okay, so lets collect my faves so far:

Out of the way! Metalhead journeying!

How do you say "Metal" in this country?

Black Metal Tourist:
Raping Nuns Around The World
Burning Churches Around The World
The Circus Comes To Your Town

and I still like "Metal Ambassador" :D

Umm, some others are good too, but actually I didn´t want to have only text but also some symbols / graphics, so I can´t put too much text on it...lets see what I can make out of it :)

and Zombi, as you are actually the only person who is allowed to post in here (interesting who is a native speaker in here, huh!? :D ), I have something for you regarding "How do you say "Metal" in this country?":
How people who listen to Heavy Metal is called?

Metallians, Headbangers, Metal People,etc.
In Albania they're called Metalist or Metalari
In Argentna Metalero
In Belgium hard-rockeurs, Metal Heads
In Brazil Metaleiros
In Canada dirties, Bangers
In Chile Metaleros, Metalicos, rockeros
In Finland Metallisti
In Greece Metallades or, in early '80s, Heavymetallades
In Hungary Metalosok pronounced "metaaloshock"
In Italy Metallari, Metalloni
In Nova Scotia, Canada Metallista
In Portugal Metalicos
In Puerto Rico Metallicos
In Romania Metalisti
In Russia Metalist
In Slovenia Metalci
In Spain Jevos,Heavies
In Sweden Hårdrockare (those who listen Hårdrock, the Swedish word for both heavy rock and Heavy Metal
In Ukraine Metalist
In USA Rockeros
In Yugoslavia (and also Croatia) Metalaci pronunced "metaalatzi"

probably using that also a good idea :)

That was French. (the bald)
In Belgium, also Hardrockers (Dutch) and the German variant. Belgium is trilingual. Nederlands, Français, Deutsch.

I like Zombi's "How do you say METAL in this country?" idea! How about a grid of country flags on the back with each of those language-specific names next to each one? Some sort of image or graphic to illustrate the point should be added...a hand giving the horns? (the international symbol of metal!)

"Journeying" is a rather awkward word. How about "Metalhead on the move"? It rings better in these ears.

"Metal Ambassador" makes the point but sounds stodgy. It's like, yeah, so what?

Maybe something with a little bit more attitude...

"DON'T LIKE METALHEADS?
Too bad we're all over the world!

And where in the US are we called "Rockeros"? Texas? lol...

I prefer METAL TRAVELLER as it has a direct relation to The Metal Travel Guide...

But if you were to use ... in the name of Metal, I think

TRAVELLING IN THE NAME OF METAL would read better

as for 1 or 2 L in traveller, depends on if you're writing UK, American or Australian English ;) According to my Australia (Macquarie Dictionary) Australia uses 2 (as would the English I assume) and it said 1 L is the US spelling

oh and regarding my long-overdue "brat's stamp of approval" Warthog gave me THE BEST idea.... he's pretty good on the ideas, this one...already stolen on of his and adapted it for my site :D

haha, that's interesting... I would've typed traveller, but webster.com thinks either is acceptable.

You're right though - something snappy that ties it all back to the Travel Guide would be ideal. Oh well, I'll sleep on it and report back in the morning, lol.

"bald," eh? English isn't one of the three, I see :)

I like it too - and I also wanted to add the horns / hand somewhere, but first I have to make that sign as a vector graphic and send it to spreadshirt, you know... what I did until now was just using their predefined graphics which are not soooo great ;)
Flags are also a good idea, anyway that shirt with the languages is not fully developed yet :cool:

okay... in my ears journeying does sound a bit strange too :D

Warthog schrieb:

also not bad - but would you buy a shirt which has the URL of a website on it? I was also thinking about it, but I don´t think anyone will buy it - do you?

Warthog schrieb:

LOL, yes, thats also rather funny... I´d say lets complete that list here (made a new thread for it) and I´ll send it to that guy who had it on his website (if I find it again...) :D
