Metal Trivia Ep. 1 (Play Along) 

I didn't do so well the first time but after watching it a second time, I absolutely crushed it!

Instant metalhead card revocation for not knowing Iron Maiden's mascot is named Eddie.

Austin's struggle on the first question just hurt me

Johnathan Davis's mic stand was designed by H.R. Giger the same dude that invented the xenomorph design. Just a extra bit of trivia on that one.

The horns thing with Gene Simmons is extra funny when you know that his argument is that he used the horns in the artwork for Love Gun--which was an original work done by someone the fuck else.

2:13 that little side eye when he said “that guy is called the trooper” 😂

As a feral fan of MCR watching Dickey find out MCR lore made me laugh hysterically.

I remember Skinny Puppy being very mad when they found out their music was being used for torture in that place. Love that band though, I just saw the hometown show of their final tour last weekend

Popularized was the right word. Coven used the horns first, but they weren't very well known, so it didn't catch on till Dio.

Fun fact so with the guy Amy married they actual grew up together, were high school friends, the song bring me to life was about him.

I’m going to be picky and point out that both black metal and Viking metal are from Sweden because both were pioneered by the same artist (Bathory/Quarthon). Second Wave BM was Norway (Mayhem, Darkthrone, Immortal, Burzum, etc).

Thank you DickeyDines for making me feel like a metal mastermind 😅

Blackie Lawless also has a very cool mic stand he calls Elvis and it’s like a spine formed into motorcycle handles with a skull

The Gene Simmons brief description was gold 😅😂

10:34 they played St. Anger on loop. 😂 Edit: I commented this before I saw Jared say that. Lol

It's worth mentioning with the metal horns one that there's a much lesser known band called Coven who also claim to have created the metal horns. Supposedly the lead singer was in the occult, and that was their symbol before any band used it, although a lot of this is just conjecture.

Megadeth's "mascot"s name is Vic Rattlehead

I remember reading an article in metal hammer about a band called Coven(iirc) and the lead claimed to have done the devil symbol first and it was a witch thing that got her ostracised from other witches because she did it publicly.

Every metalhead HAS to know the first one. 🤦🏼‍♂

Two facts about "The Black Album": 1. It has a real name, it's called "Metallica" 2. When Metallica last re-released that album, most of the proceeds went to a charity helping victims of a German flooding catastrophe.

Thx for making my lunch break more bearable fellas! 🤘

I just love Austin, he has such a " best friend" vibe

You guys always make my week with your content. Keep up the great work! 🤘😎🎸🤘

I love watching this channel. Keep up the good work, guys!

Another great episode bois! Keep em coming!

Austin... i thought that you where kidding on the first question, about Eddie..... you broke my heart....

Me yelling “MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE” before he even finishes the question

Always a good time when there is new dickeydines!

Thank you, guys. Great show.

That song MCR dropped a couple years ago, references Way being there that day

LOVED IT! WE WANT MORE!!!

This was great fun!

Love this!

Enjoyed the video! Y’all should do one where you find crazy show stories from local shows and guess which state it was in!

As Jared drums with two hands........lol.

The Nothing More thing is sick! It's basically a percussion/dubstep machine on rockers.

Not me screaming at the TV IRON MAIDEN

I love that a lot of these questions are really easy ones that Austin somehow still doesn’t know lol.

This was great

"Uhgm, my dads buddies band" "Found his arm?!"

Amy marrying her therapist (if true!) wouldn't be a HIPAA violation, because that covers doctor-patient confidentiality. It COULD be a hippocratic oath violation, which is a set of general ethics but doesn't cover doctor-patient power dynamics. Despite their similar sounding names, the two aren't related.

Them not knowing Eddie hurt my soul 😂

All these questions are so easy! got them all right.

Your devil horns question, gave me an idea for a horror movie. It’s metal but is a mix of it follows, trick or treat, Jennifer’s body and disneys the big green. Different people going to different concerts and not following proper concert behavior. So dying off, one by one, possible band mascots seeming very real depending on what concert they’re at and which bands agree to be in the movie. Ears bleeding, violent drumstick usage, and pyrotechnics all ensue. But by the end maybe they were all in the same band originally or pissed off the wrong satanic band and had a curse on them. I’d definitely watch

I absolutely love trivia and metal and you guys so of course I watched the entire video eating 3 meatball and mozzarella hot pockets

Metal Trivium

Chris Motionless and Spencer Charnas also have custom mic stands. It really does add a nice flair to a live show

Fun stuff guys! 🙂

It would be cool to find out if the Rick Allen called up the drummer of ghost in side to give him some supportive advice, considering they were in a similar accident and both probably thought they'd never play the drums again.

Not through yet but at number 4, 4/4. Another trivia about Jonathans Davis' mic stand, designed by HR Giger - the man that designed Alien/Xenomorphs and the architecture of the alien derelict vessel. Let's see how many I get right at the end 🤣. 9/10 at the end. Did not get Amy Lee. And I admit, My Checmical Romance was a complete guess and the Def Leppard one was mostly "what's most likely to have happened" sort of guess. Pat myelf on the back, not as terribad as I thought I was gonna be 🤣.

