    1.) Hang loose

    2.) Rock On! (commonly refered to as devil horns)

    at a show with witness rock bands (they actually played non witness music, like chevelle, creed, lynard skynard, three days grace, ect et) every witness who was there would throw up that when they finished the set.

    The first is called the "shaka" sign. The earliest instance of the word "shaka" was recorded in 1928 and was originally a slang word in Hawaii meaning "cool, awesome, rad" etc. The hand gesture was popularized in the 1950s by radio personality Lippy Espinda, which happened at the same time the slang word "shaka" experienced a resurgence. Legend has it that it invented by a Chinese sugar mill laborer in one of the plantations. He had a horrible accident in the machine that crushes the cane stalks and he lost three of his fingers on his left hand (leaving only his pinkie and his thumb). But he had a wonderful, warm-hearted personality, and he loved to wave to people he met, shaking his hand that lacked three of his fingers. And, as the legend goes, that's where the "Hang Loose" shaka sign came from.

    oh heck no Nos that sign is with your fore finger and your pinky only.

    that's also something I've seen my Sicilian friends do when they want to cast the "evil eye" on someone.

    I think the second one is just somebody that doesn't know how to make the rockandroll sign . There are different forms of that . The texas long horns use a variation during football games but if you fold the thumb into a fist it is believed by many to make a 666 pattern . The first one I believe is used by surfers to mean hang ten when they shake the hand .
