Ryan Adams’ already-well-documented metal fandom continues to rear its head in the below video, which is meant in part to celebrate Halloween, but really to promote his new album, Ashes & Fire. I’m still not quite convinced that Adams’ love of the genre isn’t just ironic hipster posturing (…says the dude who runs a website called “MetalSucks”), and the joke in the clip gets old kinda fast, but maybe you’ll at least enjoy it for a minute or two? And if not, well, leave me alone, I’m just trying to keep you guys entertained, alright? Sheesh.

Thanks to my cousin, Jeff, for his ongoing efforts to turn me on to the work of Mr. Adams.
