10 Crazy Metal Facts #2

[@Rossco1382]

The heaviest naturally occurring element is plutonium measured by the mass of the element. However, if you go by a practical metric, like the weight of a brick of a material you might think otherwise. Osmium and iridium are very dense materials ~22.6 g/cm3 -- about 20 times heavier than the same volume of water and about 10% more dense than plutonium. They would seem to be heavier, but the atoms are actually lighter. ...we were talking about heavy metals, right?

[@koala2581]

Wow,you almost made me laugh.Almost.

[@K4RN4GE911]

+Ross whitby NEEEEERRRRD!

[@Dlognar]

+Ross whitby That's debatable. Plutonium might only exist naturally in a neutron capture instance with some uranium in specific circumstances. Plutonium, generally, is only created in stars and supernovae. You could argue that there may be some Pu^244 somewhere. But no one has found it. So I don't know if that counts. Also, if you're going to plagiarize a website, you should at least make sure that they have done their research. scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=2687 Also, trololololol

[@lolololololol012]

+Ross whitby If i make strings out of plutonium for my 36 string guitar will it djent harder?

[@KaneMartin1]

Here's a story about Dave Mustaine that a lot of folks might not know about: Before getting involved with Metallica, Mustaine sold pot, and one of his customers worked at a record store. Sometimes, she'd bring by records in lieu of payment, and that's how he was introduced to bands like Iron Maiden and Motorhead. Mustaine jokingly said that the sound he developed might've been entirely different if it hadn't been for that chick at the record store being a total pothead.

[@malevolentsband6737]

Thanks for sharing brotha. This is definitely common knowledge though.

[@Cloud-og1qo]

+UsedPlacebo91 Good for Dave.

[@UsedPlacebo91]

Loej - Hell he was 15 and trading pot for LPs and Blowjobs

[@themetalmemeboi5429]

Kane Martin yeah. I actually knew that! Didnt he get his first record by selling a bag of pot. Anf I think it was acdc let there be rock?

[@WildSaltz]

You should talk about one of Slipknot's first Ohio shows, where they were buued and hurt by the crowd, due to the crowd saw Slipknot as a Mushroomhead rip-off. Paul's face got busted open when a crowd member threw a padlock in his face. After the show Slipknot and Motorhead when into the crowd and "dealt with them".

[@BrosselLP]

+SpazzEngage27 Really? I didn't even know that.

[@WillMaskellTaylor]

+SpazzEngage27 i knew slipknot did but i didnt know about motorhead!?

[@WillMaskellTaylor]

Brossel the thing about slipknot going into the crowd is true, corey taylor said so, the motorhead thing i personally dont believe

[@WildSaltz]

Ups, I mean Machinehead. Was listening to Motorhead

[@BrosselLP]

SpazzEngage27 Happens to me all the time. xDD

[@philanselmo2876]

I am starting to wonder is there a black metal musician that is sane?

[@deldarel]

+Phil anslemo I hope not

[@AndrewDeer1]

+Phil anslemo Probably Abbath or ICS Vortex.

[@TheDamasada]

+Phil anslemo Hoest from Taake is a pretty nice guy

[@nsiepmann]

+Phil anslemo As far as I can tell, Fenriz seems a mostly ok guy.

[@lttripitz5273]

+Phil anslemo Dani Filth from Cradle of Filth actually seems like a nice and down to earth guy too.

[@mattmanbrownbro]

I read somewhere on Wikipedia that Hypocrisy vocalist, Peter Tagtgren, had his heart stop beating for several seconds while in the studio. This made him write the song "Dancing with the Dead" for his side project called PAIN. I'm guessing this came from the stress of owning your own village, as well as running your own studio, label, two bands, and home life.

[@Yksinainensusi1]

The last words Randy Rhoads said to Ozzy Osbourne before his tragic death in a plane accident in March 19th 1982 were: "Why do you drink that stuff, Ozzy? One of these days it's gonna kill you." Talk about sad irony.

