THE HEAVY METAL MONK
Friday, July 18th, 2008 at 4:38pm by Vince NeilsteinAt least four of you sent in news about the Heavy Metal Monk today. This is awesome for SO many reasons, amongst them: a 70+ year old man with a scream better than 95% of deathcore posers; that beard, man! Watch.
That settles it. I’m buying a friar’s robe. Hell, I’m already a Padres fan, so I might as well.
That is too fucking cool!!!
God damn! I love the internet.
His scream sounds like one of those spitting lizard things from Jurassic Park.
I… just… that’s rad.
When I saw this article this morning, I thought I was gonna laugh out of embarassment. But, brother metal is fucking hardcore.
Fuckin…wow…
I remember that this was featured in a documentary I saw on tv 2 years ago, it was about some Italian metalhead who was ritually murdered, and this man was interviewed and shown while performing on a festival. Quite cool by the way.
he’s throwing horns, that fucking monk is throwing horns. . . Eat your heart out dio!!
this is pretty damn cool. now my Dad has NO EXCUSE to be so lame.
and no, I don’t live at home. seriously.
Yeah I got sent a link to this yesterday! Monk making the metal horns = best thing ever.
I saw him at the megadeth concert in milan past march: the guy kick serious ass and it’s also really funny to talk with :D

This Old Fart approves!
legend.
Adorable.
Deathcore sucks anyway.
Just saying this:
you gotta be fucking kidding of you think that is better than 90% or some thing better than most metal bands or whatever the fuck it said. This website is a pile of bull shit. I know 16 year olds than can metal scream better than the fucking Monk or whatever. I know kids that can metal scream better than that when they are girls and they’re fooling around. So shut the fuck up. Dumb fucks.
Sounds like Devine And Departed is friends with the remaining 5% of deathcore posers who can apparently scream.
No actually I don’t really like deathcore?
Uh… People can scream better than that.. and uh…. Yeah.
I’m more a hardcore kid… so …. I dunno. I think
The Holly Springs Disaster, and anyone else I listen to is pretty fuckin A plus.
If you pro rate for age, this monk can most certainly outscream a ton of the invisible ninja band screamer kids. I was actually surprised when i watched the video,i expected it to be a complete joke but i gotta say, the old guy and his band are pretty bad ass. And on the Subject of Deathcore, i may be in the minority…but Suicide Silence and Whitechapel are badass.Suicide Silence being the far superior of the 2.
And oh yeah, I gotta say, pretty much anyone who doesnt think that a 70 year old Monk that can scream like a bad ass and front a metal band while throwing the horns and speaking and singing in italian is completely off the charts amusing and cool just sucks a big hairy ass! You are just trying to be way way way to cool for the crowd if you cant appreciate that for what it is and admit its pretty freaking cool. Its not very often you see a dude that old that just happens to be a man of the cloth slinging horns and metal screaming and growling like a bad ass and fronting a band that shares the stage with Iron Maiden and Megadeth. Lighten up Frances, its ok to admit stuff is cool sometimes. It really must suck to think that everything sucks all the time.
Well put Erin, Well put.
this is fucking awesome
invisible ninja? Retard.
Suicide silence is the shit
Whitechapel just sounds ridiculously stupid….
Who the fuck is Frances?
OConnor : It’s not that fucking awesome

nah… hahahaha… this guy is 6 pounds of awesome!!!
Holy shit
Why does everyone think that this is so awesome?
because it is……Why do you think its so un-awesome. And yes, Suicide Silence is the shit, I can agree with you on that.
Well good, it’s so un the shit cause it just isn’t all that interesting.. or… like awesome
and yet, D&D, you keep coming back…
Of couse… why not?
