What's better than another creepy-ass Slipknot teaser video featuring that weird topless corpse-painted girl who's always covering herself in mud, doing yoga moves, and hanging out with goat heads? How about an awesomely hilarious clip of a bunch of kids wearing cardboard masks and rocking out with homemade instruments while recreating Slipknot's "Psychosocial" video?
Watch it below, and revisit—and compare and contrast—the original music video, as well.
Chicago-based guitarist Rob Scallon has ditched his banjo Slayer covers to shred a ukulele cover of Cannibal Corpse's "Frantic Disembowelment." Check out the video below.
For more about Scallon, follow him on Facebook and Twitter. And be sure to tell us what you think of the recording and video in the comments or on Facebook!
WATCH: "Raining Blood" banjo cover and "War Ensemble" cover.
The family that slays together stays together, and this sister duo undeniably slays. Watch as 10-year-old Audrey shreds the crap out of "War Ensemble" on the Rocksmith video game while her sister Kate goes all Araya on a swim noodle. Below is Audrey's caption on the original Youtube post:
Audrey (10 years old) plays Guitar - War Ensemble - Slayer on ROCKSMITH2014. I last played this in Jan. I couldn't pass without X back then but was glad to get a GOLD PICK this time! Also, CRAZY KATE!!!!! She surprised me with her SCREAMSSSS!!!
Thanks for watching!!
Sure, Iron Man may share his name with the classic Black Sabbath cut, but we all know that Batman is the most metal superhero. He's dark, angsty, sports a particularly demonic silhouette, and most importantly, despite all his super Batty doodads, he's human—just like the rest of us dark, angsty, demonic headbangers.
Considering his status as the most metal of superheroes, it was only a matter of time before Batman starred in an awesome metal music video. And that time is now. Watch below the badass animated clip from the band Children of Batman for their song "BATFACE"...which, by the way, bears a striking and totally credited similarity to Dethklok's "Face Fisted."
As always, let us know what you think in the comments. Happy #BatmanDay!
Someone—or something—named Uniformedia has complied and posted a charming six-minute video called "Ultimate Guitar Fails Compilation 2014."
As its title suggests, it's a compilation of a mess of "guitar fails" — those horrible things that happen when you're trying to look so cool on stage. Like when you try to flip the guitar around your back and it (or you) wind up on the floor.
Most of the "failures" in the video are regular folks, but there's also a James Hetfield appearance and one by Satchel of Steel Panther.
Enjoy! And tell us which one you love the most! I'm partial to the first one, which looks genuine. There's something staged-feeling about, but it's got to be real ... right?
In this clever new commercial, a fictitious metal band named MüttonGüt are duped by their tour manager into forgoing their typical party bus and riding Greyhound to their next gig instead. Hilarity ensues as the bandmates interact with their fellow riders.
Windmill headbanging is hard to do—how do you think Corpsegrinder's neck got so fucking thick?—but the dude in this insane viral video makes it looks easy...while spackling, demolishing, jackhammering, drilling, and more! The next time we need renovations done on Revolver HQ, we know who we're hiring.
Check out the clip below and please share the awesomeness with your friends.
Finland's Steve 'N' Seagulls are getting a decent amount of attention due to their bluegrass covers of heavy-metal classics, like Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" (watch here). Now, they're back with a new cover of Dio's "Holy Diver," and you can watch them in action below.
The LEGO movie was pretty cool, but it was seriously lacking one important thing: metal. Well, actually two important things, the second being...strippers. Fortunately, The Defiled have more than made up for those missing pieces with their new music video for the track "Infected," off the band's latest album, 'Daggers.' And they've teamed up with Revolver to premiere it right here right now. Check out the clip below and let us know what you think in the comments.
Check out the video below and let us know what you think in the comments. 'Daggers' is out now via Nuclear Blast. For more info on The Defiled, check Facebook.com/TheDefiled.
Today Revolver premiered The Defiled's badass new LEGO music video for "Infected." However, they aren't the only band that has appeared as badass bricks in hard-rocking clips. These are our five favorites.
