Lil' Jon samples SLAYYYYEEERRRRRRR's Raining Blood. You're welcome.
Public Enemy did it better.

Neil Hamburger is not just America's funny man, he is one of my favorite comedians. I saw him do standup not too long ago with Sid and he delivered this joke and I lost it. The guy rules! If you ever get the chance to see him, do it, he's like a trainwreck in action. The funniest line I ever heard came out of his mouth and it was "Can I get some more laughs in the monitors?". If that's not enough, he sings too. After the jump, check out the amazing cover art for his upcoming collaboration with Australian punk act The Hard Ons… (more…)

If you haven't heard, Conan O'Brien has taken over the reigns of the Tonight Show. Sid and I have been watching since he started last Monday and so far, it's been great. The show is basically the same as the old Late Night show, a little less "edgy" and a lot higher budget. How high? Every night there have been some amazing cameos, including last night when Conan went Craigslist shopping for a new guitar. Not knowing much about guitars, Conan enlisted the help of none other than SLASH to help him out. This clip is pretty hysterical. One thing that really urks me is these people they visit don't really seem to be too excited that fucking Slash is in their living room playing their guitar. Wake up people!

In case you are wondering, CoCo is a nickname Tom Hanks gave Conan in the first week of the show, but since you watch the show, you already knew this!

DAATH's newest album, The Concealers, has several good songs, impeccable musicianship and enough variety to consistently hold interest. It won't change your life, but good metal doesn't always need to, and for a heavy, catchy American death metal album, you could do a lot worse. (more…)

Gene Simmons recently had a debate with music industry guru Bob Lefsetz. They are both Jews, they both have conflicting viewpoints. The yenta fight that ensues is comedy gold. In my opinion, I think Gene finally got his ass handed to him:

With Christmas only days away, I think I've just had about enough of all the Christmas caroling and all the terrible commercials equating love with consumerism; which is why our (self-proclaimed) "classic" AntiChrist-mas Special still holds relevant. Check out what happens when Rob takes the Christmas spirit a little too far, and loses all his friends and perhaps all of eternity in the process…

Be on the lookout for an ALL NEW Metal Injection Holiday Special on Christmas Day!

We found this fantastic clip from our 2006 Christmas special in the dusty attic of the Metal Injection studio, and figured we should re-upload it back to the site just in time for the holiday season. We got a few bands to rework the 12 Days of Christmas to put a little metal spin on it. Can you figure out who all 12 are? If you can't, the answers are after the jump… (more…)

After posting the new Ozzy Osbourne commercial last week, somebody over at MetalSucks via the comments linked to the above video, which was just too awesome to not share with everybody.

People were really scared of metal in the 80s. Were people really this retarded? I guess not much has changed, as their reactions to "satanists" is akin to the reaction to "terrorists" nowadays. Anyway, this clip is awesome. Check out some retro hair-dos and some signs if your child is a Satanist at the end.

Yesterday we posted a new commercial featuring the Prince of Darkness, OZZY OSBOURNE acting like a bumbling idiot who nobody can understand. That is not the Ozzy that I remember! The Ozzy I remember is coherent, hilarious and scares older folks. Thus, I went on a journey to prove this and found this amazing video clip, of an interview Ozzy did a few months after Randy Rhodes died. The interview is really compelling, as Ozzy really opens up and talks about how people were treating him. Keep in mind, in 1982 people thought Ozzy Osbourne was the devil, not in a cute Hot Topic way, but in a literal "Oh My God, my children will kill themselves if they listen to his music" kind of way. And, that's way we like him!

Wow, this video (via Metalsucks) just made my day. Rock on kid!

The Deciblog has uncovered this amazing clip of a few elderly Americans reviewing heavy metal band HARVEY MILK. Really, the clip speaks for itself. I must warn you, if you are drinking anything or eating anything, finish before watching this. You don't want to swallow a teabag or anything.

Oh those Japanese people, with their zany ideas. The above clip is called Chainsaw Maid and its fucking awesome! Zombies and claymation, how can you wrong? If you want more, check out more here

Job For A Cowboy in another viral video? Pretty funny clip nonetheless.

When my buddy Paul from The Apparatus linked me to VIO7's Myspace page, I couldn't help but snicker. A metal/hard rock band led by a violinist? Caaaam on. But then I saw the clip below of the Crazy Train solo, and I was impressed. So much so, that I thought I'd share…

Time for a little old school MOTORHEAD up in this piece. Their video for "Killed By Death" (above) should be the blueprint for all bad-ass metal videos that follow. Come on! A motorcycle through the living room…that's so cool, they had to show it twice. What other metal videos have instant replays? I certainly can't think of any!

The above needs no explanation [unless you're too young, in which case.. GROW UP!!!]

During our interview with BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME from last year's Saints and Sinners fest, vocalist Tommy Rogers mentioned a side project he had formed with Gunface and Greg Weeks of THE RED CHORD called PLANT VOCHESTRA. It is officially the greatest side project in the history of all mankind. This is clearly the product of being really tired and really bored on tour and trying to come up with the most random thing ever, and it totally clicks in the most obnoxious of ways. So check out the above clip, and if you want more, Part 2 of this performance is also available.

So, what's the deal with all these new bands that put the core in grindcore with their silly long names and infectious breakdowns? There may be a bit of an overflow of these types of bands, but I declare that Louisiana's IWRESTLEDABEARONCE are a band to reckon with. This band has a pinch of everything, grind, core, some jazz, clean vocals, and a female singer to boot! What I liked most about this band, is the balance of not taking themselves too seriously and then absolutely bringing it!
