I honor of the passing of the great Chuck Berry, today's honorary Metal Track is Johnny B. Goode off  of his 1958 album Chuck Berry is on Top. This track predates metal but it was a major influence on rock music and every genre that would come after it.

Marvin Berry then calls his cousin Chuck and holds up the phone saying this is that new sound he was looking for.

Today's Metal Track is a brand new video by Mastodon that just came out today. This is Show Yourself off of their upcoming album Emperor of Sand.

This super catchy song is accompanied by a hilarious video where the Grim Reaper from Bill and Ted tries to win a hearse by killing the members of Mastodon. He fails numerous times, falling for lookalikes before scoring the big kill with the banana peel. According to the comments, the band picked musicians from their home town of Atlanta to play their lookalikes.

Comedian Brian Posehn makes a cameo appearance as he has in numerous metal videos. Is it fair to call him the Alicia Silverstone or Tawny Kitaen of Metal?

Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Dystopia by Megadeth

Today's Metal Track is Dystopia by Grammy Award winners Megadeth. Finally, with this track, the guys picked up their first Grammy last week for Best Metal Performance. It only took them 12 tries.

Of course the Grammys managed to flub it up by having the house band play Metallica's Master of Puppets instead of a Megadeth song. Mustaine didn't even notice until someone told him and he took it in stride and joked about it in the end.
