Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



We here at Destructoid love our death metal. We also love our death metal that criticizes faulty Xbox 360 consoles, which is why we declare this video, Red Ring of Death by (snicker) Distended Warranty to be made of a win most epic. By "we" of course, I mean "I". I declare this video an epic win. Maybe it's just because the singer reminds me of WCW/TNA wrestler Sting but I actually find this one quite amusing in a ... twisted way.

Make of it what you will, my children. Make of it what you will.

[Thanks to PS3 Owner (seriously, is that your handle?) and EternalDarkWing for the tip!]

*blurry thought pattern*

How is this death metal? Isn't death metal usually someone screaming in a screech and/or gritty voice and/or grunting unintelligible words repeatedly? I mean, that's what I think of when I hear the phrase "death metal". This just sounds like metal to me.

By the way, the singer looks like Kevin Pereira and kind of sounds like him too. I'd say it's him, especially makes sense since he's one of the hosts of Attack of the Show.

Chris Taran = Instant Lose for misspelling "lose" with "loose".

Yeah, the singer is Kevin Pereira - too bad it looks like someone with Parkinson's applied his make-up.

Yeesh.

@ Chris Taran

Don't be hard of yourself, "G4 = Instant Loose" works too, because they're whores who sold the gaming community out to be more like shitty ass Spike. I'm sure they're pretty "loose" by now. ;)

You know, despite my love for Playstation 3, im going to have to go out on a whim here. I thought that the anti-PS3 song that went to the tune of "how to save a life" was the most hilarious thing ive ever heard. I may have disagreed with it, but hey. It was great. This is ok. We dont need a song to signify how poorly crafted the Xbox 360 is...

He got the ring on his head wrong.
It's supposed to be the upper right ring missing.
Other than that, quite a good video.

omg LOOOOOOOOOLLL buwaahahhahahaa

im right now in PR n my frnds play in a rock band and own a RRlol60, when they saw this they laughed their asses off lol. Cuz when I arrived they said they were going to make a campfire with the 360, luckily i told them they can get it fix through warranty.

You would be surprised how many people in the world dont know about the warranty.

That was...unbearable.
Also, it's less likely to brick if you don't have it on a power surger( I believe you said that Sterling). It worked for me at least. haven't seen the three flashing bars since I did it. It's a pain in the ass though since I have to unplug all my other systems to play it.

@Trevor McGee
well said.

This song feels better than scratching a misquito bite on the tip of my cock.

Not death metal, parody or otherwise. The vocals sound like hard rock, the instrumentation is very much nu-metal, the look reminds me of black metal influenced emo. Typical parody completely misunderstanding what it aims to satirise, ho hum.

The reason nobody ever satirises death metal properly, is because no-one but those who take it seriously can play it.

(Note, endorsement of this style not included, I wasted years playing this style...)

Haha, NEDM.

@Morrius, nice job. Derek Roddy is insane. I never heard of Hate Eternal until I saw them live with Arch Enemy at a local show a while back, needless to say they kicked my ass. Though I'm more of a melo-death fan myself (a la Dark Tranquillity and old In Flames).
