Fratello Spassoso

This story made me smile for so many reasons.

First, what a fantastic marketing scheme. What better way to attract attention to a not-so-often appreciated form of music? I must admit, I am not a fan of the heavy metal genre, but I did you-tube this mysterious heavy-metal bellowing friar as soon as I saw this article. (Wait, is that an appropriate verb usage? Is it called you-tubing? Or do you just look up things on you-tube? Whatever, I'm calling it you-tubing).

Secondly, I love the Fratello Metallo name. All through high school Gorilla was known as Fratello Nero.

Here's my first attempt at putting up a video. I hope it works. I promise that unless you appreciate heavy metal you will probably not make it through the entire thing. Just give it a little while to appreciate the novelty of it. The star of the show doesn't make an appearance until about a minute in.
