Metal community, all subgenres welcome.
It only seemed fitting to have Lemmy himself as the icon.

You need to take care of you, try to make sure it's official merch if you care about the band though.
Personally I also don't mind supporting the venue if we're talking about independent locations and not stadiums. I want them to have enough staff for drinks, security and hygiene so that they can stay in business. Metal is a niche to begin with so supporting your local venues is part of supporting the scene, for me. I recognise it's easy to say for me since I can do so without any financial pain, but I really feel it's important to keep that perspective in mind as well.
