Another metal job is a welder

[@AdamX21198]

Lol tru :c

[@andrastereminiec7599]

can you have long hair as a welder?

[@nikmorales8624]

Andrasté Reminiec couple of my buddies had to cut their hair when they became welders. Which is understandable. Fire hazard and such

[@andrastereminiec7599]

Nik Morales same thing with working a t a plastic factory....only it's worse... If you're asthmatic, the working conditions at this place possibly could kill you

[@heliosproductions3127]

Metal Job: A job that pays enough for band t-shirts and patches Example: Mc Donalds is a good way to get money for slayer albums and metallica t-shirts

I think any job is ok as long as they don't play pop music in the workplace XD

[@manofmuscle1475]

I was once having a week-long 'Introduction to the workplace' (I think that's how you'd translate it) in 8th grade and the place only played about a 10-track playlist of 80's pop. Nothing else. Thankfully I was only there for a week but I can only imagine what it's like for the long-time employees there, hearing the same few pop songs for years...

[@nefelisolia7376]

Well, It must be a hell-like place. At least it was 80's music and not new pop, each decade pop music seems to get even worse than the previous

I cant call myself a metalhead, even tho i spend a huge amount of time listen to metal bands (obviusly, it was the most popular metal bands arround the 80s and 90s). But one thing i always gonna love from metalheads is that until this day, they keep listening to ALUMBS, complete albums, not just a bunch of random songs of diferent albums, nowadays people usually get their iPods only with SONGS of various artist/albums. And IMO, the experience of listen an entire album its way too much better. My uncle (who is actually one of my metal mentors) has his iPod filled with ALBUMS and we used to spend ours listening and comenting about bands, years, guitarrist, etc. Good memories. And one of the things that i love the most on your vlogs is the album recomendations, i actually have been listening those albums. Sorry bad english, not my native language. Cheers!

[@andrastereminiec7599]

your english is fine.... there ar times when I get the language/spelling nazi party myself... but,I listen to Cds( no record player)

[@anarosareyes6269]

That depends on the álbum, some albums arent good enough lo listen very often but many of it's tracks are, ergo you end up mixing a list of songs

[@rayven6704]

Marco Muñante if you listen to metal as ur primary genre ur a metalhead,period.(metalcore is hardcore not metal)

[@buttholelicker1874]

Am I the only one who doesn’t enjoy listening to full albums? I don’t know I just get bored of similar sounding songs, so I enjoy listening to random songs by different bands EDIT. It’s been two months and thanks to Metallica’s early albums and Behemoth’s The Satanist and Firelink’s The Inveterate Fire I’ve finally gotten into listening to full albums

I look for a job I'd like doing because I don't want to waste my life

[@DelinquentDJ]

I work in the kitchen for this place called the Old Spaghetti Factory. The people who eat there are the family types who go to church on sundays, old people, and people who wanna go eat fancy but can't afford it. Doesn't sound very metal at all. But the thing is, in the back, you can bring your own speaker if you'd like and play your own music, and everyone in the kitchen listens to heavy metal.

[@jennygauge]

Totally get it. I've taken out piercings or covered my tattoos for the sake of getting through an interview before. Anyone with 'mods' or the likes thereof will understand the looks we get and the thoughts others have on us, especially when it comes to what potential bosses may think of us. It's bulshit but necessary if I want to maintain that proverbial 'phat cash' flow. Usually once I'm hired and prove myself to be a legit and hard worker, I can start showing my 'mods' and whatnot bit by bit and no one says a word.

[@jamesstonehouse3448]

I work as an analyst for a govt department. Long hair, goatee, casual Fridays I wear band shirts and black jeans. No problem

[@MichtyMaxx]

For the first professional job I got after Uni, I turned up for the interview in knee-high leather boots, a black leather skirt, black shirt and a long black trench coat. I got that job because of my personality and I knew how to talk the shit in that field. Since it wasn't a job where you need to deal with customers I got to wear band T-shirts and jeans everyday. I'm a girl so the hair wasn't an issue, but it wouldn't have been anyway. After working there for awhile other people with facial piercings and bright coloured whacky hair styles were hired as well, so that was cool too cause they also likes some similar bands and they were cool to look at. It's definitely easier to look metal/different the more qualifications the job requires, compared to retail positions and the like. Another little story... Out of all my metal friends that were trying to get a first job straight out of high school, only one cut his hair. The rest got jobs as waiters or in retail and it turned out the only job he could get with the big chop off was pushing trolleys (shopping carts) at the supermarket. For that job they really don't care what you look like, and most of the other employees in that particular position suffer from mental disabilities. I'm not using that as an insult, they literally have Down's syndrome and other mental difficulties. That certainly taught us all a lesson in being who you want to be. I do understand your general point though.

