The first time we utilized this accomplishment of technological advancement was by hooking them up in our stereo systems, getting on our bean bag chair, and spending the evening listening to the likes of Judas Priest, Iron Butterfly, Motorhead, Def Leppard and any other Rock/Metal bands from the mid 70's to about the early 80's.
Little did we realize at the time, this technology would lead us to the next major evolutionary step in our peoples listening habits, which was to take our tunes with us where ever we went (as long as the "AA" batteries didn't die out), and for those of you born before 1996, it was the cassette players that allowed our people to take our tunes in the train/bus/classroom/dinner with parents/etc.
One major ambassador of Heavy Metal, Otto Mann (of The Simpsons), was noted for wearing such a device 24/7 (except for a handful of moments in episodes where animation specification was the law and needed to have the headphones off). He would also wear said device while going to Spinal Tap Concerts and playing guitar solos to the children in the school bus, delaying their arrival and a resulting wedgie for the nerd who brought the tardy bus to his attention. METAL CLIFFNOTE: All the Hard Rock/Metal references surrounding his bio definitely makes him Springfields most Metal resident.
Today, we look at a creation that takes one of the Metalheads headgear and plunges it to the depths of hell just to resurrect it to headphones worthy of the Legions. Introducing Section 8 Judas Priest In Ear Buds.
Yes, the above pic is me attempting the British Steel album cover, but crooked for your viewing ease. I'm Breakin' The Law for all of you.
I managed to find these at my local Pepboys while buying a lockable gas cap, and they were quite a surprise find during a excursion for automotive parts. Sounds Insane, don't it?
So for those of you looking for a "Painkiller" of headphones, look no further than to the Priest In Ear Buds.
