...And now time for something completely different in the words of the Monty Python comedy troop.Heavy Metal finds its roots partly from the English (that's Great Britain for you confused uneducated tossers and wanker out there!) scene of the 1970's.
Nothing says England quite like the show Dr. Who, a Sci-Fi show that is actually the longest running of its kind in history, it started on my birthday in 1963 (bonus points if you can figure out my birthday, little hint Kennedy's assassination anniversary is the day before) and has had 10 incarnations of the character known as "The Doctor" thus far.
The basic premise is this, um...freaking watch it then you'll know won't you.
Dr. Who is so ingrained in the public consciousness now, particularily in Britain that it does in fact bleed over into Heavy Metal somewhat, for example Dani Filth collects the signature antagonist's of the show the Daleks. (the pepper shaker blokes shown above below the logo)
As any community would, we in the Heavy Metal Horns Held High community better known as the association of guys you don't sit next to on the bus because we will eat your face, have taken it upon themselves to make Dr. Who's main theme that much more METAL!
I have chosen the two best candidates I could find courtesy of YouTube, both are great but only one should prevail, so make your pick and post it in the comments. Until then keep the horns high and EXTERMINATE! (Dr. Who fans will get that one)
Dr. Who Heavy Metal Theme #1
Dr. Who Heavy Metal Theme #2
They're both awesome covers of the theme, but I think #2 is better. It uses the show opening. The first one was a fair bit longer than the origianl opening theme.
