Quantcast



Say hello to the interestingly named Turbonegro in a video sent to us by Christian, who spotted it on German MTV. He submitted the video to us because it contains what he's called a Deathpunk Katamari. Indeed, there is a ball, indeed it rolls around picking stuff up, but is it supposed to be based on the Katamari games at all? Frankly, I don't care in the least, I just wanted an excuse to post my new favorite song and the world's most ridiculous (therefore, awesome) frontman. Got to love a chap who's everso slightly portly but isn't afraid to go shirtless and act as camp and grandiose as Hell, like he's some sort of twisted European Gene Simmons.
 
Whatever deathpunk is, I am now its loyal servant, and you all are too, if you know what's good for you. Seriously, it's a classy video and the song's rather kickass, I love these guys! If ever there was a reason to shed my copious weight, then being able to emulate Hank Von Hell (that's seriously his name in English) would have to be the winner. Just look at him! You know him to be fabulous.

That song is so going to end up on the next Tony Hawk game.

Wow. Deathpunk isn't even a genre, and if it was one, I'd consider it to be one of Impaled Nazarene's side-projects, not a second-rate pop/rock band seen on MTV.

I hope he meant another video that was of German MTV, because ZTV is actually a Swedish music channel - and I'd rather not be refered to as german. :P

I actually saw these guys open for Queens of the Stoneage a few years ago. Everyone gave a collective WTF?

Deathpunk? Where's the death and where's the punk?
Like another one said, a perfect candidate for a Tony Hawk game soundtrack.

I saw these men live at the Leeds Festival a couple of years ago.

They are indeed fabulous, in an incredibly wrong way.

@milhouse

yeah, their selfdestructive deathpunk (they invented that label) are pretty much over, hank doesnt take drugs or shoots bottle rockets from his hairy-butt. try their "ass cobra" record, definetley their best. but i am suprised that no one here ever heard of them or their fanclub/army the turbojugend

@thanius
i saw it on german mtv and looked for it on youtube, probably ztv is a lot better than german mtv

Is he a leather daddy magician? I'm confused.

He looks like a cross between Gene Simmons and Ron Jeremy.

Not bad. I watched the whole thing, even after the katamari ball. That doesn't happen unless I like it.

Katamari translates to soul clump. Not a lot of soul in that thing.

All that we need to do is replace every instance of "destruction" with Destructoid, and we have a new theme song.

These guys were on an episode of Viva La Bam, the Don't Feed Phil episode. No jackass fans in the house?

Somebody needs to take it and re-dub it so the song asks, "Do you dig Destructoid?" Right now.

I've seen it. They sung "I got erection" if I remember correctly.
