.
Today's blog post is quite possibly the apex example of Metal Love, and it is Frankford's Guitar Heart Box of Chocolates.

Mello Smello 3D Skull Guitar Valentines Day Cards
Valentines Day Cards. Something Metal Legions have seen plenty of times (but rarely received). Why we don't bother with these is pretty simple, they are not Metal.
While the concept of giving a card with a heart on it is something foreign to our people, the purpose behind it can never be underestimated, and that's to attract women.
We now have the perfect card that can accomplish this feat and still retain the Metallic elements needed to deliver our message.

Beavis and Butt-head Valentines Day Boxer Shorts
Love advice. Something Metalheads can use A LOT. We are not known for being the most lovable creatures in the world. While Glam Metal may have given us an idea of what love is, it definitely falls short of the mark needed to make the impact on the opposite sex as donning yourself in ladies makeup and sparkling pink spandex will not win over the gals in the "2010's".
So what's a Metalhead to do when the only extensive database of love is from an outdated subculture extinct since the 80's? Go to the 90's and seek advice from the next best experts in Metal romance; Beavis and Butt-head.
With slogans like "Hey baby", "come to Butt-head" or "boioioioing!!!", these 2 have mastered the feat of attracting women (at least by Metal standards as they managed to go up to women and speak with them. That's leap and bounds ahead of what the average Metal fan can accomplish), they are Heavy Metal's standard of handling the opposite sex.
To commemorate this evolution in Metal love, Target has provided the perfect attire if in the event we manage to evolve past the stage of just talking to women. Boxer Shorts.

Skittles Darkside
Candy. A food item Metalheads know very well considering our "dietary needs" (a term I used loosely). By itself, candy is Metal, considering how it slowly it rots the teeth and it does more harm done than good to the human body. It also helps candy is frequently found at the one place Metalheads are known to hang out in, the convenience store (aka the Quickie Mart).
While candy has the necessary merits on its own to be Metal, sometimes a sweet treat comes along that pushes the sugar infused food item beyond steel borders.

Love Skulls, Crossbones and Hearts Boxer Shorts
Valentines Day. Not exactly the most Metal holiday, unless you count the breakups that occurs on this holiday due to any number of reasons. While this holiday only brings heartbreak to the legions, every once in a while, it brings forth a Metallic touch (I am not talking about Glam Metal, although it's not that far away considering their subject matter).
Channel 13 is proud to announce Valentines Day most Metal offerings, and today we begin this series of posts with boxer shorts that add a touch of Metal to love, or love to Metal, or vice versa.

Inkology Rock Star Guitar Pen
Pens. Since the dawn of time (more like when we all started 4th grade) have been a educational utensil that we needed to do our homework (or graffiti notebook/bathroom walls/desks/etc.). They have also allowed Metalheads to write lyrics (or notes to pass along to fellow headbangers (at least back in the 80's/90's, these days it is the smartphones that reigns supreme on the communication front)).
While pens are not the most Metal creation in the world (probably more under-appreciated than we allow), they have contributed to our musics lyrical creativity (more like making it happen).
It's one thing to doodle and write with a regular pen, but what if you had a pen that actually had the razors edge of METAL?

Bicycle Harley-Davidson Playing Cards
Bikers. One of the 2 subcultures that contributed to our societies being (the other being hippies). How many Metal songs/albums/musicians/etc. are inspired (and even ridden) by the Iron Horse? Too many to count.
While there are many manufacturers of the creatures that dwell in the Steel Stables, only one has been synonymous with the aforementioned subculture that staked its claim in this planet called Earth. Harley-Davidson.
While the story of Harley-Davidson can be connected to Metalheads, another element of the bikers ancient past (aka cowboys) has been gaining popularity in the world of the Iron-clad warriors. Poker.
What is needed to play poker? Cards. And while playing cards are Metal on their own merit, every once in a while a deck of cards comes along that pushes it to Volume "11".

Beavis and Butt-head Cornholio Shirt
Beavis and Butt-head. The 2 wise men of Heavy Metal. While both are needed to make the magic known as "Mtv's only good offering", sometimes they needed to be split in order for each one to hold his own weight in the challenges they faced during their misadventures.
To pick which one was better suited to fly solo would be picking apples and oranges, but if one had to be chose, it would have to be Beavis. Beavis was the slightly dumber one of the two, but while his stupidity was a weakness, his luck and charm as the counterweight to the disadvantage.
It also helped Beavis when his "Mr. Hyde" surfaced (with the encouragement of sugar based food and beverages), hence adding a second man to his solo routine.
To honor his deep end alter-ego, Target offers the Corholio T-shirt.
