Mad Skillz Beatboxer Ball-Zee

This guy’s just to good, he sounds like he’s swallowed the band Pendulum whole and has them trapped inside his vocal chords. If the band has gone missing recently and their manager is worried about their disappearance then inside this guy might be the first place he would want to look. I’m pretty sure human [...]

Aqua’s Barbie Girl (Metal version) By Victor de Andres

Barbie Girl is a pretty ear-offending track however you come at it, but if there was going to be a version that was at least tolerable, this is it. This guy shreds the crap out of it and turns it from a sickly Euro dance piece of abominable lameness into devil-horns-in-the-air rawk awesomeness. Try and [...]
