Ok, I know I've been slacking off on updates and contributions here, so here you go, my personal thoughts on todays Headbangers Ball.

First of all, we all know MTV sucks, and they barely show anything good anymore. How much fucking reality shows about celebrities can one take?
But, im sitting here, on a Monday night with a beer, and a computer so why the fuck not? So
with no further bullshit, here we go:

First video up, is Entombed - say it in slugs.
Its in b&w, and show clips from an outdoor arenashow.
but then in the middle cut into an all red color-theme. lame video.
the singer drinks a beer, and so am i.

Next video is Hatebreed, with the song where they are all in a mosh, gives it an extra point, but the song isnt cool, so thats a minus. gues our hatefilled friends are back to square one.

Ahh nuts, Cradle of Filth.
I fucking hate this band, they make a mockery out of black metal, if thats even possible, and Danni is a puss with a horrible voice. the video is the typical freak-show theme they always have, but theres some blood here, thats cool.
WOW! a naked chick, suddenly this video is way cooler.
2 other chicks looks like they are about to preform a exorcism on the naked chick. and then the cops find the naked chick dead on the floor, gues the exorcism was more than she could handle.

Anthrax is up next, "You have always been my safe home". pretty cool song, with an ok video, show the band on tour, being homesick, or some shit like that.
People are holding up signs saying the title of the song. and some dude is walking at the side of a road, probably going home to read the shit on Metal-Blast.
Scott Ian is still bald, and people are moshing, typical Anthrax video.
John is fucking awsome, why cant they bring him back, and go back to being a cool band?
Now the guy is running, maybe he ate some bad crawfish?
Theres plenty of cars passing him by, why dont he just hitch-hike with someone?


and now they cut to commercial, gues we have alot of them tonight.god damnit, every comercial is about cellphone shit, new ringtones, change company, or get some pictures for only 2$ a week, who the fuck pays for that?

When they come back they show Soundgarden, with Rusty cage.
I dont think ive seen this video since it came out.
some guy is running throug the woods, and theres plenty of
leaves on the ground, and the camera is spinning around making me dizzy.
Chris Cornell sound like Zakk Wylde.
and now some farmer got pissed at the guy running around in his wood, so he comes with a shovel. and then a car drives through a house.

In flames is up, and the singer is behind bars or something, fuck if i know. this angry dog is barking at the camera, and then A-Team comes to the rescue, we don't see BA, but we know he's there to save the day.
some hot chicks are washing a car, old cliche, but its still cool.

They now show a couple of videos of bands ive never heard about, and they dont rock, you cant headbang to this shit. its the usual crap they show during daytime, and they manage to slip it in here, so if someone just turned on MTV, they dont go running away since its not rap, r&b, or celebrity shows on.
if they dont show anything cool soon, im gonna be one pissed off bastard tonight.

Now its Nightwish's turn.
I cant believe these guys are even given a record deal, last week, they had all kinds of cool videos, the hour was gone in 5 minutes, but tonight, all ive seen are the usual 14 year olds favorite bands.
If i had posted last week, it would have been different. The singer of Nightwish isnt even that hot, dont see what people are talking about.
and now its more commercial, and you guesed right, its all about cellphones, and ringtones, who in their right minds want a ringtone of a zombie who farts? No, not Rob Zombie, but a real zombie.

Oh yeah!!! Its Pantera!!!!!
Mouth of war! They rock out hard, and i mean hard, its in B&W, and the word "revenge" is flashing at the screen.
Phil seems pissed, what now Phil? how about a smile?
during Dimes solo, they show the fretboard as he shredds away, fucking insanely cool.
Now its in color, and they show a whole bunch of people in a moshpit, words are flashing, and people are jumping around.

Venom is next, "The evil one".
total chaos, people are lighting shit on fire, and it seems like its an outdoor festival, thousands of people, no matter how cool venom is, we know they dont sell out whole arenas. Someone waves a british flag, and Cronos is giving them a grin.
Now someone starts trashing the stage, the drumset is demolished, but in the next shot, its whole again.

Mötorhead! eat the rich.
Its from back in the day with Philthy, and Lemmy is wearing some badass sunglasses.
Eddies guitarsolo, is one of his best. but this video wasnt that cool, but any Lemmy, is still Lemmy, and Lemmy is god!
They show some girl in a swing, but she looks like a horse, so the band covers her in cream.

Commercial break, time for a beer fetch.

Apparently that was it, now they show a r&b video for once.
gues after the long wait for my post, you fel kinda cheated, well, i feel too.
lets try this next week, and see what happens.
Im out like the integrity of Headbangers Ball.
