At the risk of pissing off Exodus vocalist Rob Dukes -- a pretty huge guy who could snap our necks like pencils -- we gotta say that his iPod isn't all that brutal. One of the only thrash songs on there is by the band he's actually in, and the majority of his 20 random picks are kinda lightweight coming from a guy who screams, "I always stab my victims until they're dead/ A knife to the throat or a smashing blow to the head" just about every night he's onstage.

Still, we gotta give him kudos for having solo Mike Patton, Frank Zappa and The Accused on there. And, just to make sure we never end up on his sh-- list, we'll conclude things by saying Dukes is a multi-talented guy who enjoys tasting from the many flavors of life.

'Cuz this is the show you dudes programmed all on your own. We've tallied your votes for best videos of the year, and on Saturday we'll run your top 10 choices from 2 to 3 a.m. EST, ending the show with your favorite metal vid of 2008.
