Holy Metal Balls

Ah thank you faceless people of the Internet realm who bother to scan Japanese manga and translate them. You make me truly happy.

Detroit Metal City (DMC)
: Negishi Soichi is a pansy and a loser with a haircut resembling a dick head and despite wanting to make and sell his shitty pop music, he can only gain popularity as Johannes Krauser II, the lead singer of a death metal band known as DMC.



What makes this manga an enjoyable read is that not many people outside the band knows that he is Krauser II and he wants to keep it this way. And throughout the story, Negishi is being this mild mannered boy and he believes that he wants to be true to himself even if he is more popular in DMC. Despite all this, like a real life loser, he can't help but get into situations where he is ignored, pushed over, ridiculed and even back stabbed. These are the times when his alter ego, the 'Demon King' kicks in and he will get the courage to say FUCK YOU!!! to the people who stirred his shit.

This story is all about the fucking irony. The world decides your true personality.
Series is ongoing.

Chris V, you should totally check this manga out and here's a video for all of you.

It seems even...


Anyway found this interview online..





There are some crazy fucking fans interviewed here that I don't want to be seen hanging out with but there are really some things I myself am guilty of. I can't seem to say 'Slayer' in a normal voice. I must actually scream the word out like I have been possessed by Linda Blair's demon. And when I am walking past a guy in a Slayer T-shirt, I will tell him that is a damn nice tee. I cannot help it. If I don't say it, my throat gets all irritated and itchy and I will feel like I need to take a shit.

Later on, they actually interview Kirk Hammett. For some reason he beats around the bush but all he is trying to say is Slayer fans are more hardcore than Metallica fans. The poor guy. Lars Ulrich must have standing across the room pointing a gun at him.
