Lego Metallica

YouTube + Metallica + Someone With Time on Their Hands = Good Times.

Tech writer Sarah Lacy (Business Week, Yahoo! Finance) posted a video of the classic Metallica tune "Whiplash," as performed by, you know, Lego pieces.

Lego Metallica - Whiplash

I doubt Ole Kirk Christiansen could ever have imagined that the simple toy he created would lead to… well, whatever you want to call this.

What's even funnier is that there are multiple vids of Lego pieces doing Metallica songs. Here is "One" and below you can see "Whisky in the Jar." These two efforts are more like re-creations of the music videos, but still quite amusing.

The Future Of BoyBands: Gauchos de Acero

Don't be fooled by the Pikachu teeshirt or the bunkbed in the corner of the room: Gauchos de Acero are soldiers of metal, and they are not messing around. Never mind that the oldest is fourteen, or that their four year old sister sometimes chimes in on backing vocals. They are hard core, and they're already playing to the bar crowds at home in Argentina. Here they're a YouTube phenomenon, and I don't use the word "phenomenon" lightly: they've had over two million hits on their first video, a cover of Sepultura's "Refuse, Resist". Vice Magazine recently posted an interview with oldest brother and guitarist Emilio, who describes their origins and their hopes for the future.

Here, Emilio shreds on "Tributo a Emerson Lake and Palmer" while his younger brothers drive a pounding rhythm.
