Welcome to Ton of Metal, kids. Here you will find a heavy music video posted every Saturday, as well as short (sometimes medium-to-long) commentary on the great bands that I have gone through the pain and disappointment of discovering so you don't have to. Also, every fourth Saturday, I'll post a trip down memory lane that I like to call Flashback, as well as the occasional theme month. I do all the work - all you have to do is subscribe at the bottom, or click in every Saturday and CRANK IT!

Flashback - L7
Times flies, kids: FLASHBACK! In the fifties, "L7" was a slang term used to indicate that a person was "square", which meant straitlaced and uncool, the term coming from the act of touching the thumb of each of one's hands to the forefinger of each of the other's hands to form a square shape. (Try it a couple of ways, and you'll see the "L7.") Anyway, the band L7 was the opposite of uncool; it was METAL. I mean, the ladies' music was actually kinda punk/grunge, but it was also so heavy that it falls pretty squarely into at least the stoner category. But of course, it speaks for itself: let's go with "Freak Magnet" today - CRANK IT!
