It's "devil horns", but now it's more of a way of saying "that's so stinkin' awesome dude, rock on".

thats a myth. the first artist who was known for doing that was Dio. and he explained that it was something that his mom used to do when he was growing up. he explained it like this (and this is as best i remember it)...if you turn your hand around so your folded fingers are pointing towards you and you hold you hand up in front of your face with your two extended fingers in front of your eyes...thats what his mom would do when she was upset with him. sort of like saying "im watching you" or giving you the "evil stare". and he said that doing it the other way around was just understood to be the opposite. like protection from the "evil stare". haha im serious. that was his explanation when quetioned about whether or not it had demonic meaning.
but whatever. i have always understood it to be just the international symbol for "ROCK". and if you go to google and do an image search for "Rock on" you get tons of pics of people holding up their hand that way. i really dont think there is any evil significance behind it.

There are a lot of people who claim to have invented the devil horns/rock on. Gene Simmons also says he was the one who started the trend. Chances are all these people were doing it at the same time thinking they invented it.

american sign language: thumb, index(pointer) and pinky=I LOVE YOU! i prefer that at a show rather than the devil horns-its my own thing-apersonal conviction not to down anyone else.
