Sorry to say that i'm currently are quite attracted to the headbangers! lol.

Look at this video. it's one great lesson for those who wants to learn how to do headbang. One thing you have to know before you starts to headbang, it'll cause some health hazards toward your head, neck and brain possibility. One of evanescence and slipknot guitarist suffered a bad stiff and very bad sores when they are doing some headbanging.

For your information, headbanging is a type of dance where a person shakes their head violently with the music and most commonly are from the metal-group music.

Led Zeppellin was the first rock band to actually practicing headbanging around the rock concert.

Well, let me teach you the lesson if you would like to read this further.

5th skill: hammer

**continue on, some articles i get from the internet

Forget cigarettes, fried food and holding your breath too long – there's another indulgence that some doctors wish to quash. Rockers should cease their headbanging, Australian scientists have advised, or wear a less-than-rocking neck brace.

"We identified a definite risk of mild traumatic brain injury from headbanging," Dr Andrew McIntosh, of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), told the Australian newspaper. "We would suggest a proper public health warning, as for smoking." The results of his research were published in the Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal.

Researchers at UNSW's school of risk and safety sciences found that risk of neck and head injury was directly related to song tempo. The average heavy metal song, with a tempo of 146 bpm, is likely to cause mild injury if the head's range of motion is greater than 75 degrees. Songs like Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart – at 180 bpm – are among the most dangerous, leading to anything from mild headaches to mosh-induced strokes.

McIntosh and co-author Declan Patton advised that "Adult-oriented rock"(wtf) is much more safe, as it involves a slower rate of head-bopping. We are not quite sure what "adult-oriented rock" means, but we suspect the music is less cool than AC/DC.

The study's authors also observed the headbanging of cartoon characters Beavis and Butthead. Listening to the Ramones' I Wanna Be Sedated, Beavis kept his "angular head velocity" within safe limits, they wrote. Butthead did not. "It is well understood, however, that cartoon characters are able to tolerate greater than normal impacts without injury," the study drily noted.

Injury can also be avoided by the use of a neck brace. Or, McIntosh advised, "learn to ballroom dance. That's the takeaway message"

do you understand that, my dear?
