If you've always kinda liked Weird Al Yankovic but wished he was more metal, check this out. Andre Verchura, an accordion-toting Frenchie (who cops Metallica's lightning bolt logo) has posted a video spoof of a metal covers album called Le Roi Du Bal Metal (Someone please translate that for us... we're ignorant Yanks).
The parody is all in French, but it's easy to understand what Verchura is poking fun at. During the video, he plays accordion versions of songs by Iron Maiden, Metallica, Scorpions, AC/DC and Van Halen and provides accompanying photos and illustrations that lampoon album art by those bands and more. Our inductive reasoning (and the onscreen URL at the end of the clip) leads us to believe that Verchura may be an alias for DJ Tofel, a wacky DJ who also seems to be in a band called Black Darons.
