The Very Best of YouTube Headbanging
It’s been a hell of a week for me, between my soul-crushing day job and busily planning for my birthday (I’m turning 25 on the 18th!!!), so I wanted to do a quick, JWZ–style video rundown of one of my most favorite ways of burning off frustration: headbanging.
There’s some pretty bad music on some of these, but that’s what you get when you take a whirlwind tour of YouTube! I highly recommend playing them all at once and scrolling up and down furiously for maximum metal intensity.
You’re never too old to thrash your head around…
…or too young…
…or too drunk…
…or too sleepy.
Robots (this one’s called Shimon and it plays the marimba!) can do it…
…and hordes of apparently radioactive bunnies…
…and Santas (if you were good this year).
Elephants actually have good rhythm, better than mine, and are known to dance and, surprise, headbang.
Cats can, too, but they look epileptic…
…and birds, some species of which are totally into dancing and rhythm!
This one is my favorite, there’s a guy in a Speedo building a fire while his sidekick windmills like a crazy man in the background.
Don’t forget to get it right and avoid hurting yourself like an overzealous dork (that is to say, don’t be me!). Be back next week with some real content!

I almost had to change my underwear after Death Metal Rooster vs. Headbanging Cockatoo, but I have to agree with you that the last one is the best. Camping is so METAL!
