MetalSucks reader J.A.M. dared us to make it through this entire video of the mysterious Nicki Rose… which I did, gladly. Even if you can’t make it from start to finish, make sure you stick with it until at least the 1:00 mark when the camera zooms out. Pure artistic genius like this doesn’t strike the earth often.

Reminds me a little of another MS favorite savant, Romeo Rose. Any relation?

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to Romeo Rose.

1. Obnoxious pseudonym? Check.
2. Tacky website that looks like it was made in 1996? Check.
3. Owns the .com, .net and .org which all point to completely different websites (all equally cheesy)? Check.
4. Ridiculous-looking custom guitar? Check.
5. God pose in press photo? Check.
6. Biography that indulges in every press release stereotype in the book? Check.
7. Average to below-average chops? Check.
8. Also claims to be an artist and a poet? Check.
9. etc.

Yup, looks like… smells like… tastes like… yes folks, it’s a douchebag! In addition to being a “living Legend, a National Treasure, a [sic] Icon” of course. Congratulations, Romeo Rose. You make the rest of us proud of our meager existences. Thanks to MS Maniac RobotScythe for sending this in.
