It's Heavy Metal Turkey Day!

Back when I did Heavy Metal Sunday on Live Journal, I always made sure to have a really terrible video for Thanksgiving. Because "turkey" has come to mean something really bad as well as being a delicious bird. Even though I've stopped doing the HMS posts, I still like to do Turkey day.

Chris Holmes is the former guitarist for W.A.S.P and is perhaps best known for the vodka-drenched interview he gave while floating in his pool, with his mother sitting silently nearby, in the amazing film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years. After the breakup of W.A.S.P, he bounced around with a couple of different acts before embarking on a solo career.

What can you say about the video for Let It Roar? Apparently shot on an iPhone and editing by a small child, the video follows Chris around his adopted home in Cannes, France. Dude, there is nothing metal about your semi-retired life.




and as a bonus, the infamous interview:
