The official website for Gibson guitars has released what they perceive to be the top 50 metal songs of all time. Gibson.com’s writers and editors worked on compiling the list over several weeks, releasing 10 entries at a time, and recently released the top 10, which declared the number one metal song to be “Master of Puppets” by Metallica.

In some ways, the number one spot for Metallica is fitting, considering 2011 is the 25th anniversary of the release of their Master of Puppets album. Having said that though, metalheads are notorious for having fierce and strong opinions about what they consider to be their “top songs,” on top of their fierce and strong opinions about what bands are or are not even metal.

In case you didn’t know, Slayer is one of my favorite bands in the world. As much as I love them dearly, I’ve never found a way to incorporate their headbanging music into my holidays.

But a Southern California Slayer fan did manage it — by setting up a Christmas light show on the front of his house synchronized to Slayer’s “Raining Blood.”

See below for the video of the greatest holiday light show ever.

First of all: best neighbor ever.

As if it wasn’t already the coolest shit when the double-bass drums kick in on the song, now to experience it with holiday visuals? I have to say: so fucking awesome!

To the people who live directly across the street from this guy: Please sell me your house.

Happy Christmas in Purgatory!