[@LaurenElizabethxxxx]

I completely understand where you're coming from. I work as a pharmacy technician at a hospital. When I went on my interview, I took out my nose rings and my 12 year piercings and wore my skirt suit. Once I got my tattoo on my arm, I have to keep it covered up. Even when I go to work, I don't wear nearly as much makeup as I do like on my days off and when I go to shows. I remember the first time I played my music when I was working, my coworkers just said, "You don't seem like the type of person who would listen to metal."

[@Prairie_Barbarian]

Great video, and great outlook. The best job out there for a metalhead is the one that pays the bills. If you support your own family, you understand this even more. I'm a lifelong metalhead, and long ago I've conceded the fact that most people just don't like metal or whatever comes with it. There's nothing wrong with that. There's plenty out there that we don't like. You're right to say that people will draw conclusions about you based on your appearance. EVERYONE DOES IT. It doesn't even have to be in a negative way; for example, if you see a man wearing the brown UPS uniform, it's safe to say he's an employee of UPS. This is one of the reasons why professional appearances are important. You, as an employee, represent the company you work for, not the other way around. Also as far as judging based on appearances, how many fellow metalheads in here scoffed at the sight of scene-kids or sagging pants? Don't lie lol. You can hold a job and hold your principles. Principles shouldn't be about your clothes, they should be about your ideas, morals, outlook, etc. Nobody can take that from you, no matter where you work. Hell, I served in the US Army for 5 years. The military is the one organization where appearance standards are probably higher than any other job out there, but if they can't take your personal morals from you, then Walmart sure as hell ain't gonna. You know what's metal? Doing whatever it takes to handle your shit. The world doesn't owe you anything, so if you want it, go get it. Sometimes you gotta do shit you don't like. Metal anthems are songs about strength and survival, not about how they got their asses kicked. That's for the mallcore crowd.

I have tats and i work with animals. veterinary, pet resort, animal grooming and animal shelters. I love animals so it fits for me. many of the girls and guys I work with have tats. piercing. guages, long hair, etc. it depends on the owner but most just don't. are as long you're not messy. don't look like a slob, don't where your jewelry and tie your hair back and up. dogs will pull and drag you by the hair. it happens, dogs think it's a rope. lol

[@agushex]

Well it all depends on the person, if your only passion is metal so you should find a find with almost no technical requirements, so as you said any job is ok, but I do think that there're out there some "normal" jobs that are more "Metalhead friendly", for example, I'm Tech Support and I only do support for the company personnel so I can wear any shirt I want (maybe no a Cannibal Corpse one but hey... there is no need to show butchery in a work place), and the most important thing is that almost any office/tech job there is people tend to be more open minded, a bit more intelligent so I find a LOT of people that are metalheads or metal sympathizers, and also I can work with headphones and listen to music all day, and that's important because, for example here in Argentina, some low-rated jobs like stocker, worker, jobs that you're out of public sight so they tend to listen to very loud awful music and even do some team-work, so you have to listen to awful music all day and you're unable to wear headphones so that are not very good jobs for metalheads I guess, so my recomendation, well, try to have hobby outside metal that can give you a nice and comfy position to be confortable and happy, because you're going to be a nice bounch of hours there and with that people. There is also some works that're definitelly "METAL JOBS" like in mayus and all... it is of course based on "Metalhead Stereotypes", for example... Blacksmith, Blacksmith is SUUUUPER Heavy Metal!! but you also need to have the passion to try this because there is not so many blacksmiths nowadays. Another good one in the same line but not so heavy is being a Carpenter, you "create stuff with your own hands" It's like the prime premise. Then there is the highly-qualify jobs the professional jobs, the ones where you need to end university with honours, and for me any kind of profession where you can work from home is good for a metalhead, for example, Civil engineer, Arquitect, etc, are good ones since you tend to work at home, metal music might even give you inspiration and there are a lot of metal songs to burst you head for works like that. Then if you dont need a lot of money to live you can be a leather artisan, one of my leather cuff are made by a metalhead that works 6 months in Argentina and 6 months in Spain so, he does what he wants, dress as he wants, and have enough to live and travel. The last posibility is if you have a lot of money to invest in something, well you can do whatever you fucking want but the point is to work in a project that is a bit heavy metal, like, for example, making a brewery.

