Rock Out With Hevisaurus
Here in the US, just about everybody knows about that annoying, purple dinosaur “Barney,” but kids in Finland are more likely to be familiar with the hard-rockin’ metal group Hevisaurus. Dressed up in green dinosaur costumes adorned with extra heavy-metal style spikes, the group produces original songs which could have been written by just about any other 1980′s-style metal band you care to name (though, since I can’t understand the lyrics at all, I can only assume they’re a bit more kid-friendly).
What do you think readers? Is Hevisaurus awesome, or not?

Schnapi meets GWAR, should kids be exposed to that ?
I’d love it if StSanders would do a shred of Hevisaurus.
Oh my gosh, it’s a fusion of my two great loves!
Jurassic Park meets KISS, its an idea who’s time has come, in a big way .
hevisaurus just published new album, go check that out people. And the lyrics are made for kids… but made with talent and are not childish. (well i do not have problem in understanding them, i am finn

There’s actually an american dinosaur band from Austin, TX, Rockosaurus Rex, that does metal kids music. http://www.rockosaurusrex.com
Way before Hevisaurus ever thought of it.
