[RE: the "rock on" hand gesture]
It is a satanic gesture. It is as you describe it and the other fingers are folded inside. The meaning of this is the two fingers are the horns of a goat= satan and he has the other 3, representing the Father the Son and the Spirit, subdued.

I always feel a bit sick when I see someone making that sign. Someone may look nice or friendly but if you see that person making that sign you know where that person stands.

On the side...OF ROCK! \/
Shit, they're bitching about Deep Purple. Well, all clasically trained organists worship the devil.
Yes, if the proper way was to do it with the fingers pointing up, he might have a point.
However, as most people, including most metalheads fail to realize, the PROPER way to do metal horns is to have the fingers point TO THE SIDE.
Evidence of such, the first ever depiction of the metal horns...

Isn't that the "hook 'em horns" symbol you see at Texas football games?
I remember the same symbol from my early days at a Chrysler factory, only the hand was held backwards and raised high.
Meaning? That was a press operator ordering four beers.

Ok., I need HELP, I just showed this sign to my son and asked him if he knows what it stands for, and he said "Yeah, it's the sign of Satan."
And so I asked how he knows this (he's 20 yrs.old) and he said from when he used to listen to Slip Knot.
He said he doesn't listen to them anymore and that in fact today when he took the Lords' name in vain, he immediately said a prayer asking for forgiveness.
I'm asking for everyone's prayers for my son Luke, that he gets drawn in nearer to the Lord and further away from all of this evil crap. Please pray.
I'm going to put in a prayer request in that thread as well. Thanks All!
<i>The guy who (supposedly) started it copied it from his grandmother. </i>
That would by Ronnie James Dio, who says he adopted the symbol mainly to distinguish himself from Ozzie.
This reminds me of a bit from "Don't Blame Me", a documentary about Ozzy Osbourne. It was made around the time of the Suicide Solution lawsuits, and there's this Jack Thompson-esque prick on there talking about how he went to a concert and saw everybody making 'Satanic Hand Gestures' and chanting his name and so on and so forth... And was using this as evidence that Ozzy is evil and makes people kill themselves.
Everyone knows that God created Satan!
Fact.
God is omniscient.
Fact.
Therefore God knew, before he created Satan exactly what he was doing.
Fact.
Therefore, God created evil.
Fact.
Therefore God is the Father of Evil.
Fact.
I remember seeing Italian Americans making this sign long before heavy metal as a kind of curse, and also held behind a guy's head, as an insult meaning "his wife/girlfriend cheats on him". I suspect it has a bunch of different meanings (maybe Satan, too) going back centuries.
You know they're throwing that specific sign to mess with you, right? They know what you think it means, and they don't particularly like people like you. So therefore...
Now I personally prefer the sign of the diamond, aka the "safety" call in football. It isn't the universal sign for "you suck", but it should be.

Yeah, they're standing at a rock concert.
Makes you sick, eh?

'The Horns' is an old hand sign used primarily by older superstitious europeans, mostly in Italy, to both cast, and protect themselves from, the evil eye.
The origin of the gesture is in eastern europe, where it was said to ward away the "evil eye". People believed it was actually a holy ward -against- evil. A former guitarist for Black Sabbath cited that very thing, speaking of being one of the first to use the gesture on stage, and associate it with metal music. A digital proclamation of "get thee behind me, satan."