I love these guys

Actually way more gnarly, Rick Allens (def leppard drummer) arm got tangled in the seatbelt somehow, therefore Rick himself got ejected out of the car and his arm stayed in it

Noice!!!! Got all of them right!

badass!! Got all those right 😊

Angus doesn't do Devil horns with one hand. He forms devil horns with the pointer fingers of both hands held up on either side of his head.

too easy! haha good episode

Also in regards to the mcr 911 question. Apparently he saw the attack happen and in the same day he wrote angels and turnstiles!

Another cool mic stand was King Diamond’s which was two bones crossed

Coming from an Italian family, the horns is an old symbol that goes way back, giving credence to the Dio-grandma story. Gene Simmons is always a businessman first, so it's not unreasonable to think he tried to make it his own to grow the brand

5:55 you guys haven’t watched the animated film Yellow Submarine by The Beatles. I’m not saying it was them, just saying it came out in 1968, so it had to be a thing. And no, I haven’t watched it long time ago and just remembering it wrong, I watched it a month ago and it struck me, because I thought Dio too. Then again, Ronnie Dio’s career goes all the way back in the late 50s, though not nearly as big at that point.

This whole episode reminded me of one of my favorite jokes: Q: What has nine arms and sucks? A: Def Leppard

Man, you guys are young. These questions are common knowledge for people my age. Then again, I could probably not answer any questions about the current bands you listen to.

Eddie the head, Vic Rattlehead and Henry are pretty much as iconic as band "mascots" go. Priest never really had a mascot other than that cross thingy.

More of this!

Dickey looking more like a dad every time I see him

King Diamond also has his own signature mic stand too

Regarding the Guantanamo Bay tortures, Israel started doing that to Hamas terrorists who got caught, but instead of metal ot was a children show theme song, the same one over and over and over again lol The show in question is called "Menny The Sprinkler Man". Menny the sprinkler man himself said in an interview "I tortured so many parents throughout the years with that song, but never imagined it's gonna be used to torture Hamas terrorists" XD

A local band here in PA called the suicide puppets have mic stands that are shotguns with the barrel pointing to their mouths as they sing in the mics

I like this. More metal trivia.

Not sure why he'd know any of these answers if all he cares for is Metal Core.

jokes on you, I play along to all of these regardless if it's in the title or not

Every time one of them said Dio I said in my head “za warudo”

10:21 I was thinking of gol goroth the grey the whole time. Still a banger to this day

Don't get me wrong. I love KISS. Got to see them live in the late 90s. Easily one of the best shows I've ever seen (and I've seen a ton!). But man, Gene Simmons is SO full of himself! I'm surprised he hasn't claimed that he invented oxygen yet!

I fucking crushed this I feel so chuffed with myself haha

Dickey had me screaming at the screen when he didnt know right away. I have issues!!!!!!!

8:48 Reminds me of the dude who requested to eat a bible as his last meal

6:47 “Sweden is Viking" Um, actually... Bathory is considered the first viking metal band (from Sweden, yes), but most of the early viking metal bands were from Norway. Later, with bands like Amon Amarth, there was a Swedish trend. The majority are now both Norwegian or Swedish, but really they are from all over Europe, and I think even an Australian band or two.

I feel like jared and i watched vh1 on the weekends back in elementary school 😂😂

I missed 3. A lot were luck and educated guesses. Word up my seabiscuits

Wow question number one. lol best mascot ever

Now check out Gerard doing black metal vocals in Matt heafy's side project

Love me some Dunk and Krunk first thing in the morning

Not metal, but Steven Tyler had a kind of iconic mic stand with all of the scarfs hanging off of it.

Watching this while drinking a monster on the bus

Maiden fan here: Eddie is everything you make him to be. He's also the puppetmaster controlling the devil on Number of the beast, the murderer in Killers. He's a cyborg on Somewhere in time. He's the wickerman, he's a fucking tree for Fear of the Dark. On a Live cover he's even Steve Harris. He's a pilot on Aces High, and a samurai on their newest album.

I only missed 3, so I’m satisfied lol

Johnathan Davis's mic stand was actually made by HR Giger.

3:23 he may be thinking of The Trooper IPA which has Eddie on the front

Austin needs to do this for Jared in the next video.... This was pretty funny. 😂

The audio is sounding much better today! 💯

Fun fact the rock on hand sign is in the novel dracula and it’s a ward against evil i think

Common misconception about the metal horns. Coven was the first band in rock to use the metal horns. Check the back cover of their 1969 record for Witchcraft destroys minds, then look up when RJD started doing it. 🤘

Jared's smirk when he says Iron maiden is "The Trooper"

Austin doesn't know Skinny Puppy?! get that man some Too Dark Park now!

1. Iron Maiden 2. Dio 3.Sweden 4.Jonathan Davis - but i thought that was just from Aliens. lol 5. no idea 6.no idea 7. car accident - just guessing 8. black album 9. no idea 10 no idea Bob Rock produced the black album and i remember reading that it still outsold Megadeths Dystopia album the week it was released. Poor Dave

Dio started the devil horns when he was in Black Sabbath as his signature hand gesture because Ozzy did the peace sign. His grandmother actually did the gesture to anyone who gave them a dirty look, it's to ward away the evil eye.

The multiverse is indeed real Austin

I can’t believe I got most of them right is except for the Guantánamo Bay one lol

KEILLEN ALLITH REFERENCE DETECTED AT 10:22. SECOND ALBUM CONFIRMED
