I know, last week was weak, I mean horrible but what can you expect from MTV anyway?
Well, let’s try again, and see how this weeks Headbangers Ball turns out, maybe this time we get some serious whiplash-thrashing heavy fuckin’ metal.
Before we start, I have to tell you, if I had a companion, like Butthead had or even better, a joint, this might have turned out better, but since you’re all shit out of luck, this is all you get.

Iron Maiden the trooper is the opener. Live from somewhere over the last tour.
They sound great, and it’s a real live recording, I’ve seen these guys live many times, and they always deliver, no lip-synching shit here.
Eddie is in the background, or his picture is, Eddie rules, and Bruce is waving the British flag, even though their probably not in Britain.
Why the fuck is Janick still in the band? Is his guitar even plugged in, or is he just their posterboy?
There were no egg-throwing so the band didn’t have to shower after the show.

Queens of the stoned age is up, the song is making me stoned, didn’t even notice what the name of it was, it’s THAT boring.
Every member of the band is spotted in their own colour. Crappy video.
And they repeat the words “my favourite song” 2345 times over and over, so I guess that’s the name of the song.

Danzig- wicked pussycat.
Danzig is a pussy, so it might be a biographical song.
A chick is drinking milk like a cat, and is wearing a s&m outfit, and her mistress is dangling a pentagram necklace, so that makes the video cooler.
But why is he trying to rap? Seriously it sound like Danzig is rapping.
More chicks with other chicks in a leash that’s cool. And their dressed in minimal clothes.
Danzig couldn’t scare my grandmother. He is THAT evil.

Slipknot, some guy was dragging a corpse through the woods, and a axe was plunged into a tree, guess he had enough of his girlfriend’s ranting.
Now its al kinds of sick twisted stuff theire infamous for, worms crawling around a pigs head, and the doll from the saw, but it looks like Jonathan Davis from Korn, so its not as scary as the one in the movie. At least it was wearing an orange jumpsuit like the ones you get in prison.

Commercial break, time for a cigarette, and a coke.

Hatebreed, think I said something about this one last week, that’s mtv for you, good ‘ol unpredictable mtv is showing the same videos over and over again.
Thank God/Satan I’m not paying for it. Basic cable over here is cool like that, they don’t charge me for crap.
Some chick just fell of the ceiling, but the crowd was there to catch her, so we didn’t get any splat.


Within temptation, starts of with pictures of Vikings and demons, that’s cool.
And the singer chick is fuckeble.
I start to get really tired of this opera-metal crap, but I guess it what it takes to get the kids attention these days, now its raining, and the band is soaking wet, but the singer is dressed in black goth clothes, so we don’t get to see her hard nipples.
Now it seems like she’s gonna jump of a rooftop, probably tired of being in a band with a bunch of no talented no-guitar solo losers.

More videos they showed last time,
Swedish deathmetal, the drummer looks like he’s an old Maiden fan, he has a truckers hat on, and no teeth.
And the guitarist looks like the usual nu-metal dude, with his cap pulled far over his eyes.

Incubus - make a clown, or something is up.
The singer looks like a puss, and the guitarist is a Tom Morello wannabe. Who the fuck is a Morello wannabe? If you wanna steal the stage moves of people like Blackmore, or Jagger that’s fine, but Morello? Fuck, even a rippof of Paul Stanley’s stage acts is better.
There’s a lot of explosions, and aircrafts flying around on a screen in the background, but then I see one of the pilots is Jamie fox, and realize its from a movie, and have nothing to do with incubus making cool music videos.

When we come back from yet another break, Its finally Pantera’s turn.
Drag the waters.
Some people is dealing drugs in the ghetto, and gets coughed by the cops.
Phil has a nice trendy haircut, and looks like a guy that would go to your local church minus the tatts that is.
Dime plays his confederal flag but that’s all we see of him, what the fuck?
He really knows how to act during a guitar solo, it fucking ripps.
The band is spotted from below, frog perspective, and its supposed to be underwater, its cool.
Has something to do with the title of the song.
Vinnie’s tiger-striped beard rules, almost as cool as dimes pink , but it was in B&W so we didn’t see it.

Celtic frost – circle of tyrants
The singer gives a new meaning to the word “ugly”, but its nice to see a black meta video without the drama students dropouts painted up like a dead-whore tribute band to Kiss.
Leather and spikes, and it must be hard to play a guitarsolo with those spikes, but then again, he makes Kerry King sound like Yngwie.
The singer actually looks like Torstein Flakne from Stagedolls. And the bass player is dressed like Mozart.

Anthrax – all their new videos looks the same, somewhat live, with the purple setting, nothing else.

That’s all folks!
Guess you feel even more cheated than last week. Well, ill post this up, but next week, ill wait until its done, and see if its worthy being up online.
