Quantcast



Probably the best use of the meme I've seen in a long, long time, this is a video for the surefire hit game, Cowbell Hero. Wondered how Guitar Hero is going to stand next to the ambitious Rock Band? I think we've just seen the answer right here. That's the most epic thirteen seconds you'll see all day, I guarantee it.
 
Nothing more I can say, really. Just watch the clip if you've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Cowbell Hero
 
[Thanks Caleb and the Cblogzorz]

She is sporting the much rumored WIRELESS frying pan with detachable neck. Unfortunately for her it's going to become lose, the circuit pins will lose contact with the circuit board and the controller will no longer function properly.

Wow.. It is a black day for those who bear my name... I have made the totally unacceptable grammatical failure of saying "lose" when I meant to say "loose".

I'd beg for forgiveness but I don't deserve it.

*weeps even more*

Actually, for those not aware, in rock band's don't fear the reaper, the vocalist plays cowbell by whacking the mic when he's not siging. It could always use more cowbell, but better than nothing like.

Also, video was more amusing than it should have been.

This is from AMV Hell 4. Or rather, AMV Hell 3 part 2. Supposedly the last to be made, but filled with awesome. It even starts by playing AMV hell 3 in its entirety on hyper-speed as the intro.

Yeah, there IS a cowbell in Rock Band like the guy above said. Use the mic when you're not singing and it becomes a cowbell or tambourine.
