“Jackass” Star Names His Top 5 Metal Albums

“Jackass” Star Names His Top 5 Metal Albums

“Jackass” and “Viva La Bam” star Chris “Raab Himself” Raab spoke with Metal Injection recently to name his five favorite metal albums. 

Rabb and his company, Green Gate Entertainment, just produced the comedy movie “Afternoon.” The film will screen at Kevin Smith’s Smodcastle Film Festival on Dec. 4. Raab also recently directed a video for 96 Bitter Beings called “Vaudeville’s Revenge.” 

Here are Raab’s top metal picks: 

Clutch – Transnational Speedway League: Anthems, Anecdotes and Undeniable Truths: “This album was my introduction to Clutch, a band that has been like a soundtrack to my life. I could list many other albums from Clutch, but this one got me hooked for life.”

Metallica — The Black Album: “Their earlier albums are amazing as well, but this album was released when I was 11 years old, at a time when I was discovering music on a different level. I admire that they took a risk with this album by doing more commercial type songs.”

Black Sabbath — Paranoid: “Sabbath with Ozzy is the only Black Sabbath in my opinion. I love Dio on his own and with Rainbow, but Sabbath is Ozzy and of course Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Gotta have Ozzy on vocals!”

Rory Erickson — The Evil One: “So many great tracks on this album, starting strong with “Two Headed Dog.” You’re Gonna Miss Me is also a great documentary.”

Amorphis – Tales From The Thousand Lakes: “This album was my introduction to death metal. Bam and Jess Margera turned me on to Amorphis. I love the combination of melodic and heavy vocals.”
