SYNCHRONIZED NUTSACK-SWINGING, WITH YOUR HOSTS, GERMAN METAL SUPERSTARS ACCEPT!

So I was listening to Accept’s landmark Balls to the Wall last night, and I decided to head on over to YouTube to enjoy the video fruits of the five leather-clad German men. Which is when I was reminded of the question I’ve always had about Accept… what the fuck is that singer doing in the band?? He looks nothing like the rest of them. It’s almost like their real singer was absent the day of the video shoot and the grip on the set was the best replacement they could come up with. Seriously. What UP with that dude?? And on top of that, his voice, though awesome, is completely different from any other singer at the time this side of Kevin DuBrow. Don’t get me wrong, I love Accept. Including this video. But man… what the fuck? I suppose the last laugh’s on him, because here I am playing their video 20 some odd years later.

Anyway, this video is a classic. Because NOTHING screams metal more than synchronized choreographed guitar routines. NOTHING. EXCEPT FOR WRECKING BALLS KNOCKING SHIT DOWN AND DUDES HEADBANGING INTO A WALL! My inner Beavis just came a little.

[Thanks to the asshats at SonyBMG who don’t seem to understand that I’d be giving them free advertising by embedding the video here, you’ll have to click here to watch it. They are losing views by making me link out. I’ve linked to the unofficial version just to smite them. Update: thanks to MetalSucks reader Pick-Axe Bobby who let us know about Roxwel, who have the video and allow embeds. Thanks!
