Wild Musical Silliness

Ok, I am just rocking too hard over here to be doing it alone. Recently I was introduced to several metal/industrial bands, and all are just ridiculous and should be watched/heard to appreciate the silly goodness. To avoid computer crashes, I think I will just post YouTube links here rather than posting live vids. You will thank me when your computer doesn't freeze up. Yes, you will.

Hanzel Und Gretyl, "Fikk Dich Mit Fire" - I adore this band! They are über weirdos from NY who sing in German, and other languages too from what I read. The lead "Vas Kallas" is very pretty with that fuscia hair, but I have to admit I thought that SHE was a guy until moments ago. Hey man, there is no shortage of pretty made-up fellas in Japanese glam-goth, and lots of guys in rock wear skirts and pigtails these days, so I try not to assume good-looking singers are chicks. I only realized he was a she when I saw the photo to the left there. Breasts are a fair indication of femininity...well...they HAVE been anyway. Apparently Betty Kallas was known as "Venus Penis Crusher" in a metal band called, "Cycle Sluts from Hell" (don't bother looking them up...they sucked). My other favorite Hanzel Und Gretyl song/video is "Disko Fire Scheiss Messiah"

RAMMSTEIN, "Ich Tu Dir Weh" You just wish light came out of YOUR mouth when you sang.

Rammstein "Benzin" - One of my favorite songs. I like just about every song they have recorded tho.

Deathstars, "Cyanide" Massively nostalgic Swedish band for 80's industrial music lovers. They are just pretty damn humorous if you ask me. I dig em.

Deathstars, "Synthetic Generation" - Not as interesting to me, but I just gotta ask, "where is this band getting the cash for such a video?" They must be popular in Europe.

Dimmu Borgir, "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse"-- Oh my...angry dark Norwegians. Not my taste, but I just thought I had to share this. They are too serious looking not to laugh at.

Samael, "Telepath" - Archangel does industrial rap? This time the band is Swiss. My god Europeans are wacked out.

Combichrist "Happy Fucking Birthday" - My fave of Combichrist songs. The band is sadly repetitive in general, but I can see such potential...they need a better music director.

Marilyn Manson "Nobodies" - Perhaps the "Prettiest" of Manson's videos. Love it. "Disposable Teens" is another of the Manson songs I like a lot, and this is a pretty well done vid. "Astonishing Panorama of the End Times" is the one claymation video that makes me think, "Yes, Manson himself is likely made of clay."

Tool "Parabola" - This tune is far more chill than the others, but the video is wonderful. Visually the video is rather dark, but the message is positive -- albeit new-age spiritual. It is pretty much the same spiritual message I got in my old kungfu class. Merkaba...violet flame...3rd eye awakening...all that.

Eluveitie is a Swedish FOLK metal band. They sing in Swedish, and play a mix of traditional instruments and electric guitars, sometimes they sing, sometimes shout. Thousandfold is one of the screamy ones, Omnos is one of the ones where the pretty girl SINGER takes over.

...ok, I am finished.
