From 1987. Had to steal it from my mom and dad's collection...

"Brain destroying!"

"Fuck yeah."

Admittedly I have zero music or artistic talent. That’s why I admire others who do. Always a good student and athlete, my sole venture into music was inspired by this scene from “Wayne’s World” (1992).

Somehow I persuaded my mom and dad to let me take drum lessons and buy a drum set. My natural coordination and ability to “beat the shit” out of things were my only “gifts.” My musical “career” was short lived as my mom got tired of the banging down in our basement. So I ended up concentrating on football from middle school through college (I was an All-American linebacker) then getting my Ph.D. a few years later. Still, I wonder what might have been… Sigh…

Best YouTube quotes:

“I think the fact that I really love this scene is because Dana Carvey actually plays the drums.”

“No fucking way, you left out him saying ‘I like to play’.”

“Metallica were absolutely untouchable here!”

“Everyone, it is faster than studio. Album version is around 197 bpm, this is a little over 210.”

“If I had a fucking time machine...”

“If someone asks you what metal is just show them this video.”

Their debut single. From 2000. Saw these guys live once. Awesome.

Especially for Boner. I’m sure you’ve heard this one on the radio. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get invited to her next party…

Thought I’d post something different. Not what I normally listen to… Best thing about this video is the Redhead on the subway. Look for her around 2:11.

Best YouTube Comments:

“5.12.2018??”

“Who came here just to see the views?”

“This song nearly killed me once.”

“Like this so I can feel accomplished in life.”

“I remember watching this in like 4th grade thinking that this video was the coolest thing ever, but now it just makes me flat out uncomfortable.”

(Looked her up. Of course I did… Her name is Hyuna—also spelled HyunA and Hyun-ah. She is a star in her own right, and was born in 1992—so she is 20 here.)
