Ya boy's playing his uncle's skeleton. He can put his hair up however he wants.

Disrespectful and attention seeking. His uncle donated it to science.

This guy is a known troll. Has various identities. Likes the long con. Has world records under another name for long nails and a tall hat.

Damn that's metal

I feel bad for the uncle that this guy just got a load of cheap ass parts and stuck them to his body. At least splash out on a decent neck

How do you even hit the frets inside the rib cage

Last podcast on the left did an interview with the guy. It's very interesting.

Should’ve been a xylophone player.

yeah but, you should have seen his uncle before.

Yuck.

I hope his uncles was okay with it

He was dying to get into music.

Is that legal?

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

To play Black metal?

4 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Desecration of human remains. Nope it is not legal. I guess if some of the relatives didnt approve and thought it was disrespectful ...

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 4

Who cares I would much rather have this happen to my remains than have them buried in an overpriced wooden box.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Yes.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Glad they pointed out the uncle was dead, would be weird otherwise.

Well, he's dead *now*

His living uncle, attending the concert:

But would have been more metal. (sorry)

You mean more meatal, right?

Not like he was using it

With the speed medical science goes I think it's not too far in the future when you will be able to replace all your bones with titanium

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

For diseases that attack the bones and stuff like that

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is he? He seems fine to me.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That is without a doubt the most impractical guitar I've seen in my life...

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

But it IS a guitar!

4 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

It is most certainly NOT guitar nor any other string instrument... at least not without strings.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

It makes me pretty upset that it has a telecaster bridge pickup for the electronics. Not very metal

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yeah, don't get me started on the choice of hardware and the shoddy workmanship...

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Agreed. Plus, no access above 13th fret.

For those thinking how hard it is to get medical remains in the US, the uncle died in Greece 20+ yrs ago. Had remains shipped to USA.

4 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 0

I believe it's illegal to use human remains in this way in many countries.

4 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

Laws are suggestions. If you don't get caught it's not illegal.

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

In US, laws vary by state, but most permit only 3 options for disposal of human remains - burial, cremation, donation to science.

4 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

Plus there's the sticky issue of cleaning the flesh off the bones.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 2

Not really. https://youtu.be/Np0hJGKrIWg

Does that apply to implants? Dad and I were discussing making stuff out of his titanium kneecaps.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think they do give you those if you want them.

After a second hip replacement, Lord Burghley had his original metal femur part made into a hood ornament. Doubt those would be legal today

"Black" Metal... Sure... That hair, he's either playing heavy glam rock, obscure glam thrash metal or old school 80s heavy metal.

Probably a party wig.

Yet he has a guitar made of human bones.

Death-, gore- or grindcore metal then?

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Counterpoint - Party Cannon.

4 years ago | Likes 65 Dislikes 1

They look like the music they play, all grindcore bands kinda look like this, minus the logo.

4 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 1

Yeah that’s death or grind. Definitely not BM

He should learn to play the guitar.. 0% brutal. 100% cringe.

Everybody knows true black metalheads have afro hair.

The most metal hairstyle possible is the skullet.

Are you seriously trying to question the metal chops of the guy with the human skeleton guitar? I think he's got the cred to wear his hair

4 years ago | Likes 48 Dislikes 4

in pig tail braids and still be more metal than all of us

4 years ago | Likes 22 Dislikes 2

He may be the most metal guy that ever lived. That does not mean he plays black metal.

4 years ago | Likes 16 Dislikes 3

I s'pose it doesn't but the idea that his hair is the determining factor is ridiculous

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

It's the opposite. He got the look because it goes with the music. He'd look like different if he played another genre... Like black metal.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Definitely a red flag though, his music may be black metal but it's goofy. https://youtu.be/fYo0_sxRlTQ
