Oh, there have been the odd weird team-up over the years between Metal bands/artistes and, shall we say, those from totally different genres? The obvious one to go for would be Lou Reed's collaboration with Metallica, or Aerosmith's teamup with RunDMC, but here at the Playlist of Life we don't like to take the easy or obvious path, so a little Googling unearthed this rather embarassing pairing. Who would have thought that the lead guitarist from one of the dirtiest, loudest, fastest and angriest Thrash Metal bands, one of the "Big Four" themselves, would align himself with rap icons The Beastie Boys?
Kerry King and the Beastie Boys --- No sleep till Brooklyn
When he guested on the song "No sleep till Brooklyn", apparently the script for the video called for Kerry to be thrown offstage by a giant gorilla. In typical Metalhead fashion, he refused: "If anyone's gonna
fucking get thrown off stage it'll be that gorilla!" he snarled. Ah, Kerry, that's why we love ya! Here's the video anyway. For some reason they're all cartoon characters, which is fine, but why Kerry is depicted as a hot chick is somewhat beyond me.
And, worryingly, something of a turn on...
