BLACK METAL ON AMERICAN IDOL
Monday, June 30th, 2008 at 3:34pm by Vince NeilsteinActually Canadian Idol. I’ve always known Canada is more progressive than the U.S., but this seals the deal. And is highly amusing. I’ll bet this dude gets some pretty killer health insurance.

wow, that guys a pretty amazing singer hahaha
K, so not only did that suck, but he was also way off tempo for the song.
Not to mention, when the FUCK did Dimmu Borgir call for pigsqueals?
The American AI also gets the death metallers, but only the absolute suckiest get air time. I imagine all 35 viewers of the Canadian version loved it.
Why don’t we get Marnie Stern in the Paula seat?
how he didn’t get recruited into the new Cryptopsy lineup is beyond me
“He’s goin’ to TORONTO!!!!”
HAHAHAA!
Even if he was too raspy for Dimmu Borgir… his dad was AWESOME!
Uh, first of all…This guy can’t sing death metal for shit. And second of all, what person who calls themselves a metal fan would wait around all day to actually try out for this show? What a pussy.
I got a good laugh out of that.
#1) that really sucked for death metal
#2) he actually is an OK operatic singer so I’m guessing he got in more on those merits.
#3) You MUST see the German Idol versions of these from a few years ago since Germans are far more dismissive of people in general and even more so in the show. myvideo.de used to have a bunch but they seem to have been pulled. This is the only short version. There is a full version of it where they rip him: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_pM-WSHPi0
If you search on youtube “german idol tobia” there is also a video of him interviewing Corpsegrinder. Guess it paid to be a douche on TV.
#4) just an aside the ‘godfather’ of canadian helath insurance in Quebec has called their system bankrupt and has been on the leading edge to re-privatize the industry in many places. The US system is far from perfect but I’ll take it over god awful universal socialized medicine any day of the week. I don’t have to wait 6 weeks to see a doctor while the government determines if I’m worthy.

(seriously, what happened to metal that people now look to the fucking government to handle ANYTHING? Maybe I’m an old geezer now thinking that a healthy contempt and suspicion of the government’s ability to handle anything is a GOOD thing. I mean, these are the same assholes who beat the shit out of your for having long hair and leather jackets ‘n shit for fun for Christ’s sake.)
Ah c’mon you whiners, at least it was fun, and he does dress better than his old man.
funniest shit ever
really cool
Boots with the furrr
manny, in regards to your comment #4 you are an idiot…no one waits 6 weeks! stupid american…
That actually wasn’t too bad, and the guy didn’t come off as a total douchebag and pseudo “I’m so tough-corporate music sucks” type of guy, like that dude who did “Wait and Bleed” on the Australian or New Zealand version of the show
yuck , he butchered that song…
