Wow that was horrible.
But get this, that is actually the most dominate style of music in the area.
They all sound like that, and everyone is always talking about they are going to there little hardcore shows and how they love this music 
. I try not to laugh at them but I mean seriously how can one call that "style" of "music" music?
luckily there are some people that don't like listening to "pig squealing" <-- and that is what they call the screaming thing the guy in the video was doing.

The last thing you'll ever see
There is *no* type of music that is 'easy' to play well and with feeling; OTOH, it's probably a little easier to play 'bad' metal, blues, jazz etc that has no soul .... lots of metal is very technically demanding AND enjoyable to listen to.
One way of becoming a 'bad' musician is to make sweeping generalisations about other forms of music you might not personally enjoy....
Like Geddy Lee, Randy Rhoads, And Dimebag Darrell
Nice one idiot. I know Metal riffs you can't even strum let alone fret,
UH......pardon me while I go PUKE MY GUTS OUT.
I think the singer's about to do it for you.
i can fret anything dufus... bass is my life, what i breath... just look at any "killer" metal bass player and you can just tell by watching a video how easy and how bad thier finger positions are... let me not get started on how most of them use a pick.... "hey dudes i need to play faster but i dont want to put any time into my instrument... il just use a pick" find me a good metal bass player "alphamale" on youtube, and i will dissect his technique to nothing.. boooyaaa. this is a comedy.
by the way i just looked at youtube's dimebag whatever... its all a bunch of noise my friend... hey im cool im just playing up the fingerboard as fast as i can... let me bang my head to this because i like to listen in the car while i drive fast with all my little hardcore friends...playing fast is not ****...there was nothing behind it.

Then I'd get used to 'living' alone because no-one will want to play with you if you have that sort of attitude....
And using a pick is wrong how?
Yes, but not for the reasons you think!
I wonder which guy in the band posted that video on you tube?
The bored guitar players, the drummer or the screamer?

Rakie
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to...
There lots of good heavy metal / Death metal out there. Maybe try some Necrophagist ? or The Faceless.
Necrophagist
Im sure a lot of you wont like it.

Wow, arrogant and condescending all in one breath - great job there.
I don't play with a pick. It's a limitation I have. Pro's in the rock and roll world all seem to agree that pick is a legitimate style for playing bass. Good rock players should be able to play with fingers and pick. There is nothing wrong with playing with a pick. In many styles, it fits the music better and is a preferred style.
Well, I'm not alphamale and I'm a bit older - so my example is a bit dated - but Cliff Burton is a killer bass player who played metal. If you think you can "dissect his technique to nothing" I'd love to hear you give it a shot.

As somebody else said, yes - this is comedy - but not for the reasons you think. (I'm not laughing with you - I'll leave it at that
)
If I remember about 50 years ago many people reacted to the Beatles much the same as you're reacting to these guys. Same goes with Metallica about 25 years ago.
you need to get in that band and make those mislead lambs repent
...lol!
and tycobb73, i agree that the Beatles and Metallica weren't exactly greeted with open arms when they first came out and i realise that this kinda music is quite popular nowadays, but still.......You're comparing these guys to those 2 great bands?

Wow, Jacohead, thanks for reminding me how close minded and ignorant musicians can be.
Rakie posted a video of a Necrophagist song, please please do me a huge favor, and post up a video of you playing along, and then afterwards, if you could write a 12 page report of how easy it was, I'd appreciate it.
Have it on my desk by Tuesday, along with your TPS reports... also, could you not make generalizations about an entire genre in the future? I don't assume all jazz is elevator music, if you could just not assume all metal is some tubby kid making pig sounds, that would be great, thaaaankks.
