You may recognize Brian Posehn from shows on TV like The Sarah Silverman Show and Just Shoot Me. I always knew the man was funny, but I never knew he was also a lyrical genius.

In this hilarious music video titled “Metal By Numbers” he shows you how easy it is to do be a metal artist these days. “Even a retard could do it!”

If Brian’s band mates look familiar, that’s because they are from actual metal bands. The guitarist is Scott Ian (from Anthrax), the drummer is John Tempesta (from The Cult), the bassist is Joey Vera (from Armored Saint) and the lead guitarist is Jonathan Donais (from Shadows Fall).

Just recently, Brian confirmed that he is working on some new music. Hopefully we’ll see a sequel to this masterpiece before the year ends. That being said, I could do without another half-naked scene.
