Draft:Metalbilly

Metalbilly is a subculture that mixes metal music and western outlaw fashion. It was created by myself Gary ZZ Topol Benjamin. It’s influenced by ZZ Top the rock and Daisy Duke denim shorts worn by the character in the Dukes of Hazard.

Many metal musicians have worn cowboy rock fashion including Lemmy from Motörhead, Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy and Jon Bon Jovi from Bon Jovi.

Over the years there have been many music subcultures: rockabilly, teddy boy, mods, rockers, hippies, goth, Psychobilly, punk, metal, ska and more.

Metal Armageddon in Southend will be the first Metalbilly gig that has been noted.
