Here's something for you motorheads. They're testing to see how much force it takes for this semi trailer to run over a chock.
In my neck of the woods, we have some steep mountain roads which require runaway truck ramps. Here, a driver tests a runaway truck ramp in North Bay, Ontario. One can imagine that if a driver was forced to pull over to do repairs or wait for a tow on one of these steep roads, having a good chock would be essential.
Since I mentioned Motörhead, I'd better play some. Wouldn't want you fiends going riot on me!
Several bands have covered this iconic slab of metal glory. I like Satyricon's cover.
I also enjoy Sepultura's cover. What's not to like?
Hope you liked this little ramble from heavy metal on 18 wheels to heavy metal on guitar, bass, and drums with accompanying gravely vocals!
Addendum:
I left this comment on the Satyricon video. I know I'm wasting my proverbial breath, pissing into the wind, leading a dead horse to water, and trying to talk sense to fools, but it needed to be said.
I should never be surprised at the level of stupidity of You Tube comments. They truly reach a new low. Someone doesn't agree with you? Call them a homo or fag, because being a homosexual is teeotally grody, like ew for shure! Or the comment that you don't like the original version by Motorhead because Lemmy "grosses you out." In other words, you only want to listen to bands that look good to you, which isn't shallow at all.
Being a little older, I remember listening to the original version. Such amazing, hard music could not be ignored, and the lyrics are actually intelligent and thought-provoking. I like a good party song, but I really appreciate something that makes me think. Lemmy may not be the best looking guy in the world, but I don't listen only to music by guys whom I find "hot." I listen to music I find good, period. It could be played by Jabba the Hut and a band of Juiblex, and I would still listen.
This is a great cover. The Sepultura cover is also great. Both Satyricon and Sepultura are true to the spirit of the original song but put their own unique twist on it. That's what makes a great cover.
The original will always rise to the top for me, but that doesn't negate the worth of the newer renditions.
I know this final thought will be ignored and/or ridiculed, because, You Tube, but couldn't we all just listen to and appreciate the music and stop looking for reasons to bandy about schoolyard insults?