[@molekyyli]

I feel that here where I live (Finland), it's becoming looser in many fields, I'm a female, so no trouble with hair length but I remember piercings, especially facial ones, being problematic; now it's much more accepted (sure there are still places when it's not accepted at all, though sometimes it's for a legit reason (f.e. being a cook you can't wear any jewelry because of hygiene and possibility ending in the customer's food) but not always) unless you look somehow really disturbing or so. My bf has long hair and is working at school (IT support, so no teacher or so) and no problems. If I were male, I would def have long hair and would have a really hard time to give it up. As a female, I've preferred long hair on guys since age 10, long before I even knew metal existed. :D And it's still the same, I found short hair unattractive on both males and females, with pretty rare exceptions to this (less than 5 % :D). And the longer the hair, the better. :D Shoulder length is too short. :D Just in general, I think it's stupid that "men should have short hair just because men are supposed to have short hair". I hope it changes and won't be seen as problematic, just like women can have short hair now while 150 years ago it was unacceptable.

My boyfriend is with an extremely long hair and goatee and I myself went through the entire rainbow of hair colours (normal and abnormal) and in neither of our workplaces it was ever a problem :) And funny enough, lots of metallheads go to the IT field :)

I’ve been watching your videos off and on for the past year. I love Metal, the music, and the incredible family and culture it encompasses. We truly are family. I Finally subscribed! 😂 As for Metal Jobs I like to think I have made a living in some pretty insane occupations. I was a Solider in America’s 1st Infantry Division and served in Units that stormed the beaches of Normandy in WWII and was a member of the prestigious unit that won many great battle of WWII. I went on to work on giant oil rigs in Wyoming and the Dakotas. Miserable hate work. Now I’m a weapons and artillery technician, something that would make Sabaton shit their pants. 😂 I rock Metal Merch from my favorite bands almost daily. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@xPumaFangx]

I had this issue as well when I was younger. I have found that factory work was my solution. I am glad to see that it is still a solution. Now I work in the art world. It does not matter how I look. Because I work for myself. My fans like what I make. Also the gallery does not see me every single day. But when I do go to see the gallery I do dress nicer than I normally do. One day I want to own my own business and when that happens I would always be willing to hire anyone that wears clean clothes. That does not smell bad. Not too sexy. And nothing that is unsafe or gets in the way of others. Like for example if you come to work and I can see your tits, or dick. That would be a no. If Joe the guy next to you has his jaw on the floor because you are wearing a tank top. Please do not do that. Another example before work you where unclogging a pipe. You then come to work smelling of a week old sewage. No go home take a shower and what is wrong with you. If you are wearing the same pants all week long. Trust me my nose will know it. I have a leather bag that is covered in saddle soap. It smells great. I have been asked not to bring it in. If I trip over your boss gothic evening gown. Please do not come in tomorrow or any other day wearing it. BUT WHAT I AM NOT SAYING IN THE ABOVE STATEMENT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT. FOR EXAMPLE. If you are wearing a tee shirt with your band name on it. Go for it. If your hair is long. I don't care. Mohawk, undercut hair. Why should that be a issue? Hair color is an odd shade of green? Ya so what if it is. If you are wearing shorts. That's fine. Wearing a ton of makeup. I do not care. If you carry a gun or a pocket knife. No problem. Well if the gun discharges in the studio we would have a problem. Barefoot, sandals, thats cool. But please stay away from high heels, or platforms because I might ask you to do labor. LAST THING. Please do not talk about politics or religion while on the job. It is a guaranteed way to piss at least one person off. CLOSING STATEMENT. You can enjoy many different things and life styles. Professionalism is meant for everyone. It is there so that two people of opposing backgrounds can work together.

