METALLICA + 4Chan + Kittehs = Outrageous!

People, what more do you need?!

Metallica lyrics and kittehs, all in a row! (I suggest playing the song while scrolling down, or just play the song in your head)

Get ready, here we go…

4ch

WWJHD? (What would James Hetfield do)!? Fekket C.?

    LOL…never thought you would find a gem like this in the wasteland that is 4chan.

  2. wibbler says:

    James Hetfield would BLEEN

  3. wibbler says:

    or try to

  4. Kate says:

    That was wicked awesome!

  5. Jewelz_4_U says:

    Wow. Pure genius. Incredible. Amazing. Wow.

  6. lulz says:

    Not sure if it’s a win or a lose.

  7. Jezebel says:

    It’s definitely a win! Buh-ril-yant!

  8. misseriin says:

    omg, my 2 favourite things!

    METALLICA AND LOLCATS!

    yayyyy!

  9. speedwell says:

    We laughed so hard our three kitties came around and meowed at us because they thought something was wrong. LOL :)

  10. Megan says:

    Haha, never expected to see anything from 4chan on here… Things there aren’t typical classified as “cute” :P

  11. platedlizard says:

    lolcats came from 4chan originally (as did many other memes such as the rickroll), so I’m not surprised they’d come up with this. However, unless you’re a channer I recommend staying the HELL away from 4chan. It’s most definitely not all kittays and Metalica lyrics.

    *loves 4chan in a ‘I keep my distance’ kinda way*

  12. Beth says:

    So many kitties singing together! Great group effort!

  13. Beth says:

    PS–I love guitar solo cat!

  14. kathy says:

    rock on mothatrucka, rock on!

    \,,/(^_^)\,,/

    or should i say, meowtha-trucka?

  15. JNO says:

    Not to get all prissy..

    but that one has “F*ck you take my hand” in it.

    I didn’t think profanity was something I’d ever see in a CO post.

    [That was harder to fix -- and catch -- than you might expect... - Ed.]

  16. warrior rabbit says:

    That’s true, there’s gore, sex, and language on the chan sites (all flavors).

    Best to warn people that they probably don’t want to go there if they’re easily offended. Or even not-so-easily, sometimes.

  17. Juniper Jupiter says:

    Meowtalicca!!!!!

    AWESOME!!!

    And any Meowtalocalypse fans out there…season finale at midnite EST on AS!! WHOOT!!!

    This reminds me of the Island of Wayward Kitties!

    RELEASE THA KITTEHS!!!!

  18. CoffeeCup says:

    That was hilarious. I’m going to show my hubby, who is a diehard Metallica fan.

  19. Vicki says:

    I knew that /*/tards visited CO for meme-fodder. Never thought I live to see the day that some of the… creations (for lack of a better term) would wind up BACK on CO. It’s like the Interbutts divided by zero or something. Meg, you’ve doomed us all.

    * – letter left intentionally blank.

  20. Vicki says:

    After checking, I don’t think this came from the unmentionable board. Rather, it probably originated in /v/ (vidya games).

    My bf will kill me if he finds out I’m talking about 4chan.

  21. Kuu says:

    It seems that you’re all getting the entirety of 4chan mixed with the… less wholesome 18+ part.

    They do have an animal/nature board where I get most of my cute animal pictures. And I’m fairly certain that’s where this image came from too. :3

  22. Kuu says:

    And it definitely isn’t from the 18+ boards, which have a red background, not this blue one. :)

  23. Leilani says:

    OMG, I thought I’d DIE. Although 4chan (or whoever they are) better watch out: The Metallica guys are gonna sue their butts. Hetfield & Co. don’t take kindly to having their words reproduced anywhere…

  24. bev says:

    The song! It was in my head! Instantly! So much so that I had to pace my reading/scrolling so as to go along with said tune.

    The only thing it needed was a double “Now I lay me down to sleep…”

  25. Keith Handy says:

    Seconding JNO — not that I don’t use the f-bomb myself, but it isn’t even in the lyrics. If I were the maker of editorial decisions, I would probably pixellate/blur that one phrase, just to “keep it cute”.

    But yes, I’ll live, and I’m not deeply upset. :)

  26. Ender says:

    This might be my favorite post ever.

  27. Amanda says:

    /b/ on my C.O.!? It’s more likely than you think.

  28. Samantha says:

    Hehe, I stumbled this yesterday. It’s great!

    Nice touch with the [bleen] you. ;)

  29. Brandi7920 says:

    Best. Post. Ever.

    I LOL’d for a looong time. (still wiping tears) hahahaha

  30. Emile says:

    Well that was a beauty.

  31. Kevin L. says:

    Metal AND kittens? My two favorite things, in one post?

    Best C.O. moment ever, hands down.