[@nandor1964]

There's this Nu-Metal band named 'Dope' that sold drugs at the beginning to finance their music gear, and other stuff to get started for.

[@Scriibble4]

+Jared Dines This

[@cliffordpurk5039]

+Jared Dines Steven Tyler kept cocaine in his crazy looking mic stands on stage. Ozzy did so much cocaine with motley crue he licked up Nikki Sixx piss off the ground. Jimmy Hendrix kept his head bands slightly soaked with acid for while he played on stage.

[@Glasshexagon]

+Al Alberqurque Dave Mustaine did it before

[@Vetrox13]

+Conshe Tumare agreed, i fucking love them

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

And they suck. That story is what the record companies used to sell their music, regardless of the fact that it's the most generic radio metal possible b

[@nxeini]

about Asking Alexandria, they even made a song about it, it's called "don't pray for me"

[@B3Band]

In Flames's first album has Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquility) on lead vocals. Dark Tranquility's first album has Anders Frieden (In Flames) on lead vocals.

[@pivotshabz]

Holy shit, there was shadows fall in the background, they are actually my favourite band! Good to see Jared knows of them

[@godmaster20]

the light that blinds by shadows fall. Good background music.

[@juliawesterveld3053]

there is a Black Sabbath parody band called Mac Sabbath. the members of the band are dressed as McDonald characters.

[@DJsportinggoods]

I'm really liking these kinda videos, keep on making more stuff like this!

[@brennanfegurgur1117]

thank you so much for spreading the real origin of the inverted cross! I've worn and used them to teach people that that meaning for years! I think you'll have a bigger influence

[@newblife]

You're awesome dude, thanks to you there are a lot more metalheads around!

[@ProSandlin]

Love this series! Can't wait to see more!

[@OzzyFan324282]

please make this a regular series

[@jefflarusa6566]

Lmfao. I believe they were chanting "drunk piece of shit." If I recall correctly. Hahaha. Nice video.

[@dafnis20]

btw props for stepping up a notch, this vid was much better than previous (not talking about the top list, but i mean your performance), keep up the good work man.

[@SyncopatedFin]

Jared. You need to look up StalagGH/GulagGH. These guys are next level batshit insane. I haven't heard of anything this weird/bad since Mayhem and the church burnings/murders/suicides in the 90s. Also, Mayhem's "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" album cover was a bit of a threat to bomb the church pictured, and not too long before the album came out explosives were found in the church.

[@liammoughler6176]

love the backround song

[@fadejmg]

The God that Failed is one of the best songs on Black Album.

[@zachp.3110]

Loving that Shadows Fall in the background.

[@bearmadden1776]

Hey Jared, here's something of huge infamy from my home town. In 2004, gorgoroth performed and taped their show in Kraków, Poland. The album is called Black Mass Krakow 2004. The performance included pig heads on stakes and blood sprayed on audience. There were also totally naked guys crucified on the stage, behind the band. There was a lot of controversy before and after the show, religious groups protested, and even the national television got involved. It was pretty much the most talked about metal event in Poland, and this is before Behemoth got really worldwide famous. There are a lot of materials about this online, the entire show is even available on KZbin. Check it out, might be a nice fact for the next episode!

[@CMQ01]

Love this series. Thanks!

[@dradenmerenox7172]

I feel 100% more brutal after watching the cattle decapitation video.

[@gillewill6082]

Shadows Fall background music :D!!

[@Riot076]

Cattle Decap is awesome! :D

[@Dslasher99]

Nice video, really cool. I have a fact, the guitarist Buckethead once toured with Guns N' Roses. Bucket would sometimes refuse to show up to some shows or practices, Bucket would begin getting spied on by a random group of people, sometimes waiting outside his home for around a week, Buckethead called up the drummer, "Brain" (Bryan Mantia) saying there was people outside his house in a car for around 3 days. He told Brain he'd go out there with a mask and a hatchet, which Bucket proceeded to do, he went out and walked around the car, and the mysterious people drove off. d'ere you go

[@PostiHDx]

I absolutly love Cattle Decap. Such a great band. I think it's sad that they still have to play these little shows :) I mean the Monolith album was fucking great and Travis' vocals are just brutal yet beautiful

[@richardcorral4405]

A band dedicated to Ned Flanders? I thought that was Weezer.

