This is probably one of the lamest videos I've ever seen. Creepy. And somehow also funny.

In honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day: The Five A's.

Just randomly ran across this. Totally hilarious.

The singer is the main attraction here: Frate Cesare, a Capuchin monk. How cool is that?

If fonts were people...

A dose of heavy metal--emphasis on the heavy part--from Crowbar. Listen loud...and let your ears bleed.

They took my name, but I'm willing to share--they make good music. Their style is a bit of a departure for me, but a welcome one. This song is a really fun listen.

Yep, there is a band named ing--normally I wouldn't stand for name theft, but these guys are pretty good. Not their strongest song in my estimation, but it's still good listening.

Here it is…the intro, at least. You can find the whole thing online at http://www.comedycentral.com/colbertreport/full-episodes/index.jhtml?episodeId=175837.
Enjoy! (That’s a command. Enjoy it or I’ll hurt you.)

Troy Tipton of Zero Hour gives a little demo of some jaw-dropping arpeggio technique on the bass. This guy is a god.

Yeah, the video is kind of cheesy (what the hell is up with that devil suit?), but the song kicks ass. Death Machine is a death-metal side project of some of the guys from Zero Hour.

Jasun Tipton, of Zero Hour, showing some chops on his new Manne signature model guitar. Dude can flat-out SHRED.

Live in Iceland. This song RULES. The sound quality of this video doesn't do it justice. Zero Hour is the best band nobody's ever heard of--I'd say one of the best bands making music today, fame be damned.

Zero Hour live in Iceland. The production is a bit raw, but the song rules. At least it's a step up from some moron recording it on his cell phone. :) They're pretty underground, so there's not much video of these guys available.

Listen, and trust me when I say that they rule.

Words wouldn't do justice to the power--just listen.

Pure, grinding metal power.

"It's the next inevitable phase." COC gives the blues an awesome sonic bludgeoning.

This one rules. One of the best Prong songs I've heard. Killer riffs throughout, and the chorus is downright melodic for Prong.

One of the best metal songs ever. I heard this once or twice on the radio back when it first came out, and it was stuck in my head for years, but I never heard who it was. If I'd known it was COC, I might have bought the cd, and things might have been different...at least I know now.
