    Oh, THAT kind of metal. I have seen s number of references and didn’t get it as surely the actual periodic table is pretty much a periodic table of metal.

  2. a periodic table of metal —> the “actual” periodic table
    THE PERIODIC TABLE OF METAL —> THE PERIODIC TABLE OF METAL

    “Oh, THAT kind of metal” !!!!

    I can assure you that “simonlegend” is my alter-ego. I acquired this awesome piece of internet frippery from an acquaintance on Facebook. I do not own the rights… & etc.

    The real periodic table is metals on the left, non-metals on the right and transition elements in between like some kind of chemical apartheid (which would itself be a good metal band-name…)

    While we’re on matter metallic, what’s the deal with Cannibal Corpse – are they taking the piss or are they really into that shit? I picked up one of their tour DVDs our of morbid curiosity once: it had all the gory mutillated corpses on the cover, but a photo of four fairly standard rock dudes (one of them sporting a Black Flag T-shirt) in the gatefold, so wha’gwan?

    Not metal but starts with Led Zeppelin…, Steven Hyden’s seven part series, The Winners’ History of Rock and Roll. Highly recommended. (If Hyden’s name looks familiar to you, you may have come across his more narrowly focused but equally genial 10 part series, ‘Whatever happened to Alternative Nation?’ for the Onion’s AVClub back in 2010.)
