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.

Must win lottery.

My new computer is great, but the keyboard is, well, lacking. Y'all may have noticed a number of dropped capitals in my recent posts? It's the keyboard.

So I'm cruising Think Geek when i see this. Holy crap, I could program it to show all the commands for Madden! Offense and Defense! But i really doubt that Kiri is going to let me spend close to 1,600 bucks on a keyboard, so I think i'll just plan on getting this one. I can also set it up to at least give different Madden functions different colors.