[@ferntheyoutuber9960]

LOL!

[@boredtodeath1133]

Sweet Jesus! 😂😂😂

[@frozenpizzaking]

an Ohio hardcore band's frontman once accidentally swallowed the entire microphone on stage and the show had to be stopped

[@OdinasOyb]

I find "The God that Failed" to be quite good, actually.

[@legendguitargamer]

Awesome format man! Keep doing

[@christhjian9923]

Great series, do more if you can and feel like it! :)

[@BrettWMcCoy]

Another thing about Tony Iommi, he was about to give up on playing guitar but was inspired by gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt to go back to playing, as Django played with only his index and middle finger on his fretting hand.

[@TrashMojo]

Fun one on the Zakk Wylde bit. i think this was don jamieson story. the no shower thing came about as a bet between some others in the band to see who could go the longest with out hygiene. so he was like 60 days or so. and these two girls came up and wanted a picture so they give the camera to don and he knew its been many days without cleaning and he just came off the stage. so zakk put his arms around the girls for the picture and you could see their faces change almost immediately and in the picture you could see them trying to smile through the smell.

[@vomitoriumbassist]

Link it up, if you can! Would love to see that photo, and have a nice chuckle! Cheers!

[@RPDragonforce]

you should make this a constant series

[@buni566]

I've met Gaahl several times. He's one of the nicest people I've ever met (I've met a lot of really nice people). He's always up for a chat and it's always interesting to listen to him... and he gives great hugs!

[@Intensityd00d]

The Lights that Blinds, nice!

[@Nex_Omne]

Thank god Danny is outta AA, like huge ups to the rest of the guys for holding it together with the amount of shit he pulled, the new dude Denis is a beast and is bringing some much needed fresh new energy to the band

[@lukelamont7331]

walk with me in hell- lamb of god: The final "walk with me in hell' line was recorded after Randy Blythe ran around the block 1 or 2 times, thought that was pretty cool. good video too!!!

i admire your knowledge on music so much! i would love to see a metal history series on your channel!

[@deathroman13]

+LisaSmithtm Most of this stuff is pretty much basic knowledge for metalheads.

[@Hrybread]

+deathroman13 "I know this stuff therefore its common knowledge to everyone"

[@deathroman13]

All my friends know this stuff as well.

[@Hrybread]

deathroman13 Yeah obviously if you are a metal nerd all your metal nerd friends will know this stuff as well. But this is obviously not made for metal nerds like you, its made for casual fans who don't know all the trivia yet.

[@21jherrera]

Mike Smith from Suffication was the first I remember starting the "Blasting" drum style

[@artardFTW]

actually, in Danny's last album with Asking Alexandria, in the beginning of the song 'don't pray for me' the live audio you hear is the audio from that show he ruined in Seattle.

[@Blazer1O1O1]

Talk about: jeromes dream. They were a skramz (or screamo, your pick) band that started early in the genre and incorporated screams. The vocalist was also the bassist and he didn't use a mic to scream, even live. Look more into it , it's crazy ! The band sometimes would perform looking away from the crowd.

[@kennethbernard1723]

great series dude

[@chemx1998]

Good video! Please make more of this.

[@glassstooth]

Word up for the Norma Jean background music. Wicked throwback.

[@Horse.with.a.broken.leg1846]

Although many people believe cattle decapitation's first release was "human jerky", it isn't. Their first release was a 7-inch vinyl demo called "ten torments of the damned" which doesn't include Travis performing and the sound being drastically different

[@JakeRoy96]

Some people say Mick Jagger killed Brian Jones, the original lead singer for the Rolling Stones. That's supposedly what the song "Paint it Black" is about.

