I’ve said it before but it’s worth repeating: I absolutely adore the fact that Protest the Hero actually put a ton of effort into making their studio videos funny / interesting / awesome instead of just stitching together a bunch of clips of dudes recording. Not only did the guys have to spend time shooting extra footage just for these videos, but someone had to have the ideas, someone had to execute them (and presumably do multiple takes to get it right… like those excellent basketball scenes!), and someone had to edit them all together in a way that makes sense. Like their music, everything is well thought out. Much respect. It’s also great to know that some dudes still actually have fun doing this shit, ya know? Because after all, metal is funny. Metal sucks.

Here’s the second studio video. It features footage of Luke Hoskin and Sir Beardy McBeardstein Tim Millar recording guitars for their upcoming album Vince Neilstein Just Splooged All Over Me, out early 2011 on Vagrant Records.
