Heavy Metal Sunday throws one more cover on the pile.

Warm enough yet? I'll admit I got a little overheated when I went to pull the embed code for today's video and found that it had been pulled. But luckily, there's a live version!

Last year Kerrang! released a tribute disc, Maiden Heaven featuring Iron Maiden covers by both established and newer metal acts. It was a mixed bag, to say the least, but one standout was Machine Head's cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name. I was going to show you the music video they put together, but that's been pulled. Instead we go to the one of best music festivals in the world, Rock in Rio (actually held in Lisbon, Portugal), for Machine Head's first live performance of this Maiden classic.

Warning: Robb Flynn drops about twenty f-bombs in this one.

Oh, what the hell.. one more cover.

that I should have read the header right after looking at this: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2009/01/23/black.uk.timber.cnn

Got wood?

I saw that story on the BBC yesterday. Reminds me of the $50,000 bonfire we had when I was a kid.

Beer good... Fire bad.

And that reminds me of a camping trip, where most of the adults got drunk and set fire to a pile of drywood. The flames were at least 15ft tall, maybe even 30 (or I may be exaggerating, but it was a big mofo). We were hellishly lucky the fire didn't spread to the pines around the clearing.

The next day was spent saturating the area with water, since it looked like an underground fire was starting...
