What bands did you first hear through ‘Beavis and Butthead’?
‘Beavis and Butthead’ should get a ton of credit for expanding the musical taste of a hunch of us! The duo either watched metal and rock videos that MTV either quit playing years earlier, or only played late at night on Headbangers Ball when I was already asleep. They also watched a ton of old 80’s pop videos, most of which I was too young to actually remember when they originally came out, so it was like seeing them for the first time. Even just sticking with metal/industrial genres, I can say for sure that watching B&B was the first time I heard of the following artist:
- Motörhead ‘No Voices in the Sky’
- Pantera ‘This Love’
- NIN ‘Head like a Hole’
- Danzig ‘Mother’
- Black Sabbath ‘Iron Man’
- Megadeath ‘Symphony of Destruction’
- Korn ‘Blind’
- White Zombie ‘Black Sunshine’
- Ministry ‘N.W.O.’
- And of course, the legendary Grim Reaper ‘See You In Hell’
