For a generation of a certain vintage, Beavis and Butt-Head remain heavy metal's ultimate anti-heroes. Mike Judge's juvenile duo entertained millions of metalheads around the world with their blunt take-downs of rock bands of the day; simply having your video featured on MTV's premiere animated show was a badge of honour for many artists, and, depending on who you asked, either receiving its seal of approval or getting an absolute panning was even better.
In 1994, the Season 4 episode Madame Blavatsky included a segment on the metal band who were well on their way to becoming the biggest in the genre's history - and Beavis and Butt-Head spared no punches. Metallica, at that point three years into their Black Album era and already a hugely divisive talking point in the metal scene, had a video featured of the band performing For Whom The Bell Tolls, taken from the Four Horsemens' Live Shit: Binge And Purge live album the previous year.
