00:00We're doing this thing, Greg. We have, I want to see what you know about metal.
00:05I don't know a lot.
00:06Okay, well, we're going to find out. We've got true or false questions.
00:08I'm going to give you a couple, see how you get on.
00:10Yeah.
00:11You just got to answer true or false, and I'll tell you.
00:13You're talking to a person that's never heard an Iron Maiden record, just to let you know.
00:15Okay, well, don't worry. I'll keep all the Iron Maiden songs.
00:17I'm going to slide that to one side.
00:23The Big Bang was quieter than a Motorhead concert. True or false?
00:28That's false.
00:30No, that's true, because there's no sound in space.
00:32I mean, I don't know. I'm not a scientist, but it is true.
00:35Yes, there's no sound in space.
00:36Apparently, it is true. Let's see what we've got.
00:38In the 1990s, Rob Halford filmed an advert for a paracetamol company where he sang an adapted version of Painkiller,
00:48but it was scrapped after he was removed from Juniper's.
00:52What was that company?
00:53It was Anodin.
00:55Okay, I'm going to go true, because that's ridiculous.
00:58It's false.
00:58It's also false? All right.
00:59It's false. It's completely false.
01:00The band Creed...
01:02Oh, yeah.
01:03They're the world's finest.
01:04Yeah?
01:04Named themselves after their favorite Carl Weathers character.
01:10Their original name was Chubbs Peterson.
01:13Absolutely not.
01:14No way.
01:15Sure?
01:16I'm sure.
01:17I'm sure.
01:17It's obviously false.
01:19Yeah, I was like, no, they're weird Jesus freaks.
01:20There's no way.
01:21They're like, they're saying about the creed of the Lord or something.
01:24The first gold-selling album released on the legendary heavy metal label Roadrunner Records was Typo Negative's Bloody Kisses album.
01:33Oh, no, no way.
01:36It had to have been Sepulchore, right?
01:38It's true.
01:39Damn.
01:39All right.
01:40Good night.
01:40All right.
01:41Good for goth.
01:42In Australia, there is a vegan pig destroyer tribute band called Fig Enjoyer.
01:48I mean, I hope that there's a band called Fig Enjoyer.
01:51There's probably not, but there should be.
01:53I'm going to say no, but should be.
01:55It's false.
01:56Yeah.
01:56It's a shame, but it's false.
01:58No one could know the answers to these.
01:59And the final question.
02:01The finest release by the band, the Dillinger Escape Plan, is calculating infinity.
02:06I'm going to go, my opinion changes on this every couple of years.
02:12What's true or false?
02:13It's factual.
02:14Oh, is that?
02:15I know your opinion on it.
02:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:17I would say it depends on, what I've learned about favorite records is it depends on when
02:22you got into the band, mostly, because I used to argue to death that Justice For All was
02:25Metallica's best record.
02:27I agree with you.
02:27But now, I'm like, I get why someone would pick Master Puppets objectively, not knowing
02:33that I got into Metallica through Justice.
02:35If I had to pick, I'm going to pick Master Puppets for the people.
02:39Feels like you're stalling, by the way.
02:40That's the one.
02:41What's that?
02:41Feels like you're stalling a little bit.
02:43True or false?
02:44I mean, I just can't pick a best, man.
02:45I used to think One of Us is the killer.
02:48And then recently, I've switched to Dissociation, which is nuts, because I know that that's
02:52a very difficult record to listen to.
02:54I think that.
02:55But I think it might be the most artistic record, in a way.
02:58It was just really free.
03:00And the musical shit is nuts, absolutely nuts on it.
03:05But I used to not like our works in hindsight.
03:07But now I listen to that, and I'm like, man, this is a cool record.
03:11So now I can't pick.
03:12But obviously, I got into that band during Calculating Infinity, too.
03:14So I love that record just as much.
03:16I got into one under the running blue.
03:17So that has an actual, for some reason, more special place in my heart than Calculating,
03:24because that was the record that I found out about that.
03:27But I did buy Calculating Infinity the day that it came out.
03:29Wow.
03:29Yeah.
03:30Along with a cat.
03:32Okay.
03:32And I was blasting that record on my way home with this poor cat in a box, you know, next
03:36to me.
03:37Sweet.
03:37The correct answer is irony is a dead scene, by the way.
03:41That's absolutely not true.
03:43And Mike's my, I love Mike, but I don't, that's a collab.
03:48I can't count that as a collab.
03:48Okay, fine.