This is very useful for me, since I'm a young metalhead that finds himself drifting inevitably into adulthood and truth be told, sooner or later I'll have to earn my bread with the sweat of my brow whether I like it or not. However, I already had an option lined up. Four letters. Y, M, C, A. Nah, I'm just messing with you. Those four letters are A, R, M, Y. Army. I intend to join the army as soon as I turn 18. I know it's gonna be the toughest experience of my life, but as I sometimes say, the hammer can shatter glass, but it can also forge steel.

[@JBguitar-cj8pc]

Blue collar/factory jobs are the best for metal heads. You can look however you want.

[@BjornV1994]

Anything that you don't have to come into with clients, is probably a good fit, as long as you respect the safety regulations (for example, in my job, I have to tie my hair for my own safety and personally I never questioned it as I deemed it common sense, considering my working environment). That said, there are also what I call "people"-jobs that are pretty chill about this. One of my closest friends liked to color her hair for example but works with people on a daily basis and she didn't know if that was allowed. She asked it first and her bosses said it wasn't an issue, no matter the color...

[@IRONMAIDENISTRASH]

I work as an automotive technician/mechanic, no one gives a f*** what I look like because they need skilled technicians to work on their cars, a lot of blue collar jobs need skilled labor so they don't mind how you look as long as you work hard and can do the job

In my humble opinion, your job hasn't got anything to do with your taste in music, unless of course, you're working in the music industry in some form or another. Rather, it's got to do with your personality and interests, just like anyone else, regardless of music taste. I went to a technical high school based around film & TV, so I personally have interest in that field. After I graduated HS, I started working seasonally at a grip & electric rental house (I had interned at two other similar rental houses while I was still in school, so I was actually recommended to the company). After that, I spent some time working at the HS, essentially worked with students on their shoots. I am now working at a large scale camera store, and in fact, one of my co workers, who sits right next to me, is also a metal head. As for appearance, it's going to depend on the company you're working for, though I've never actually cut my hair(more on that in a bit). What I have done for every job thus far, however, is tie my hair back, as it does get in the way quite a lot. At the rental houses, it was genuinely dangerous to leave it down, as it could get caught in equipment, though no one requested I tie it back, it was a choice. For the other two, well, just for the sake of convenience. As for clothes, well, once again, depends on the business. I had no issues with wearing band tees and whatnot at the rental houses(hell, they let me crank the stereo and play metal) or the HS. At the camera shop, I am required to wear plain clothing, and I respect that. If you don't think you can pull off long hair at work, tie it back, I've never had anyone say anything. The camera shop I work at is heavily Jewish, as seems to be the norm for the larger shops, such as B&H. No one has said a word about my hair, and I have come in with it not tied back before. To put this into perspective, they are incredibly strict in regards to everyone looking professional. For example, no shorts unless it's dead summer and you work in the shipping department, and even then, they cannot rise above the knee. The fact that they have yet to say anything should be a bit of an eye opener. As for the "professional look", I didn't have to change much. Black jeans, and blank T shirt. That satisfies them.

My job is being a blacksmith at a museum...most metal job ever!!

[@Synikoss]

I understand your points. But i lost my job few weeks ago. My hairs are soooo long, i won't cut them ^^ Thanks for the video mate.

[@loudenough9170]

I just love your awesome vids 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽👌👌👌👁

[@SynysterVlad]

I'm working at my school's library half time to get some extra money besides the parent's economic support and the scholarship and they didn't ask me for a haircut or a specific dressing code due to I'm a student and not an employee by the institution (the library was looking out for students interested in a half time job). So, if someone is at a situation similar to mine, you could try that.

[@marcdenning2476]

I turned down a job once because they wanted me to cut my hair and I was pretty desperate although not to a homeless level.

[@665demondog]

I really agree with you I think hair is a personal thing, it is something that goes everywhere with you so they shouldnt make you cut it I think it is unfair to guys how girls can have their hair as long as they want and guys have to cut it also I think it is stupid how they care more about appearance rather than skills, I would rather have a blue haired guy who is intelligent and who has the skills for the job rather than a dumbass dressing formal and who has no skills

[@andrastereminiec7599]

what if they have rules that are against having long hair?

