When you mention the term “metalhead,” many people think of intimidating leather-clad folks who worship satan, sacrifice lambs, and leave angry comments on articles we post. But the metal community is damn funny, and they show off their talent and killer sense of humor with some truly hysterical YouTube videos. Read on for some head-banging hilarity.
1. Vegan Black Metal Chef: Cooks like Bourdain, sounds like Born of Osiris.
2. John Petrucci’s Psycho Guitar Exercises: An oldie but goldie, whoever dubbed over these guitar lesson VHS tapes is a comedy genius.
3. Rob Fusco: Hardcore Attorney at Law: Have you been wrongfully accused of breaking edge? Then you need to call hardcore attorney/Most Precious Blood singer Rob Fusco for representation!
4. If Deathcore Sounded Happy: Haven’t you always wondered what would happen if you mixed Prozac and All Shall Perish?
5. Metal Spoken Word: Big C recites heavy metal lyrics in spoken word poetry style. Think Masterpiece Theater, but with more Satan references.
6. Metal Grasshopper: Guitar god Philip H. Anselmo schools comedian Dave Hill “like a motherf-cker” in the ways of metalhead-dom. The result is the creation of the duo, Metal Grasshopper.
7. Black Metal Babysitting: Yu might not find these babysitters at Care.com, but you best believe they know their arts and crafts.
8. 26 Metal Genres In One Song: Have a hard time telling your Grindcore from your Hardcore? This vid will help you out.
9. The Peanuts Gang Sing Led Zeppelin’s “In The Light”: We always knew Schroeder could break it down. (Something tells me there was a copy-right infringement here – a sign pops up that says, “This video does not exist.” DARN!)
10. Heavy Metal Construction: And the award for Excellence In Headbanging goes to…this dude.
Honorable Mention:
Time To Dye Metal Easter Eggs: Kind of a one-note joke, but we dare you not to laugh when the blood shoots out the bunny’s eyes.
Metal Penguin: If you don’t smile, you have no soul. (Talk about HAPPY Feet!)
