'Black Metal Street Performer' Featuring Comedian DAVE HILL (Video)

August 12, 2015

Comedian Dave Hill recently headed to Times Square in New York City to school mofos on "Trve Norwegian Black Metal." A two-minute clip capturing the adventure can be seen below.

Hill last year co-starred alongside former PANTERA and current DOWN singer Philip Anselmo in the "Karate Kid"-inspired "Metal Grasshopper" web series, in which weenie-turned-metalhead Hill endures Anselmo's constant berating and ridiculous feats of metal strength.

"I met [Anselmo] years ago, which I wouldn't expect him to remember, and he didn't remember — he would've been at the peak of 'having a lot of fun' — but years ago I was backstage in Cleveland with him, and I was under the impression that most people are terrified of him," Hill told BestOfNewOrleans.com. "Even though he was very friendly and laughing, he's this guy who onstage screams his balls off."

Hill's previous metal-as-comedy stunts include "The Black Metal Dialogues", in which Hill had long email conversations with actual black metal musicians. Hill also is the author of 2012's "Tasteful Nudes: ... And Other Misguided Attempts At Personal Growth And Validation" and is the host and brain behind frequent Upright Citizens Brigade variety show "The Dave Hill Explosion" as well as WFMU's "The Goddam Dave Hill Show". Hill's band, the power-pop outfit VALLEY LODGE, provides the theme ("Go") for "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver" on HBO.
