1. Confusion.
Growing up, during high school I knew guys who were heavy metal, and guys who were punk. As always happens, occasionally records would be traded. I would lend records of the Stooges, Velvet Underground, would tell the guys to check out Motörhead . Invariably the guys would return the records, disappointed at the absence of heaviness. Ok, maybe the Velvet Underground. This put me out of the ring of the cool guys. At the same time I'd listen to their Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ted Nugent (it was Michigan after all) or Cramps records and think, "What is so heavy and threatening about this?" I still don't know. And I still don't know how anybody can claim Judas Priest, Motley Crue, Ted Nugent or the Cramps heavier than the Stooges or Motörhead.

2. Inadequacy
With Lemmy alive, I'll forever be reminded how incapable of growing facial hair, let alone cool facial hair, I am.
