Hair-Metal: The Revenge

Last week saw the return of the Kerrang awards, with the usual shocks, surprises, drunkenness and Metallica.

Awards were also picked up by the more familiar faces of:

“Perfect! Right, we also need something like dark and black and evil and that…”

“Bats?”

“Genius! Cancer Bats!”
