Admit it, we've all done some pretty nerdy things in the name of rock and metal fandom. Our love of heavy music has probably led us down a few paths that if we were to take a step back might be considered .... gasp .... nerdy.

Below we've listed eight items that seem to fit the bill. Keep a check for each one you've done to see just how much of a rock and/or metal nerd you actually may be.
