Less than a month after running an Oasis sketch that was greeted with near-universal derision, long-running US comedy show Saturday Night Live has upped the ante with a segment about 80s metal.
As anyone who's seen Spinal Tap or Penelope Spheeris's great documentary The Decline Of Western Civilization: Part II - The Metal Years can happily attest, the era lends itself to brilliant comedy – whether it's fictional or otherwise – so it's something of a surprise that the SNL skit is so witless.
