IMO hair-metal is a variety of metal, though not the metallest metal. Anyway, Man O War is on the countdown, so it can't be THAT bad, huh?

Ha! I love it. Hysterical. I'm a bit of metal fan myself. Tomorrow is the final countdown (no pun intended rofl ).

I was surprised to see a band like Gorgoroth on the countdown, talking about how they got in trouble for having ashow in Poland with crucifictions and goat heads. Nasty stuff. :D

I think the part on the history of Meyhem was the best.

"But wait, there's more!"

And then one band member blew his own brains out...

"But wait, there's more!"

And then another band member took his brain and made stew out of it...

"But wait, there's more!"

And then one band member murdered another to prove that he was the most evil member of the band...

"But wait, there's more!"

and on and on and on. What a FREAKSHOW!!!

Yep. Mayhem-Darkthrone-Burzum and that whole scene were practicing what they preached. Varg Vikernes recently escaped from jail btw:

BURZUM mastermind Varg Vikernes has provided the police with detailed information about his movements while on the run during a recent attempted jailbreak, according to the Norwegian daily newspaper VG. Vikernes has also talked about the assistance he has received from various people on the outside after he left Berg Prison Saturday morning (Oct. 25), but has refused to identify any of the other individuals involved.

Vikernes, who was said to have been equipped like a commando when police forced the stolen car he was driving off an Oslo highway early Monday (Oct. 27), has been in isolation since Wednesday (Oct. 29) as police continue to search for clues that might help them identify the convicted murderer and arsonist's accomplices.

Varg has thus far refuted eyewitness reports that he pulled a gun on the family whose Volvo he stole on Sunday. Meanwhile, police have confirmed that an AG 3 high-precision automatic rifle (with the capacity to kill a person at a three-kilometer distance) was found in a cabin where Vikernes stayed during his escape.

"[Vikernes] has been charged with stealing a Volvo car, possession of an AG 3 automatic rifle and a handgun [believed to have been used while hijacking the Volvo] and breaking and entering [in connection with the cabin break-in]," a police source told VG.

John Christian Elden, Vikernes' lawyer, said on Wednesday that the former black metal musician is very depressed and has realized the repercussions of his latest criminal activities. According to criminal experts, if convicted of these crimes, an additional two years will most likely be tacked onto Vikernes' sentence.

Varg presented himself as Count Grishnᣫh in court in 1994 but he is commonly known as Greven (The Count) in Norway. He is currently serving a 21-year sentence for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Øystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous), the burning of three churches, and the resulting death of a fireman.

BURZUM mastermind Varg Vikernes, who is serving a 21-year Norwegian prison term for the August 1993 murder of MAYHEM guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous), had an extra 14 months tacked on to his sentence for car theft and possession of an AG3 automatic rifle and 700 bullets during his failed escape attempt late last year, according to Aftenposten.

Although the prosecutor had originally requested that Vikernes spend an additional 22 months in prison in connection with his latest arrest, he received a reduced sentence of 14 months after the court determined that there was no evidence to back up a family's claim that Vikernes threatened them with a pistol and hijacked their car after failing to return to prison as scheduled after a short leave.

Varg, who was charged with armed robbery after being captured on a highway on the outskirts of Oslo following a massive manhunt, denied having forced the car from the family using a gun, claiming it was a flashlight.

Vikernes, commonly referred to as a Satanist but more accurately described as a deeply anti-Christian and anti-Semite black metal musician who claims that he believes in Old Norse gods like Odin and Thor, gained notoriety in Norway for being responsible for one of the most brutal murders ever committed in the country (Aarseth was found dead outside his apartment in Oslo with 23 stab wounds ? two to the head, five to the neck, and 16 to the back).

Here he is getting arrested again (the guy looking at the camera):
