I'd forgotten about this

Something to make Baby Jesus and deadwinter cry.

I suffered through this video a couple of weeks ago. It burned, in a very bad way.
I give you
The Darkness
(found on a friends friends list, it reminded me of the horror.)

Please beware - the lead singer makes children run and hide in terror.

Addendum - All I could think of watching this horror was how deadwinter would be reacting.
"wha-what is this?"
"how, what....what IS this?"
*ARGH*
All in that sexy accent.
It's the only way I kept my sanity. It's like seeing Cthululu. You go insane.

I'm so setting your bed on fire.

HEY!
I gave you FULL warning.
Try watching the video, being UNABLE to escape?!?!
It was like Megadeth, meets the Who, meets some screeching unamed animal who was waiting to rip you apart in the dark.

80's cheese metal is back in style! ;p

[tiamatlady]

No, really.
It's much, much worse.

Believe it ot not, I don't think it's that bad. It is unimaginative, and lame, but they can clearly play and the guy can sing. They are just cashing in on the latest "we want our own version of the good music that came before" trend.

Have you SEEN the video?
Have you seen that blonde horror in a SILVER JUMPSUIT touching himself onscreen?
I really thought it was a S'pinal Tap" kind of thing.

I'm ashamed of you. I could HEAR You cringing in horror at this.
Bad Boy!

First time I heard 'em, I thought it was Stryper come back from the grave LOL.

This is the obvious bastard child of 80's metal - I kinda dig it in a nostalgic way, but what I don't understand is why it's getting airplay on so-called "alternative" radio stations - being that grunge going mainstream is pretty much what a) killed 80's hair metal and b)pioneered the alternative radio format into commercial existence.

Such irony...

It's worse

They are trying hard to sound like Zep and Billy Squier at the same time. It's hamfisted and obvious, they are sticking to the surface histrionics yet have none of the soul, which is what makes it so transparent and bland.

Pretty much, I had heard the mp3 before, so the nose bleed wasn't that bad this time. I'm sure that at some point I will regret having clawed out my eyes, but it seemed necessary at the time.

AAAAAAAGH!

[tiamatlady]

NO!
I'm NOT looking.
I need my eyes right now.
I felt dirty after watching the thing. Like i wanted those five minutes back.
