Metal Mythos: GRIM REAPER 

He was the best heavy metal vocalist I have ever listened

Also, Rock You To Hell turned out to be one of my favorite albums of the late 80's.

RiMiEg007 Grim Reaper was always one of my favorites. They wrote short, catchy, riffy, heavy songs. I love them.

Nicolas Kennedy It's because they were uggos during the MTV era, when you had to be a pretty boy to be popular

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't Beavis & Buttheads schtick that they're idiots/losers who's to stupid to realize it? They riff on anyone and anything, while missing how they themselves look/act. Or was there more jokes being made that i'm not aware of?

The part in my comment about appearance being irrelevant to a band wasn't a direct reference to Beavis and Butthead making fun of them. Beavis and Butthead's significance was only an infinitesimal modicum of the comment. Heck, I might as well have gained a six-pack from laughing so hard at Beavis and Butthead making of fun of King Diamond in the King Diamond -"The Family Ghost" and Mercyful Fate - "The Bell Witch" music videos. The part about Beavis and Butthead was simply me referring to their comments furthering the echo chamber of people in the '80s who made fun of Grim Reaper for Steve Grimmett's appearance. I hope this clarifies anybody's responses to my first comment.

MrSaywutnow They were toe cheese central, which is what made them worth featuring on B&B. I can comfortably say the younger half of Gen X loved the cheese. We loved mocking it (while stoned out of our gourds, of course). Blame Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Up All Night, though the urge to run commentary in the theater started much sooner. The theater was a lively spot during 1980s horror movies. To all the RU-vid commentators... you're welcome.

Yeah, I couldn't help but laugh my ass off at how ridiculous that KD video was TBH, but I did end up buy his (as well as Merciful Fate's) albums cause the music itself was pretty badass, and Andy Larocque is an outstanding guitarist. Honestly when Mike Judge truly dislikes something they watch, they just change the channel to the next video like they did with Millie Vanilli LOL!

And don't forget WINGER. I remember that back then. You're so right.

THIS. Rap and Pop videos back then were as equally cheesy but they didnt make fun of them. And around this time (1993) Headbangers Ball was almost completely taken over by Alternative bands and MTV stopped playing classic Hard rock/Metal. It was also the same year Atlantic Records dropped all metal bands (Testament, Overkill, Manowar etc ) from their catalogue. Music Industry figured it out that it was easy to make money out of Rap and Techno acts since a guy rapping over a sampled drum beat is cheaper than having 5 musicians in a studio recording a heavy metal album. And if you are a college kid and wanted something different to listen to, you were only allowed to listen to Alternative.which is again a cheaper production than a Heavy Rock act. Grunge didnt kill Metal, Corporate Greed pushed it out of the mainstream in favour of Rap and Techno. Same thing didnt happen in Europe and South America and thats why Metal was still alive in the 90s in those countries.

BUTTHEAD said IS THAT THE COWARDLY LION. when a Metallica video came on showing James lol

I'd like to see one on Helloween.

@Tim Scotty Hall of the Mountain King and Beyond the Doors of the Dark are my favorites

@@Ufphen dungeons are calling kicks ass too

@@Ufphen While I love their 80's power metal stylings, their magnum opus for me will always be Streets: A Rock Opera. I don't even like progressive metal, but that album is a god damn masterpiece.

Hey guys! Joining your campaign.

For sure! I love most of their albums, Power of the Night and Edge of Thorns in particular.

This. Very yes.

How about running wild or helloween

I'm pretty sure he's done one for W.A.S.P.! 😎👍

He's already done one on W.A.S.P.

gemini2012100 look at when the comment is made next time. I hope he does one on dio or led zeppelin

He fought to the last.

Huh?????

Old comment I know,Clive Burr should have been in multiple bands like Mickey Dee.Unfortunately it never happened

What was your band’s name? Anyway I can hear your guys’ music?

To clarify. I knew of - and even listened to - Grim Reaper before. I just never delved into their music properly until cranking out this episode.

Also, i wish their frontman good health and happiness. I'm a busy guy, but if anything, i'm a nice guy at heart.

Caleb Tuper ....

Same here....I still have FNE on cassette tape somewhere in the house:-)

Arthur Fervale Context

He makes Gaahl look professional

Jaco Pastorious got laid?

mike B he got laid out, different kind of laid. And then he died anyway.

Didn't the bassist of Free die of AIDs not too long ago? Lol

learn to sing and then maybe you can be half as good as lemmy

You’re lucky, I always wanted to see them and can’t now. R.I.P. Steve Grimmett.

paid. Learn to spell.

Maybe if people learned to spell in school I wouldn't have to remind people.

暗黒騎士 Ankokukishi ok

Maybe he is not from English speaking country?plus you understood what he said so who cares?

I support this idea.

Oh I gotta hear this story

UNIT #522 Go for it. Let me recommend Dead on Arrival and Night of the Vampire

UNIT #522 Awesome to know your a Metal fan. Love listening to your channel!

Dead on Arrival is my favorite Grim Reaper song. It rules.

That'll be a long video

It'll be the first two hour mythos, which'll be rad. And probably the only Mythos with a definite difference between Razor's age because he'll film the thing in parts over a 2 year period.

austinfailz It'll be his Apocalypse Now.

Yes i've been spreading this all over his videos, but he still didn't move a finger. Black sabbath and venom mythos, would also be awesome

Well he did Motorhead mythos who has 22 albums and saxon also has 22 albums since 2018

Steve looks like he can barely keep a straight face.

Never heard of Beherit. Gonna go look em up

Grapthar's Hebree Hammer I doubt he likes Type O Negative

Nobody likes Type O Negative. Or too much Black Metal. You got Venom, Bathory and well that about does it. The rest of them are complete shit

FallaciousScotsman It's happening to a lot of woke youtubers man. Also your name is not an argument.

FallaciousScotsman It's in mine

Styx isn't showing up to

Make sure you guys are not using Restrictic Mode set it to Off at the botton of the youtube page.

Click the bell if you haven't.

Therion would be so cool.

Queensryche

Do Raz0r even likes Therion?

Ji Cottrill did you check the year this comment was made

Kevin Marks king diamond would be awsome

Voi Vod is trash

Y'all got your wish, he did a Mythos on King Diamond
