Slog It Blog It. Get Out Of Bed & See Compressorhead!




The Ramones were a punk band, but German band Compressorhead is more metal than metal. Meet the heaviest metal band in the world. Its members are all robots.



On drums, we have the mohawked Stickboy. He has an advantage that most musicians never had which is an extra pair of arms.



On lead guitar, there is Fingers. He has 78 fingers. Using hydraulic actuators and string manipulators, Fingers can play faster than 10 humans and with his robo-skull face and cowboy boots he's well cool.



On bass is Bones. He has the regulation human number of fingers and arms, but his head looks like an alien from outer space.



Watch the video below to see Compressorhead take on an instrumental version of "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones. 



Beats Metal Mickey anyday!


Have a super Saturday all and next time you re-cycle those tin can????????????

  32. Hi Ho Let's Go! They're piling in the back seat / generated steam heat.

    And then there's my fave line:
    Shoot 'em in the back now / what they want, I don't know / I'm all revved up and ready to go

    Heh heh. Great song and the robots do a great job.

  33. Bet they can spell better than Joey Ramone too

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lol... how weird... kinda cool too I guess. Speaking of non-living musicians, this reminds me of something that you might find interesting. Have you ever heard of Hatsune Miku? She's a japanese computer generated anime hologram pop star. People will pay money to see her "live" in concert and stuff. Check out this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhYaX01NOfA

  35. They play great but who sings?

    ReplyDelete
  36. LOL but you just gotta have the vocals with any Ramones song.

    ReplyDelete
  37. That's amazing! I agree with others--they need a vocalist. :-)
