Watch: The Avett Brothers Perform Folk Covers of Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Black Sabbath

So apparently one of Jimmy Fallon’s comedic bits on his talkshow last night was a mock commercial for The Avett Brothers Sing Heavy Metal, a collection of metal covers (duh) performed by folk band The Avett Brothers (double-duh). The “commercial” — done in the style of all those cheesy collections they used to sell on TV (Greatest Love Ballads of the 80s, shit like that) — is kinda funny, although the joke gets old fast; honestly, the part I find the most interesting are the snippets of metal covers as performed by the folky foursome.

If this were a real album, I would listen all the way through at least once. You?
