This is a video of a steel mill producing the world’s longest pieces of rebar (the length seen above isn’t even half as long as it eventually becomes) for use in construction. Or, if you’re playing a survival zombie game like Dead Island, creating makeshift weapons. I’m playing Dead Island
This is a video of musician Andrea Boccarusso performing 25 menacing/evil sounding guitar riffs from songs. How evil were they? I got the goosebumps! And not just because I refuse to turn the heat on until October and it’s 52 degrees in here, but my girlfriend has like six sweatshirts
This is a video of a very hangry woman (I’d argue she’s actually henranged) ranting about how badly she needs to go to Wingstop because she hasn’t eaten all day, which has been turned into a solid power metal ballad by drummer drewonthekit. Of course it doesn’t hurt that the

Because shredding knows no boundaries, this is a video of musician Bernth (previously seen playing an acoustic guitar filled with water) performing his own ‘Banjo Death Shred’ on, well, banjo. It’s like death metal meets Deliverance. Which, just for the record, is not a combo I’d like to run into
Because dream it and (with enough cans and a recycling center paying 5¢ apiece) you can achieve it, this is a video of luthier Burl of Burls Art crafting an all aluminum electric guitar after melting some 38-pounds of aluminum cans (over 1,000) to cast the neck and body. My
