There are so many things to say about Living Colour: geniuses, legends, soulful, Black excellence personified, etc. I could go on, but frankly, I don't need to. All I need is for you to watch this: youtu.be/cwwJkaT2PHM?... If Vernon's solo doesn't pull your soul out your mouth, you don't have one!

It's not shocking that some kid who wants internet fame and money steals people's content and posts it as his own; what's shocking is that Danny Sapko broke this story! I already thought Danny was great, now I think he's a hero. Never change, Danny. #giacomoturra

I usually post about metal, but I'm a fan of a lot of music. One of my favorite singers is Annie Lennox and of the many incredible songs she's written, this might be my favorite. youtu.be/xi19gH6_waE?...

I just saw this from Mastodon's official Facebook. What? I'm not saying this is bad for them, but damn, I've only ever seen them live once. #Mastodon #BrentHinds

I'm enough of a metalhead that I basically watch all the metal parody movies. Heavy Trip is definitely one of the best. If for some strange reason you follow me and wonder "How many metal parody moves can there be?", don't worry, you're going to find out! youtu.be/XkAAAGEyFS8?...

As I said I don't love everything Babymetal does, but this track absolutely slams. I know, technically it's a collab, but it's really just their song with some extra guitar work. youtu.be/hkij4LvACZ0?...

I love Bloodywood, their guitar tones are filthy and drums are incredible. They go hard! I don't want it to sound like I don't appreciate Babymetal but I'm not a fan of everything they do. I have liked most of their collabs though, and this one is no exception. youtu.be/skXlKxjlUoo?...

I've seen it four or five times in theaters alone. Probably watched it 3 or 4 times on VHS. Lost count after that.

I'm not really a fan of Bring Me The Horizon, but this collab with Aurora is amazing (and I am a fan of Aurora). This live performance is better than the album version.

A lot of people do musical comedy, but it is rare for any of them to create a band and music that is worth listening to on its own. Metalocalypse is brilliant in that way, and this is one of my favorite songs. Turn that volume up! youtu.be/eDjdgDzwFUo?... #metalocalypse #metal

I'm not non-political, but I really mostly come here for metal. That being said, this performance by Agnes Obel of her song The Curse is absolutely divine. It astounds me that there are still people who haven't watched Dark, but her song on that show is how I found her.

There's an enormous world of #metal music out there (using that in the broadest sense) and I only just discovered this. I think I like it...I think? #japanese #japanesemetal Oh, and that's Tadanobu Asano, a very famous actor that you may know most recently from #Shogun.

This might be the greatest single metal performance of all time. Don't get me wrong, as much as I love #Pantera I'm not saying they were the best #metal band of all time, just that this may very well be the perfect performance. #heavymetal

For those who know, it's no revelation that Corey Taylor is a great vocalist. I don't actually like Slipknot so I don't talk about him much, but he really has a great voice. I just wish it was used for better music. Like Motorhead! youtu.be/6Mg9Jg3KvEQ?...

First off, Angela usually has pretty interesting topics, so I do recommend watching more of her videos, but this one happens to be about how billionaires want you to think they're smart, and also a great takedown of Atlas Shrugged.

People are probably going to call my #metal tastes fairly pedestrian. They're right, I don't love growling, I like singing and the growliest I really want it is James Hetfield level. But hey, that's ok, there's plenty of metal for us all. #heavymetal

How long has it been since you listened to St. Anger? Are you remembering it wrong? I did. I was joined by Stephen Brewer from Lions At The Gate to revisit the record and my memory was wrong for sure. Episode 203 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, links in replies!
