UPDATED: Now Quarantined Italians Are Singing Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” From Their Balconies
Update, 4:51 pm EDT: Metal Injection reports that this video is doctored. MAJOR BUMMER!!!
Despite the current dire state of their country — the one most hurt by the coronavirus pandemic in all of Europe — at least some Italians seem to be handling their current lockdown with aplomb. There have been reports that across the country, folks have been taking to their balconies and singing to one another, and earlier this week, Enrico Monti, guitarist for the death metal band Skulld, took that shit to a truly next-level place, plugging in his axe and blasting Slayer’s “Raining Blood” for all his neighbors to fear hear.
Now, a new video from professional skateboarder shows scores of Italians in an unspecified part of the country going out onto their balconies and collectively belting “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath. Honestly, they look like they’re having more fun than we are in my neighborhood, and my neighborhood isn’t even under official “shelter in place” rules (yet).
Watch and live vicariously through these people, who simply refuse to let life get them down:
