Look at how ridiculously awkward these guys look when trying to be "metal."

That is not metal.

The band looks like a mess more than anything. Just trying too hard to look the part.

the whole idea of "looking metal" is ridiculous imo. the song is not that bad & they definitely sound like heavy metal. i guess i just don't see the problem. are they posing a bit for the video? sure, but then again, what band doesn't?

They look like some usual average metal band, except the vocalist who annoys me a lot.

the entire visual side of heavy metal is bad acting imo. it's just entertainment... one way or the other.

eh, being skilled at acting ridiculous is barely more laudable than looking ridiculous by failing to act properly ridiculous. to an outsider, its all a slice of the same pie, though.

didnt we just have a thread on 'looking metal'??

Cool!

Nice to see some kiddies playing metal and I'd rather it "look" a bit awkward than sound terrible.

The song didn't do much for me, but I didn't see a problem with them "acting" metal. I was expecting make-up or bad costumes. Just looked like some long-hairs in jeans and sneakers playing music.

They look ok to me. The posing for the video is a little awkward though. Doing windmills while soloing would never happen in a live situation. Windmills and headbanging usually goes on during instrumental sections where there is a bit of a groove or something.

As for the song, it's not bad. I like the music. I didn't care for the vocals.

I expected a lot worse. With that being said, I did think the bass player was trying a little bit too hard. The shot of him up on the beat up old car looked silly after the initial shot. He kind of looked like the odd guy in the group. The vocalist had his moments as well, but I thought the lead guitar player and the drummer looked the part. The song itself wasn't bad, but I would agree that the vocals are just meh...

If I browse onto another webpage and just listen to the song, I like it. The singer doesn't annoy me as much as when I'm watching the vid.

If this is considered highjacking, I apologize, and I'll delete these.....But, if it's about bands trying to act metal in a video, these are a few of my favorite over the top asinine funny ones......I ran across while searching the tube.....

Even if this first one is not at all serious, and they are trying to be this over the top, it cracks me up....If it isn't that at all, I'm still laughin.....

I've seen sillier metal videos from the 80's, I mean has anyone gone back and watched how silly many of the videos we watched on Headbanger's Ball really are?

I love metal but I hate the "poser" side of it.

Watching the video...I don't think they look ridiculous or awkward at all...they're just rocking out and having fun.