  32. Theo says:
  33. Sunny says:

    WOW. That song takes me back to high school.

    That was awesome. I did have the song playing in my head. It definitly gives it that extra special funny.

  34. lee says:

    Adore it. This goes out to my brother and all those boys who played roll playing games in our garage.

  35. PJ says:

    You got hacked, right?

  36. Theo says:

    Um, PJ? No. Off to bed now.

  37. Rosie Posie says:

    Not to be totally ignorant… but what’s the song?

  38. Caitlin says:

    this is a beautiful beautiful thing.

  39. Vampy says:

    FULL OF WIN!

  40. Ender says:

    Rosie: It’s Metallica’s Enter Sandman. A classic!

  41. I keep waiting for Meow-riano Rivera to show up.

    And how un-hip am I that I don’t know what 4-chan is?

    Not a fan of the group or the song, but this is teh awesome.

  42. Sarah says:

    The final ‘off to never-never land’ kitten is the perfect finishing touch. Best Supporting goes to guitar solo kitteh.

  43. Vicki says:

    berthaservant, if you don’t already know, then it’s probably a good thing. Remember, there are some things that once are seen cannot be unseen.

  44. Raegan says:

    EPIC Win

  45. Gail (the first one) says:

    I am not aware of 4chan, either, nor really a Metallica fan. But some cute pics, tho….

  46. Lawrence says:

    All hail Kittehlicca! >Head banging & kitteh snorging<

  47. Malle Babbe says:

    Wow, something on 4chan that isn’t GOATSE based… Who knew?

    BTW, if you don’t know what that is, PLEASE don’t look it up! Someone in this world has to stay innocent!

  48. InAwwe says:

    OH MY D-O-G … That Rocked!

    But Malle Babbe – I was pretty sure that was one word I’d NEVER see on cuteoverload!

    ::Trying to think all things kittens to block out image::

  49. fish eye no miko says:

    JINO said: “I didn’t think profanity was something I’d ever see in a CO post.”

    Have you missed the posys where they say stuff like “What’s up, bitches”?

  50. aloria says:

    HAHAHAHA this made my night.

  51. amberdawn says:

    Wow, this is about the funniest thing I’ve ever seen on CO. My husband and I were dying of laughter when we realized that the box with no words was GUITAR SOLO kitty!

  52. Amy says:

    This is the best! I was actually listening to Metallica when I checked in to CO and saw this! It was meant to be!!

  53. amyj says:

    Me too, Berthaservant. Now I’ll picture kitties whenever Rivera is called in (and maybe squirrels running around the field).

    This is quite an epic piece here, matching all those lolkitteh pictures to the lyrics. Very impressive! And the thread has been very educational. No way I can resist looking things up when people warn me off. 4chan, GOATSE – need more pictures of cute to clear my brain!!

  54. Hannah says:

    Can someone please make this a slideshow, set to the song?

  55. ornith says:

    I was grinning from the second pic… but the guitar solo cat made me lol.

  56. PandaGirl says:

    BEST. POST. EVAR. Once I realised what song it was, I started rocking out, complete with Rock Band guitar boards running through my head.

    Guitar solo kitteh is my fave :D

  57. Brammi says:

    Seems like every girl geek I meet these days lives a double life as a Cuteologist and Channer.

    And yet… I’m frankly shocked that Meg knows about 4chan. And admits to it. And posted about it, thus leading the innocent to a life of sin and vice.

    Now, Meg has EVERY RIGHT to wade in the sea of piss with the rest of us, but I feel like I just walked in on my parents having sex.

    I need my blankie and some time with the “Pocket Pets” category.

  58. katy says:

    BEST POST EVAR

  59. Allison says:

    OMG this is awesome! I love the internet.

  60. Kristi says:

    Great, this song is gonna be in my head all night now.

    I never thought I would be rocking out to KITTENS! C.O is opening my world to new experiences! :P

  61. Amanda says:

    My chasey is on there!! He’s the one that sayd Blarrgg I am ded.

  62. Stefanie says:

    This was fantastic! Definitely one of the best posts ever!!

  63. darkshines says:

    Just a reality check fr the person slightly nuffing the word “bitch”, you do know its what a female dog is called, right?

  64. jmuhj says:

    Absolutely can not and will not listen to rock music. But love the cat!

  65. Hott Kate says:

    I LITERALLY LOLed. THAT WAS AWESOME

  66. so_much_love says:

    i love eet. That tacgnol exit light enter night pic is my wallpaper – I’ll be thinking of this earworm every time I look at it now…

  67. Kimski says:

    This Rocks!!!!

    ps. I spent enough time on urban dictionary to never want to look up anything else I’m warned not to look up. Scarred for life I ams.

  68. Jessie V says:

    darkshines, you do know that bitch is much more often used in derrogatory reference to a female human, right?

