That would be awesome if there was a real Metal Council

That sign has been used long before 'metal' emerged as a distinctive genre.

So? It's synonymous for metal.

No fucking shit. Dio got it from his Italian born grandma. The sign is used for casting hexes, or something like that.

I'm so glad I can have you around to spout off useless information that anyone can find with too much free time and a google search.

Wards off the evil eye, according to superstition.

Now, thank me for spouting off useless information that anyone can find with too much free time and a google search. :(

That was one of the most badass things ever, though I'm surprised they didn't mention Dio

Shin-Ra got that right. Ozzy used to do the "peace" sign, and Dio certainly wasn't going to do it too, what with the feud between them and everything. It was something unique that he had, but obviously it's gone downhill now.

Now it just seems really stupid and vulgar. People at my school do it to me (since apparently I listen to "HARD ROCK", isn't that scary), and I just nod my head and wave them away. :(
