Headbanging and Hard Hits: Football's Love Affair With Heavy Metal

Metalheads have always been fans of American football, but who exactly are diehard metallers and which teams do they support?

Headbanging can be used as a form of expression; in some instances it could even be an indicator of autism - as an attempt at communication. They need help but cannot find it through traditional channels like speech.

In basketball or any other sport, there are defensive formations that are actually unique and different from each other, and they may have strengths and weaknesses of their own. For example, in man-to-man defence, one person is expected to trail and guard another individual baller. They are good against teams with a strong single-target player, but they do not have countermeasures for fastballs. On the other hand, zone defences will be concerned with how the particular sections of the playing floor will be handled. This method can disrupt shooting-oriented teams, but there may be a loophole for drives to the basket. The kind of defence that is used may be determined by the type of play of the counterpart team, just as in the case of football betting , where one has to choose between teams and strategies. 

1. Tomas Rosicky


Tomas Rosicky arrived at Arsenal as an established player from Borussia Dortmund with an outstanding reputation. Additionally, the Czech Republic international had played an instrumental part in helping his national team compete at the 2006 FIFA World Cup held in Germany.

However, that wasn't all he was remembered for; also known as 'The Little Mozart' he made waves in the Premier League by scoring some truly spectacular goals.

One of his best performances came against Liverpool at Anfield, when he thundered a shot into the top corner from almost 30 yards out to put Arsenal ahead.

Rosicky had long been headbanging; this impressive show wasn't her first. Headbanging, where fans bang their heads in unison with rock music, was popularised by Motorhead's Lemmy but may go further back. Spin reports that headbanging may even be associated with 600-year-old Islamic devotional Sufi music performed by dervishes. Hannover Medical School doctors recently reported a case of subdural haematoma following a Motorhead concert; these risks should not be taken lightly

2. Erik Rutan


Erik Rutan hums thoughtfully over the phone from his home in Florida. A busy individual, Erik serves as guitarist and vocalist of death metal band Hate Eternal; has spent three separate stints in Morbid Angel; runs Mana Recording Studios;

He's currently filling in for Cannibal Corpse as they take a break between their Decibel Tour and recording of Violence Unimagined; so his hands are full but he finds time for chats about football!

He believes the sport appeals to metalheads because it requires physical exertion and collaboration among musicians - qualities shared between music and athletics that often go together. If this topic interests you, be sure to read up! And catch Hate Eternal live this fall when they tour in support of their new album Upon Desolate Sands.

3. Doug Flutie


Doug Flutie is one of the best-known and beloved football players in American history due to his iconic "Hail Mary" pass against University of Miami in 1984. Initially in the USFL before returning to NFL play and finally moving onto Canadian Football League for eight seasons where he won three Grey Cup championships.

Flutie was widely recognized as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history during most of his 12-year career, including being selected to a Pro Bowl with Buffalo Bills in 1998, leading them to playoff contention and receiving Comeback Player of the Year honors from NFL Comeback Player Awards.

Now he is part of the band Free Reign with former Dallas Cowboy and Miami Dolphin linemen Cory Procter and Leonard Davis as well as other talented musicians - doing charity work in particular around autism awareness, an issue close to Flutie's heart.

4. John Elway


John Elway remains one of the NFL's most storied figures. As a player, he won two Super Bowl championships before serving as Denver's general manager and executive vice president of football operations.

He was honored with induction into the Broncos' Ring of Fame and his number 7 jersey was retired in 1999. Additionally, he managed a successful steakhouse business in Fort Collins.

Elway is an honest man, and I respect many of his views. However, his approach to running an organization differs significantly from mine. NFL consultant Chris Landry lambasted Elway earlier this month in an interview with Denver radio station 104.3 the FAN by labeling him an incompetent general manager - suggesting he throws money at rosters without creating champion teams.

The team that can shift between the strategies, like a bettor switch between the strategies on MelBet Pakistan based on the outcomes of the live games, is in a better position.
