Simply because when you isolate and crossbreed the right strains of it you come up with a riotously smart/dumb, essentially teenage concoction that is violent and funny. You can’t do that with Balinese nose flute ensembles. True story.
I won’t repost the Red Fang vidz here, I have bothered you with them enough – although they do make a cameo in one of my all-time favourites right here. 1,455,683 views? that’s mostly me. I love Iron Reagan unreservedly and not just for all the Municipal Waste links – the drumming at 1:27 is worth the price of admission alone:
Oh, did someone mention Municipal Waste? This is an absolute belter from Slime and Punishment:
Genius from Obituary here featuring a wealth of movie cameos – oh and Lemmy as God:
… Which is even better because it is the sequel for this one:
Sorry, I’ll stop now, apologies for dragging you down the same YouTube wormhole that has been, very enjoyably, taking all my time away tonight.
Metal!!
808 Down(still).
Wee bit too much for me, but I did enjoy the Obituary tracks… mostly cause the videos were great.
And you call yourself a screaming thrash metal maniac?! Pathetic!
Crossed wires, sorry – I call myself a screaming AT thrash metal maniac.
Le regole del Lemmy
You foreign?
That was Metalese
That’s just off the coast of Spain. right?
Yes. When spoken there is a lot of shrieking.
Kind of like a Metalese Falcon.
Great movie!
I wanted to see Iron Reagan in Toronto but they were there on the same night as Dinosaur Jr.
Damn you concert promoters.
It’s just the name – even if they were a totally silent band they’d still be a favourite.
There was a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo jibberish where the Youtube videos were supposed to be.
I thought I was reading my own blog for a minute.
Thrash metal gremlins?
The worst kind.
Haha!
Agreed – that clip is very funny. Love the restorative powers of beer and the Mad Max reference.
You see? we’ll make a metal moshing metal maniac metaller out of you yet Bruce.
Moshing as I type, mate!
(And if you hadn’t guessed, it was the ‘Lemmy as God’ line that got me to press play’)
You’re proper metal! I can think of no higher compliment.
Man I am totally on the same train as you right now. Give ‘er! \m/ \m/
Woo – woo!
Choo-choo, mofo! Rarrrgh! \m/
Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask if you’ve ever heard Red Fang. If not, you might dig ’em. Some guy in Wales has been talking about ’em a lot the last couple years.
Careful, those Welsh guys can’t listen for shit.
I think that’s just a vicious rumor…or so I’m told by some Welsh fella.
You’ve been down a metal wormhole all night and Aaron was recently lost to a Pink Floyd fog… should we be alarmed?
Jeepers! The finest minds of our generation are in peril!
We’ll dispatch emergency services!
The 2nd and 3rd clips appear as code only for me. I’m using the phone app. Perhaps the apps are also isolated and cross-bred….
Probably so. It looks fine on a desktop- everyone should be using one of those!
PS – they went wonky for me too then. Should be fixed now for you to enjoy them in a sedate ladylike fashion.
Thank you! That is my preferred state for heavy metal enjoyment.
Heavy Metal! Rock and Roll! Thrash to death! and all other related comments.
Hurrah! What he said!