[@hloyhesit8403]

Andrasté Reminiec then fuckem

[@andrastereminiec9631]

there are jobs where having long hair can be hazardous.. a factory job would be one

[@665demondog]

Andraste Reminiec yeah but you could at least have your hair shoulder length or put it in a ponytail

Im legit a tiny chinese girl and I like my natural hair colour. Different hair colour look meh on asians as well. I dont look the tiniest bit intimidating or anything so im very much fine. Problem is which death metal band would want me?

[@hauntedbarbiedoll]

I can vouch for working in record stores and tattoo shops as a job that doesnt mind how XxEdgyxX you look but they dont pay very well (unless youre the actual artist that is). i actually just got hired for a desk job by the government and so far im pleased that they dont seem to mind hair dyed unnatural colors or tattoos since my manager has a large tattoo on her wrist and they dodnt mind my hair having the ends dyed red (tho it is very faded atm and not so shocking yknow?). ALSO i recommend faux piercings, i have fake snakebites because i always anticipated them getting in the way of getting a real job, plus they look so real as heck so im not sacrificing the actual look of it :D.

[@RedMetalHead97]

I live in the bible belt in the usa, so metalheads are a rare sight. Which made it all the more awesome when my middle-aged, dad bod rockin, dad joke spitting work instructor turned out to be an incognito metalhead.

[@punkrocksurvivlist6475]

That Steve dude off blues clues..got rejected the frist interview so he got a hair cut and bought a botton up shirt and slack's Went in a few days later and got the part ..he was a skater type guy tho

[@DaskaiserreichNet78]

Work is slavery. Be true, runn in to a Forest with a axe and be a troll. Curse consumerism

[@fruitflyman8330]

I was wearing a Six Feet Under shirt when I went to drop off an application at an arcade. The manager was into death metal so he gave me the job on the spot

[@fuska213]

I work at a logistics warehouse and they let me use a black cap with some pins and my hair is mid length just growing it out but I comb it back and the manager didn't really say anything about it haha I guess I'm fortunate to work and have my cap on with mid length hair haha

[@stonegoblin7417]

listen to conclusion of an age by sylosis. Its a lot more technical than dormant heart. Ive seen them three times and the first time was just after conclusion of an age came out. Id never listened to them before and they blew my mind

[@luktra1]

lol in germany there is a law that's forbids to not give u the job because of your appearance or ethic and so on

[@19ten20]

I work in healthcare, there are lots of metalheads in the hospital setting. The rules of having our hair tied back, clean nails, and uniform (scubs) kind of unifies all the workers and there are several roles within the healthcare field. Personally, I am a respiratory therapist in the USA, so I work mainly intensive care and most of my patients are on vents (life support).

[@IpentagrammatonI]

I work as a butcher. Mad butcher. xD

[@MrMetallax]

Im a barber and it is great for being a metalhead, yeah i get all the comments all the time, but i get to wear what i want, have longer hair, and also get to leave early if i want to go to shows its oretty darn great lol

[@naturekev]

Thought I'd chime in here. If you live in the U.S. and are a metalhead looking for a job, especially if you have a trade skill such as mechanic, sheet metal worker, welder, etc, look into applying for any civiian federal government jobs in your area that are along those lines. I work in a machine shop, working on engine parts for fighter jets. As a civil service worker, the government doesn't care about the length of my hair (it's pretty long) as long as I can get the job done. I'm not IN the military, just working FOR the military, so no haircut regulations. We have lots of biker types working where I work, with long hair, long beards, etc. Some of them even wind up in management positions over time. One lady who used to work in my shop advanced to a very high management position in our facility, and when I saw her a couple of weeks ago, she had purple hair. We also have a guy in our building, an engine mechanic, I believe, who wears metal band shirts almost every day. No one says a word about it. Our command is even running an ad now looking for new employees, and in the ad, there is a huge bearded guy who could pass for a Viking, and a woman with tattoos standing in front of a fighter jet holding a wrench. Might be worth checking into. I'd recommend still dressing sort of "mainstream" for your initial interview, but once you start working, no one will care about your style of dress. As an added bonus, you can build up vacation days pretty quickly, which has allowed me to take time off to travel for gigs with bands I've been in, and to travel to concerts. The website to see what's available in your area is www.usajobs.gov.

