Going over my YouTube Favorites, I realized I had forgotten to post my favorite video of 2006. It’s truly something to behold – best after a couple beers, but it will trip you out even if you’re stone cold sober:

The other two are raunchy as hell and NSFW. I’ve nicknamed them “Kewpie,” and, “Heinz.” If you’re a D fan, you should definitely go check them out:

I’ve said this a thousand times before: On the Wheels of Solid Steel is the best CD/DVD combo I’ve ever seen, period.

The two vids above are really well edited and fun, but I saved the best for last. These are live performances from his 2005 Japan tour:
