“Ride the Tiger. You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean. Oh don’t you see what I mean.” How much more metal can you get? You can’t tell me that if you saw someone riding a Tiger that they are not Metal. Like this guy in the picture below. You know in his head he is yelling MEEEETAL!!!!

You’re thinking, ”hey wait that’s a lion stupid, not a tiger. Pshhh this guy doesn’t even know his animals… A lion doesn’t even have stripes unless it’s a Liger.”Well I couldn’t find any metal pictures of a guy riding a Tiger; apparently, Lions are in, Tigers are out. But don’t worry we all know how trends work and Tigers will be back before you know it. I could have posted this picture but I don’t think it’s as metal… 
However, if your grandma rides tigers and listens to Dio, she is metal.
All I’m saying is that Dio knew what was up and that riding Tigers or Lions is pretty metal especially if you had some sweet armor like this.
I’m also pretty sure that in this picture of Behemoth that they know about riding Lions, Tigers and Bears Oh My in sweet looking armor. After all, this is not park strolling armor.
Riding horses is not as metal unless you are a Lion riding a horse.
Pretty metal right?! Plus, why would you want to ride a horse when you can ride something that can also help you fight in the battles for Avalon!
A-Dogg out!

Can we include fictional creatures? For the sake of an awesome music video, I say we ride Gryphons or maybe the raincore from Return of the Jedi
those are really good points RIDE THE TIGER (OR LION)
