62-year-old Catholic monk and heavy metal rocker

“62-year-old Friar Cesare Bonizzi is a Roman Catholic monk by day and heavy metal crooner by night. Known by the stage name, “Fratello Metallo,” he and his band just released their second album.”

The above news story has a video attached to it. A terrible sounding handheld bootleg live recording can be found on Youtube.

Horror: Take That performing Smells Like Teen Spirit

This ruined an evening of perfectly good procrastination on Youtube. I’m shocked and appalled.

Video: Tool - Stinkfist (Live in New Jersey 1997, unidentified concert)

Delicious wrongness. With real headphones, this actually sounds pretty good. I wasn’t able to find an as decent recording of recent, more refined versions.

Josh Homme/QoTSA cussing incident and Norwegian Wood ‘08 concert video

As made clear in this video of Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age) cussing at some jackass at Norwegian Wood last month, it’s inadvisable to throw stuff at performing musicians.

I’ve delayed posting this as I wanted to include a good source of the whole (quite good) concert, I knew it was broadcasted on Norwegian public service tv. Recordings are available on TPB and for the moment, Youtube (add &fmt=18 to the the end of Youtube video urls to get higher resolution video and stereo sound). The cussing incident takes place the moments before No One Knows.

Liam Finn and EJ Barnes - Second Chance (The Late Show, February 28, 2008)

I’m usually highly offended by any kind of miming or deceptive use of lead guitar and vocal tracks in live performances of music, but Liam Finn is excused thanks to the the spectacular ending of this video of his performance on Letterman earlier this year.
