'Beavis and Butt-Head''s History With Metallica
Metallica have been a staple of Beavis and Butt-Head from the beginning, as Beavis can be seen regularly wearing shirt emblazoned with the thrash legends' logo. The headbanging friends also geek out over a live video of Metallica playing "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in an earlier episode.
"Sit your ass down, Lars, play the drums like you're supposed to," Butt-Head tells the band's excitable drummer. He also observes, "That James Hetfield dude looks like the cowardly lion."
"I wouldn't say they're as cool as GWAR," Beavis chimes in, "but they still rule. They rule! They rule! They kick ass!"
