34. It's Dio. Of course it's genius!
I don't know how he does it, but Dio is (at the same time) wonderful and awful. He is very light-hearted yet totally serious about metal simultaneously. It's fucking amazing.

13. I love the ren faire/S&M quality of this Krokus video:
What exactly is going on here? Okay, I get that this is all a dream, but why is he asleep above the diner? Is he a construction worker who fell asleep on the job while his coworkers were having breakfast? So confused.

17. That reminds me of SAXON.
"Power and the Glory." Another video in which you can't tell what's going on. They're invading a castle with dayglo suits and flamethrowers, they encounter a mannequin, and then all you see for the rest of the video is cobbled together live footage highlighting the singer's lack of genitalia.

22. Maybe he is, and Patton was merely doing an Andy Kaufman in reverse
Starting his career like an ass :rofl:

21. They just released an acoustic version of Balls to the Wall
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 09:40 PM by Strawman
"Even though the acoustic version of "Balls to the Wall" that appears on "Stripped" is credited to ACCEPT, it turns out that the legendary German heavy metal band never recorded an "unplugged" rendition of the track. Instead, it turns out that this particular recording was made by U.D.O., the German heavy metal group fronted by former ACCEPT singer Udo Dirkschneider.

Upon hearing the "Balls to the Wall" recording that came out earlier this week on the "Stripped" CD, Baltes said, "I checked out the 'acoustic' version of 'Balls'. This is about the biggest piece of garbage I have ever heard. I call this butchering a true piece of metal history to pieces just to be on a stupid compilation album that nobody will buy anyway. I guess, when you are desperate enough some do anything to make a buck."

20. "See You in Hell" by Grim Reaper has it all, if you ask me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc61Et1xiHc

The band has the looks of a well-fed Motorhead, that awesome Union Jack Gibson, and a singer who can shatter the eardrums of dogs for miles around. :thumbsup:

27. No Life Sex and Death videos on You Tube :(
Edited on Sun Apr-08-07 09:59 PM by Strawman
So this cover of "Fuckin Shitass" will have to do. I love the idea that someone would cover Fuckin Shitass by LSD.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DY1X2PrxSvw

Life Sex and Death is my favorite laughably awful metal band

#2 is Nitro: This is their song "Freight Train"

32. My nomination for best cover band.
You may have seen this before ,but there is a lot to love here; the keyboard sound, the singer sings the whole tune a minor third lower than the melody, the drum break going into the guitar solo, the guitar solo, the keyboard player apparently just standing there when he's not playing the bad synth part...

I mean, the original is hilarious enough, but this is downright frightening. :7

35. I needed that laugh.
I guess the virtue of being tone deaf is that you can't hear how bad you sound. OMG.
