Description
Metal bands can be ridiculous, self-absorbed and even downright outrageous. Sometimes, the genre needs to be reminded to have a sense of humor and not take itself so seriously. Sometimes, a band like Metallingus comes along and does just that. Metallingus came about in 1991, when Rocci Cirone (who was in local punk band Nasal Sex at the time with his brother Joe) was drunk enough to talk to Chris Wilder about his idea to do a metal band. Wilder's response: "How about Metallica's first album done by Spinal Tap?" Thus Metallingus was born, taking the absurdity, indulgence and decadence of metal and mixing it with thrash. But make no mistake, even with a sense of humor behind the music, they're no slouches when it comes to playing. Guitarist Steve Corral owns 37 guitars and Wilder played with San Francisco hardcore punk band M.D.C. - Beau Dowling sanjose.comMore Info
