mledbetter Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 It's pretty steeped in german SS stuff.. swastikas, the whole 9 yards.. That's a pretty risky road of symbolism to go down.. If I understand my history correctly, the death head and the symbols were all part of the spiritual/mystical side of the nazi movement. If I'm wrong i'm sure someone will correct me.. But regardless.. you could probably come up with something equally "evil" sounding without giving homage to one of the most "evil" movements our civilization has ever seen.. But that's just me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just me Yes This Is realy Buging Me as well but TOTENKOPF does Have other uses Basically Death's head, It was used by a division in Prussian army during Frederik the Great. I think it is also used by a Swedish division at some point And look at the IRON cross it to was used By the nazi movement but now it's used all over the place just look at JESSE JAMES and his West Coast Chopper's http://www.westcoastchoppers.com/store/ So Im not sure What I should Do !!METAL MATT!!

mledbetter Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Right.. well forms of the cross have existed all over the place, long before hitler ever had the bright idea to bastardize it And honestly, the cross in various forms existed outside the christian movement.. It's not a hard symbol to come up with and i'm sure there were many parallel developments of it for use in some form or fashion. I don't know what others first impression of the totenkopf would be.. would just hate to see you work hard on something then get irritated cause people start assuming it's associated with nazi crap... like I just did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orgmorg Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 How 'bout " The Violator "? I was wondering about the deadhead thing. It seemed odd- you don't strike me as being the crunchy hippie type. Does this guitar come with a first aid kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8rofwyo Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Maybe "Aversion" (It's synonimus with horror - for those of you out there who need to look stuff like this up... just like me) I figured that is kinda in keeping with your theme anyway. Well, whatever you name it it looks good. Can't wait to see those laminates come together. Nate Robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guy's think !!METAL MATT!! YES! That was my idea Anyways, i think it would be cool if you did like a dungeon guy/exectuioners mask as the headstock inlay, sorta like this... http://www.crimelibrary.com/graphics/photo...er-with-axe.jpg just my opinion, good luck Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!!METAL MATT!! Posted May 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Wait what about this (THE GUILLOTINE!!) and I could Have a guillotine on the head stock Now I need some Inlay Idea's maybe a falling blade? !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Great stuff matt. For names I was thinking something like Metal Mayhem, Wicked Metal, Wicked Warrior or any combo of them. I know one word name are more dramatic though. Also with the cutout in the bottom, the part people were childishly calling ballsacs, with the point it comes to you could consider it a W or M instead a V. W would be very cool. You could call it a Wicked W instead of flying V, start a whole new idea. And on the inlay, maybe at the 12th fret have a pair of interlocking W's. WW like that but slightly overlapping. Any conbo of W or M could work, WM,MW,MM. Anyway keep doing what you do best it's very inspirational. Good Luck and keep the updates coming, its great seeing the progress first hand. Just noticed you could use your screen name like Matt's Metal. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_the_damned Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 is it all the dribbling glue that makes it so sexy Matt??