[@lincolt]

Jared you are awesome. Keep it up!

[@mikaelbowzyk5477]

Decapitated on the beginning of their career had a lot of problems because of their age. Drummer was 12 years old, bassist 14, guitarist and vocalist 16. ...and they still wrote some classic death metal!

[@MioDDzio]

Topic for the next episode: Guns N’ Roses and Metallica concert in Montreal 1992 which ended with riots.

[@tomasskare6058]

Got one Pantera. The classic album from 1992, Vulgar Display of Power's title comes from a scene in the horror movie "The Exorcist". The scene futures the possessed girl and the exorcist. The girl is strapped to the bed. The exorcist asks the girl "Well if you are satan, why not make the straps disappear?" The girl/satan then replies "That's much to vulgar a display of power."

[@ellsiebellelila]

WHAT ABOUT the fact that slayer released the album "God Hates Us All" on 9/11 without knowing that the terrorist attacks would happen on that same day CRAZY SHIT RIGHT THERE!!!!

[@metalhead9577]

If Sabbath didn't form, I don't know who this world would turn. This video series would either be called '10 Crazy Pop Facts' or just not exist at all. Thank you Sabbath!

[@Michael-jg8pw]

Bruce Dickinson being an actual pilot, In Flames's Jesper Strömblad being an original member of Hammerfall, the tragedies surrounding black metal musician Varg Vikernes, Cliff Burton not being Metallica's original bass player, Pantera starting out as a glam rock band with Dimebag Darrell being called Diamond Darrell, members of Rammstein being put to jail because of their explicit performance of Bück Dich in USA, the list goes on and on...

Jason butler from letlive fought security after attempting to made an entrance from the crowd and got mistook for an invader

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

On the subject of Napalm Death, I believe it was ND's drummer Mitch Harris who first coined the term "blast beat", although I think its origins can be traced back to the underground bebop jazz scene of the 1930s, where drummers in cutting sessions (play-offs) would blast as fast as they could (bebop was all about playing faster, less accessible jazz than the current popular trend - big band)

[@AndrewDeer1]

Suggestion: Check out Kursk, they've got guitar made of AK47 and bassist has only A attached on his bass. Their name is russian (Kypck) and their theme is soviet, but they actually come from Finland.

[@jooniebug480]

[@maxwellhoffman7436]

Maniac from Mayhem would get so drunk before live shows that at times he just walked off the stage and Blasphemer, the guitarist, would have to finish singing the songs.

[@lewy_g_official]

You could try looking up some information for the Gojira singer when he once built a cabin in the woods and lived there for a while.

[@ismailb87]

+Lewis Griffiths I think his brother mentions it in an interview on KZbin

[@VicariousReality7]

+Lewis Griffiths For a while?

[@cm4133]

Nice! You can also talk about Mick Thomson from Slipknot who got stabbed by his drunken brother in March 2015. Fortunately he's alright. There are also people like Bon Scott or Sid Vicious (even if they are not metal musician) who had lots of "funny" stories in their lives.

[@antontipura2686]

Slayer's album ' God hates us all ' was released on 9.11.2001. Hehe . Their latest album ' Repentless ' is also released on same date. I found that extremely cool

[@VCJacka]

For the recording of Avenged Sevenfold's first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan recorded every drum track in a single take. Or Nikki Sixx once OD'd on heroin at a party at Slash's house and passed out in the shower. He was medically/clinically/legally dead for a few minutes being before revived with 2 adrenaline shots straight to the heart. He then promptly prepared another syringe of heroin and kept going.

[@FoxtrotBard420]

FINALLY!!! Someone is actually educating people on the upside cross! It's so stupid seeing a lot of people promoting it as "defiance". Mucho gracias Jared.

[@jordanlavender9016]

[@oliverking7098]

Amazing song choice. Norma Jean

[@MrXHammer]

If you want to hear the first blast beat, listen to the song "No Sense" on D.R.I.'s first album, Dirty Rotten LP, which came out in 1983.
