Hail Satan and welcome to the short stuff.
I'm Josh and there's Chuck and this is our mid-metal two-parter short stuff that's more metal adjacent than you can possibly imagine.
We're talking about the origin of the devil horn's hand sign.
That is as metal as metal gets as far as hand signs go.
Yeah.
I've never had an opportunity to flash this, so I've never really done it.
And I feel like a bit of a nerd, but I'm practicing because of that Judas Priest show.
Yeah.
I figure that'll be a great time to whip it out for the first time.
For sure.
So where did this come from, Chuck?
Well, I mean, let's talk a little bit about what it actually is,
because there's a bit of irony attached to this,
because when you're at a metal show doing this, you are, you know,
what you're really doing is just a fun thing where you're like, this band rocks.
And this is the appropriate sign that you do at a show like this to indicate that I think this rocks.
But sort of the kind of funny subtext is like, yeah, Satan's horns.
