That's honestly amazing. From what my brother has told me, learning to play the guitar is pretty hard. This kid makes it look easy though. I also remember seeing a blind guy at my school play piano incredibly well. Makes me wonder, wtf is MY excuse? People can do anything they set their minds to.

This Metal website has a fun feature: Clans! Members are allowed to select three of them upon first joining (with the biggest contributors then being granted a fourth option). If you were to sign up for that place, which three clans would you choose?
I think I'd go with...
Coincidentally, these are the first three clans that appear.

Social Distortion is a heavier band that I think goes under the radar sometimes.
My older brother likes them so I heard this song a lot as a child. Granted, many of the songs fall under Punk Rock. I always remembered this one for being slightly stronger on the instruments.

Back when Incubus was some kind of weird, funky Metal band:
One can definitely hear the influence of Faith No More (Primus, even).

I love the animation for Crazy Train by Black Sabbath.
I can't believe that I've never seen it before.

It's Rocktober 13th. You know what that means, Double Fine fans...
That's right. This fantastic video game love letter to Heavy Metal is 15 years old, today. Wow... 15 long years.
One more video for good measure. I don't think I can do this beautifully-flawed, falsely-advertised gem of a game enough justice.
I remember playing the Xbox Live demo before the game came out on. At the time, I was open to trying out new games — seeing which ones appealed to me. This particular game did, and I knew I had to get it, which I did as a Christmas present that year. I still cherish Brütal Legend to this day. The music (both the licensed tracks and the original score by Peter McConnell), the story, the humor, the worldbuilding, the characters, the multiple iconic voices of Metal (Ozzy Osbourne, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford) — so much I love about the genre is packed into this game. Tim Schafer — creative director, holds a longstanding tradition of joining online in the game's multiplayer component at around this time of year, typically to help players with achievements (and possibly trophies, though I'm not sure). While the RTS elements were never advertised properly (for some bizarre reason, which threw many people off; I didn't mind it, though), I think it's a Testament (yes, the first two songs from the album The Formation of Damnation are in the game; should really listen to more of that band) to the transparent passion Double Fine had for this game, and it's criminal it never got a sequel — even when one was being worked on.

I was on youtube a few years ago, listening to the soundtrack for the first Dave Mirra. A playlist for the soundtrack to this game was in the recommendations. I don't usually play stuff recommended to me, but took a chance that day. It was awesome! I've never actually played the game though.
I was feeling nostalgic, so I went and found the video that introduced me into heavier music. Our grade 7 history teacher played this for the class. I think it was the first beatles song that I ever heard.
John Lennon being murdered is such a tragedy.

Decided to see what the "best Metal albums of all-time" were on AOTY, and I wasn't expecting for Toxicity to be #1! (I figured that it would be either Black Sabbath's Paranoid or some album by Metallica).
It currently has a score of 91/100 (with 9,111 user ratings).

While searching for something completely unrelated to Metal, I stumbled upon an article from Psychology Today that's all about Black Sabbath. I thought it was an interesting read, so I'll feature it here for any other Sabbath enthusiasts.

Black Sabbath and the Secret of Scary Music
The secret of Black Sabbath’s sound is the tritone, also known as the Devil’s Interval or diabolus in musica. But musical convention may have more to do with the sonic effect than anything Satan could claim credit for.
