Why Heavy Metal is Great Children's Music



The Thunderlords bill themselves as the first heavy metal band for kids. Actually, I believe that honour goes to Kids Can Rock and Roll. I should know, as i was one of the unfortunate kids who happened to watch them every weekend. Thus, I will amend this inaccuracy by saying that The Thunderlords are the world's first good heavy metal band, and this little advert does not do them justice.


What would happen if The Wiggles met Rob Zombie backstage at a Gwar concert and decided to form a band together? I'm not really sure, but I'd bet they would sound a lot like The Thunderlords! The Thunderlords play loud, heavy music with goofy, fun lyrics that everyone can enjoy. Except those looking for some peace and quiet. Warning: This is not the album you want to play at naptime

Yes, the description of The Wiggles meeting Rob Zombie at a Gwar concert is accurate. What they do not mention is just so damn awesome they actually are. This is the kind of music I wish was made when I was a kid. Thankfully, they have a music video for your own perusal.
