Are you metal enough for Skullcandy's Metallica headphones?

Am I metal enough to wear these Skullcandy Metallica headphones? Nay. Though my hair is square cut in a black helmet, and though a MegaDeth t-shirt stretches taut across my belly; though my boots weigh forty pounds, and though I am prone to sticking out my tongue and waggling them between the twin digital horns of my mano cornuta; though I practice the dark preachings of Aleister Crowley and though I use "Metallica!" as an ejaculation signifying the utmost euphoria of dudicalness: I am not worthy.

But at least I can take comfort in the fact that Lars Ulrich isn't metal enough to wear Skullcandy's Metallica headphones either.

Flaming vampire skull yin-yangs?

I believe I doodled that in my 7th grade note book.

Skull candy headphones are pretty nice for the price though.

I guess you have to accept the good and the bad in every...uh...flaming vampire skull, right folks?

(Cue the music Charlie, I'm losing 'em!)

James Hetfield: Dude! They're stealing our albumz! How am I supposed to be able to afford my hip replacement!?

Lars Ulrich: We should make headphones! They can't download those, and everybody will use them to listen to our stolen album!

Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield: DUDE!!

"Lars Ulrich isn't metal enough to PLAY in Metallica either."

I really, really wish we could sue Metallica for fraud for posing as a Heavy Metal band.

If John Fogerty's publisher can sue him for plagiarizing himself, I'm sure a crafty lawyer could bring suit against Metallica for misrepresenting themselves.

Do you post every press release you get??? open your ears, demo the skull candies. truth is there are soooo many better sets of headphones out there.

atleast demo a pair of sennheisers, grado, or akg's before splurging on some pair with a cool name and fancy design.

If you're trying to show-up my Sennheiser Slayer cans you're going to need to do better than that.

They're just pretty looking. I listened to a demo pair at the store and they tout some kind of awesome base system. The bass being spit out of these headphones sounded like whacking a wooden spoon against a metal pot.

Don't waste your money on these.

I'm waiting for the Dethklok DethPhones, the world's most brutal personal sound system.
