I think Gene has lost his fucking mind. He can file for whatever he wants, but he isn't getting it.

Gene obviously didn't "invent" the horns. But he is a business man first, and saw an opportunity to make some more $$.

He's also a HUGE Beatles and British rock fan. Not surprisingly, I wouldn't doubt that he lifted the horns from the Beatles.

1969 ... release of Yellow Submarine movie and album.

No kidding... thumbs OUT??? That's completely gay. I'd rather stand around using the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign at a metal show than thumbs-out.

Hmmm. I should patent "The Shocker". I've been laying two in the pink one in the stink since 1987 and pretty sure it's my invention.

Jinx Dawson says she was first. Silly as fuck argument.

Well, there are pics of her with her band Coven in the late 60s with her doing it. She was heavy metal before Black Sabbath was. Where do you think Black Sabbath got their name? Tommy Iommi denies it, but Coven's album "Black Sabbath" was recorded 67-68 and released late 68-early 69. They'd been playing clubs fleshing out songs for years before that. There are also two tracks on Black Sabbath's first album that was recorded in 1969 that shares the same title as two from the Coven " Black Sabbath" album.

Right, every Italian grandma for the last 500 years has been making the "sign of the horns". I remember seeing old Catholic women make that sign 50 years ago.

This.

It means "ward evil."

His grandma used to make the gesture to him before he left the house.  It was a mark of protection, like a blessing.

One of the documentary about him, he relates that story.
