Trump Calls Obama To Talk Inauguration Guests
Slayer - The Antichrist

A whole bunch of appropriate songs out there.
I'd love to see a lot of bands playing their signature songs.

The Trooper Believer
This clip from Spinal Tap is apropos, because it's a lampoon of the Monkees video, but they were also lampooning Maiden, Sabbath, Priest, Saxon, Randy Rhoads, Ian Gillan, etc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-BYzaDwNoE
This is an interesting interview with Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, because it addresses a rumor that they had walked out of Spinal Tap because they believed the band was making fun of them (which was untrue): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1022475/He-aint-heavy-hes-captain----Iron-Maiden-rocker.html
It's important to note that the members of Spinal Tap were all musicians and played their own music from the get go, whereas the Monkees only recorded their vocals and had other people play the instruments. Of course, in time the Monkees learned to play, even if there was so much wasted recording time they had to bring in other musicians to fill in. They eventually improved enough to play live shows with their own instrument play.
I gotta do my best to defend the Monkees, Iron Maiden, and Spinal Tap, because they ARE all great acts and entertainers. I say ARE because, as of 2016, The Monkees, Iron Maiden, AND Spinal Tap are all touring to this day. Not together, of course. That would be too awesome.
MASHUP - Beat It, Trooper! [Iron Maiden vs. Michael Jackson]
I love Iron Maiden and mary jane! Oh, Michael Jackson. Yeah, he's cool. (I was just wearing my Trooper shirt last night!)
bill burr- the worst i ever bombed story
Kind of reminds me of this band I was in a couple years back. We were booked to play this hipster library in L.A. (Yes, these things exist) and our band's singer/leader is stammering his intros and not playing to whatever crowd is actually there, the guitars are out of tune even though we spent hours preparing and tuning, and the drums are drowning out the rest of the instruments.
God, the acoustics in that place, and the look on the face of the person who booked us. Horror. Utter horror. I was wearing an Iron Maiden shirt with hair down to my tits, a look of insanity, me-against-the-world on my face.
Someone in the audience was like, "What the fuck is this shit?"
But I'm not Bill Burr and I' NOT in any mood to admit my faults, I just came back from 2 drinks over my limit at a bar around the corner, and I'm fucking done with hipsters. Suddenly our FOLK band goes into overdrive and becomes a punk band. I start smashing the drums with my sticks faster and faster, letting the rest of the band catch up, "Fuuuuuck you. You want some rock n' roll? Here's some fucking rock n' roll." Our singer is timid at first, but the guitarist is an anarchist and looks at me like, "YEAH! Let's do this!" Adrenaline and alcohol made it so I didn't even need to know what I was doing any more. We just played the same songs except faster and angrier.
People are disgusted by the sound and the entire place empties.
Later on as we're packing up, the guy I told to fuck off comes up to us with his pals and starts harassing us. Turns out, he was the guitarist of the band that was on before us. And everyone loved this guy. I stared at him and just said, "Fuck you." And he immediately replied, "No, fuck you!" I don't remember how many fucks were given but it was quite the juvenile display. We just packed up and left with "fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck" in our wake.
As we're walking to the van our band leader says, "Well, that went okay I think, you know given the circumstances, I think that showed off our energy."
The Joy of the Guitar Riff
Nice watch but very pop centric. SO many huge riffs never even got a mention. Case in point:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBetudbtRto
My first real introduction to metal when they charts were full of Abba and Boney M.
It's seems weird this is a BBC documentary yet you're as likely to hear of Iron Maiden's achievement's as you to hear of The Prodigy.
Story of the discussion of the riff? They jump from Nivarna (1991) to 7 nation army (2003). But somehow they missed the fact The Prodigy went from a underground dance ground to a rock festival headliner on the basis of this riff back in '95: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l62UTsRQ6qY
Yes "walk this way" was a rap/rock crossover - but this is afaik the first proper metal/underground dance mashup. I honestly hate the fact The Prodigy never get the credit they deserve for bringing so much.
Final point - this UK documentary goes from Nivarna to White Stripes and ignores:

25 Most Brutal Torture Techniques Ever Devised
A lot of these (the Iron Maiden in particular) were actually just made up in later years by people who wanted to do exactly what we're doing now.
There definitely was torture in the middle ages, but they generally weren't quite as gleefully inventive about it.
Kids React To Walkman (Portable Cassette Players)
yep, my backpack in highschool.... 1 or 2 schoolbooks, whatever fiction I was reading and about 20 cassettes 'cos you never know if today was a Slayer day, an Iron Maiden day or a Sepultura day (I listened to a lot of metal in my teens)
"I'm just thinking about how many cassettes you would need"
*sigh* too true!
Teens React to....Nirvana
I really wasn't a fan of Nirvana when they came out. I was heavily into metal (Iron Maiden, Metallica, Sepultura, Slayer, etc) and Nirvana just sounded like a boring watered down version to me.
It wasn't until much later that I realised I was looking at it from the wrong direction. Nirvana were a pop band who used heavy guitars, and that was kinda cool.
I don't believe we will ever see another band with their influence again. Mainstream music today is much more fragmented, so even if someone came along and radically altered hip-hop, for example, the influence would be felt far less in other genres.
