PASSOVER IS METAL

Who said Jews can’t rock? For proof, look no further than Scott Rosenfeld (aka Scott Ian, Anthrax) and Saul Hudson (aka “Slash“) who have been known to munch on the matzoh from time to time. It’s also common knowledge that David Lee Roth (ex-Van Halen) is a world champion dreidel spinner who would give Gene Simmons a run for his gelt. Add to the list Dream Theater‘s Mike Portnoy, Disturbed‘s David Draiman, Perry Farrell (Jane’s Addiction), Buzz Osborne (The Melvins), Marty Friedman (ex-Megadeth) and Dee Snider and Jay Jay French of Twisted Sister and we’ve got quite a party for this year’s seder.

Check out this excellent list of Jewish musicians.

As if that’s not enough just look at the 10 plagues, which pretty much read like the chorus to any song Slayer ever wrote:

* Blood
* Frogs
* Vermin
* Beasts
* Cattle Disease
* Boils
* Hail
* Locusts
* Darkness
* Slaying of the First Born

Wow. Think about that as you eat the bitter herbs. Happy Passover.