[@gabev014]

I know that this comment was from a while back but I'm interested in learning more about your job. It seems like an awesome work place/environment.

[@Williameagleblanket]

I was in the U.S. military for over 25+ years 1986-2012. I seen metal concerts all over the world. Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, Mexico, Canada, all over the USA. I have even talked to band members of bands I like and told them I seen them in other cities and they are glad I showed up and support their bands.

[@DanteAlexander667]

I work in front of customers, as a type of cashier that handles cashing checks/sending money/paying bills. I am always wearing my two rings I choose and some leather wrist/arm bands, no spikes, along with my work's full dress code. My work has never given me crap either. Hell my bosses say they like my outfits when they see me off work and just the other day on Halloween when I did this full on gothic/metal attire. I've come to realize I do my job, and several others, well enough they don't care unless a customer actually complains; which has yet to happen with my 4 years working there. I guess they saw something in me, because I didn't realize my two days showing up was for two different interviews. On the second I was full on all out in goth attire and makeup, well needless to say I passed my drug test and got the job.

[@fairdinkumpiereviews5357]

Trucks. Tattoos. Laboratory studies. Burger king. Take your pick.

[@clownworldhereticmyron1018]

Tattooing is pretty tough to get into though, you need to do the whole apprenticeship deal which means working for free for possibly over a year /: I wanted to be a tattoo artist for a while but decided to stick with drawing on paper haha.

[@capitanpacha]

I'm a metalhead, and i work at a vet clinic specialized in cats. I feel so freaking lucky they don't care for my tattoos, long hair, black clothes... they want people that love their job and love animals. Besides cats are very metal ImI

It is so hard to come by jobs, I currently have been working for the place I'm at for 3 years... Currently job searching as a Metalhead and I did not miss job searching whatsoever 😦

I would NEVER cut my hair until it doesn't touch my ears any more. My hair just grows and grows and I love it! But if you felt better when you cut your hair, that's okay! PS: I love your videos.

Your face looks completely different with tied hairs! 0_0

[@deathailsatan]

Bike messenger or any kind of messaging jobs, for the most part, don't really care how you dress. Delivery, taxi driving, especially uber, moving jobs, stagehand, factory jobs. Most work requiring physical labor, don't give you hard time 'bout the way you dress, in my experience anyway. I held all kindsa' jobs, and I don't dress exactly "normal" either. Most Metal job I ever held was bike messenger. Lots of metalheads I know do that. Only problem with that job is the pay is total shit. You basically work on commission. But there are some excellent paying Stagehand jobs out there & if you could get on the union, your set for a decent size pension. Drug counseling could also make you a pretty penny.

[@adamcochran1309]

Used to tie steel. Its metal as fuck by default. We measured our jobs by tons we handled(by hand). MOST METAL, I would say Grave digger, Then coroner. Then Running a smelter or other heavy duty factory job. Then maybe, mad scientist. Like James Ketchum. Or Barbarian. But that got outsourced.

[@ashleywilcoxfotfmod]

I work for a brain injury rehab. They allow me to have my hair the way I want, wear my piercings, and show off my tattoos (so long as they aren’t offensive). I feel like a lot of health care professionals, social workers, and counselors are able to express themselves :)

I wish I saw this video a year or so ago. Got a really promising job interview, cut my long hair a little shorter, trimmed my beard down, really tidied myself up. Got the job 👍 But as soon as I started working I realise their was another metal head there, everyone else was pretty cool. I currently have hair that's just grown past my ass and a beard that's been grown out for just over a year.

Great video, currently looking for a job myself so very useful. Love the album recommendation too, been listening to it recently, love the song Leech.

[@kaelanmcalpine2011]

As for me, my high school doesn't allow tank tops unless under some exceptions. Wait, I don't like tank tops why did I bring that up? Serious Response: here's a good job for a metalhead, be a dubstep/drum n bass music producer. Just make sure you know how to sample something from a metal song, or remix or find something that sounds like a guitar and know how to use something like FL Studio or Garage Band and you should be fine. Just go ask people like Skrillex, Excision, Varien, Samplifire, Mantis, SKisM or xKore to figure out what to do there.

[@Blyatfaskik]

WHAT THE FUCK?? Where have you been? You can't just leave us that long without videos!!!!
