Death's Leprosy still iconic after all these years. I remember the first time I saw and thought "Wow, that makes pink look badass."

[shannonandsheila]

His art is what made me even consider art

[Kensei]

It was about time someone gave Repka his flowers. Thanks!

[caringfamily]

Metal is a tough, bold colorful peacock strutting its stuff. Few artists have the confidence, no, the ability, to handle it. Thank God, Ed stepped up - BIG TIME! Up the irons. \m/

[gordonburchell]

Wow!!!! it instantly hit me I have seen this guys style and art on covers for a long time

[bloodeagle]

Necros prefix before death amazing cover

[mattias]

Megadeath is the first metal band i heard and it was my first favorite band i discovered them when i was 9 years old and since then ive been a hardcore metalhead.

[LindaSmith-tdmx]

[Ibaneddie]

Ed Repka, Pusshead, and Derek Riggs are by far the masters of metal album covers!

[danielteran]

Great episode! please do another one with Pushead! His killer art for Metallica, Misfits and other bands is amazing!

[thedman-zxip]

Kinda love that the video is about Repka's contributions to metal when the thumbnail is from the cover of The Pre-Fix for Death by Necro, a rap album. But hey, Necro kicks ass, so I'm not complaining lol

[Brando-Lee]

WOW! I did not know Repka was that old ! I was born in 78 and I'm 46, so if he was born in 60 ?? Regardless his art is amazing and suited metal so well .

[mak_attakks]

His art definitely jumps out at you. Reminds me of the work of Goosebumps artist Tim Jacobus who's also from New Jersey!

[dexocube]

Scream Bloody Gore is one of my favourite album covers of all time, plus this guy has done the covers of some of my favourite bands.
Hey I just wanted to say, I preferred it when you narrated the videos yourself, I related to it more.

[andresvizgarra]

Buen informe Art, al fin se quien es el responsable de las portadas de los álbumes de Megadeth

[rickytoddbotelho]

Those covers for the album 'peace sells' is mind blowing, brain numbingly badass 😂❤☠️

[Steve_Lowry]

Love his work, I think we see a Basil Gogos influence in a lot of his images.

[HankScorpio]

So, no information about Ed Repka's career before becoming a metal cover artist? Half of the video is about Megadeth, also Ed Repka never did a Dark Angel cover. Also watch in 2x speed so you don't fall asleep during the light, gap-filled 4min script that was stretched into 9mins to hit the monetization mark.

Good to have you back hommie.
Been a while.

[organicketchup]

Hahaha I want a King Diamond action figure 😆 Imagine that.