  69. Monique says:

    This is really cute, but I think it would be even better with the posting info removed. The constant timestamping was kinda annoying.

  70. darkshines says:

    *shrugs* I guess it de[ends on the way its used. If the picture is of a puppy with a slightly charming look on his face and the caption is “what’s up bitches?” I see it as humour, its a play on words. If it was a different picture, maybe not so. I think sometimes people are too serious about things.

  71. Brilliant. Absolutely frackin BRILLIANT. I wonder how many hours it took the creator of this to put it together… ;)

  72. VentureSister says:

    SWEEEEET. My bf is going to plotz when he sees this. Also:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnpfJ6lkhvI

    Friggin amazing song.

  73. Capt' Tightpants says:

    This pleases me. I am terribly pleased.

    Rock on, kittehs!

  74. Theresa says:

    And in keeping with the baseball theme (sorry haters, we’re in a pennant race) the song is frequently used as entrance music for relief pitchers! B-serv, it’s Billy Wagner’s music, too, or at least it was until he got hurt.

    BTW, is this group of pics definitive proof that cats is the funniest peoples or what!??

  75. Desi says:

    Epic RAWK win… this win goes up to 11!

    This is so winnage I am going to splice it into a RAWKcute desktop.

  76. Pussytoes says:

    How sweet.

  77. Patricia says:

    I like the dragon kitty (likes dragons) and the kitty rockin out on the guitar.

    It’s great!

  78. Tee says:

    WOW!

  79. Nikki says:

    Now THAT was awesome. :D

  80. Flavia A. says:

    ROFLMAO.
    Never thought Metallica could be cute.

  81. Theo says:

    Flavia — you were right.

  82. Bean says:

    Love the post, but you might want to post the wikipedia article to 4chan. (Perhaps with a warning for the site.)

    For the innocent souls who are not devoid of moral and/or a complete nerd for anime and such things.

    It can be… crass occasionally.

    [Bean, you have a talent for understatement. - Ed.]

  83. Maw says:

    C-C-C-COMBOTASTIC!!1one!

  84. Bean says:

    … Wtf why did it post me 3 times. Goddamn reload button screwed me over again.

  85. bucky says:

    this is like getting a PONEEEE for my birthday.
    the awesomeness of Sandman/Met and KITTEHz
    i can’t take it.

  86. Bean says:

    To Ed: Sarcasm, how original.

    And yeah, I’m an avid 4channer myself. A straight up /b/tard.

    Uh… yeah. Haha, you learn to scroll quickly.

    [It wasn't sarcasm. Also, I fixed your dups; I do that. - Ed.]

  87. MarkD says:

    This is hands down the funniest post I have seen in ages. Bless the rockstar team that is C.O.!

  88. Brandi says:

    This made me LOL for real. I love it. The comment asking “what song is this” also made me LOL. Sorry. :) I’m not like a huge Metallica fan or anything but it is a pretty darn famous song.

  89. mom2twinzz says:

    Ask and ye shall recieve….

    LOLCAT Metallica ROCKS!!!!
    Loved the vid, VentureSister. Did you make it or find it?

  90. GreedySkunk says:

    Metallica has been waaay overplayed. So thanks for this post! Now, every time “Enter Sandman” pops up on Rock Band, I’ll have little Guitar Solo Kitteh rocking out with me in my head while I attempt to scrape by in Hard mode.

    If only someone would come up with a motivational series of lolcats for “Run To The Hills”….

  91. winfrenzy says:

    Not that anyone really cares, but it came from /an/ (which would be animals and nature)

  92. Fegli says:

    totally thought this was all different people, but it appears to be the same Anonymous person over and over again. It went from being a cool communal effort to someone with too much time…

    Ah well – it’s still adorable lol

  93. Pussytoes says:

    The Lenin, Stalin and Hitler kitties are just killin’ me!

  94. warrior rabbit says:

    pussytoes, catsthatlooklikehitler.com

  95. Gingertrees says:

    OMG somebody make this a powerpoint presentation, or a website!!!!

  96. Daniel says:

    Ah, 4chan can almost be charming when the /b/tards are getting their kitten on instead of making fun of the dead or trying to wreck other dorks’ lives. Threads like these are almost enough to make me forget what a sociopathic juvenile hellhole that place usually is. Win!

  97. riolinda says:

    OMG .. that was HI-larious!! :)

  98. carmen says:

    I saw the *cat from h*ll* kitty over at http://www.mycathatesyou.com

    It was always one of may fav’s over there.

  99. atomicthumbs says:

    4chan is fine if you stay away from the boards that say “18+”. Especially /b/, which is another name for Random. DO NOT GO THERE. EVER. THINGS CANNOT BE UNSEEN.

  100. LadyDarya says:

    Soooo had to comment this is like my totally favorite metallica song and here I am at work just ROFLMOL!!

  101. Theo says:

    Rolling On Floor Laughing My Onions Loose?

  102. Laura says:

    Oh man, this is almost as good as the lolcat version of the Gashleycrumb Tinies! Mwahahaha!

    [Links! We need links! - Ed.]

  103. michii says:

    I’m with Hannah. This is definitely deserving of a slideshow. :D go.. someone go! Make it now!

  104. hyura says:

    i didn’t know anything about 4chan, but now i want to go there.

    i don’t care if this post was something that devolved from a cool communal effort to a project by one person with too much time. it is still cool, and the dedication deserves applaud!

  105. ding says:

    This is so sweet and funny.

  106. Ana says:

    This is the BEST of ALL!!!

    Yes, please. lolcat Gashleycrumbs? I must see.

    Meow-tallica… is totally awesome.

    but why did everyone have to talk about this 4chan character? You do realize I will have to check this out when I go home? And although not usually squeamish, I feel like I might be scarred for life? I blame all of you.

  108. Noelegy says:

    James Hetfield can has lawsuit?

    I dunno, I can see them being totally humorless about this. But I think it’s cute to the cute.

  109. Mark says:

    The cat with guitar needs a caption. how about:

    “I ain’t nuthin but a hound dog!”

    [Elvis was never in the Metallica lineup. What a weird idea. Besides, it's the guitar solo, therefore no lyrics - Ed.]

  110. lurkertype says:

    Very very clever.

    The guitar solo cat was particularly perfect. Hubby and I LOL.

  111. lurkertype says:

    someone’s synched these pix up to the song at YouTube, search for “Lolcat Sandman” (naughty word missing, I think).

  112. lurkertype says:

    Oops, I see VentureSister beat me to that. Click her link.

  113. skippy says:

    Here’s a link to some Gashlycrumb Kittehs:

    http://community.livejournal.com/cat_macros/2706799.html#cutid1

    …but they weren’t as funny as I thought they might be.

    This post, on the other hand, is fantastic!

  114. Dan says:

    4chan + CO = WINRAR

  115. Jwlls says:

    That was hi-larity! Thx VentureSister for the link to the YouTube version! This is now my 2nd favorite YouTube video evah! …next to “Miss Teen USA 2007 – South Carolina answers a question”.

    Oh, and I didn’t know what 4chan was either, but I looked it up on Wikipedia, and the description won’t sear your eyes – no worries! It OBJECTIVELY describes the site… no harm done.

    I can has cheeseburger now.

  116. Her says:

    Hi-larious.
    How long before Metallica sues?

  117. Jan says:

    THAT was pure genius! OH what a great montage!

    James and Lars would be proud.

  118. Theo says:

    …in a perfect world.

  119. anner says:

    pls to be making slide sho with muzik soonz. kthxbai.

  120. anner says:

    o! is alreddy maid!

  121. bucket says:

    Hehe on the inlay booklet of the ‘Garage Inc’ album it shows the band in pretty suits with the band name ‘Metallicats’. I don’t think this is what they had in mind when they came up with that.

  122. claudia says:

    “Rolling On Floor Laughing My Onions Loose?”

    After I collected myself off the floor from laughing at metal kitties, I start with the comments, and read THAT.

    Now that I picked myself off the floor again to post, gooder one!

  123. unci says:

    Someone please make a video of this!!

  124. anner says:

    berthaservant — if it makes you feel any better, you are probably the first person ever to use the words “4chan” and “hip” in the same sentence.

  125. Theo says:

    Word, Anner.

  126. Rogh-sensei says:

    I forsee an influx of new traffic tonight…

    “I felt a great disturbance in the 4ce, as if millions of newf**s suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.”

  127. Random says:

    I wouldn’t be surprised to see this as a YouTube slide show one of these days.

  128. madamerouge says:

    perfection

  129. Allie Catt says:

    Priceless. Never underestimate the power of cuteness. ;0)

  130. Stefan says:

    words cannot describe the awesome!

  131. HvsL says:

    Hate metallica. However, this is total win. I will actually subject myself to metallica for the sake of this post.

  132. anon says:

    This isn’t from 4chan.

    Back in July, no board on 4chan was below 100,000 posts, not even /r9k/.

    So, a post #13901 on 4chan in July??? Nah. It comes from another chan.

    The M/D/Y (which is how 4chan’s date system works) is also strange. The 4th of July 2008 wasn’t a Sunday, it was a Friday.

  133. Sarcasm-hime says:

    This is the only good thing 4chan has ever produced, but it is unequivocal win.

  134. katy says:

    Love it! Love the Metallica song too.

  135. Meggie says:

    I love epic threads, who knew /an could make one?

    @Fegli
    All users are Anonymous, it’s the nature of the board. Those are most likely different posters.
