Synopsis

Album Description
Posehn's 'Live In: Nerd Rage' reveals the hilarious observations of a self-professed nerd and life-long fan of heavy metal. At times the record is personal, nasty, dry, and absurd, but it's always funny. Brian muses on being a teenage heavy metal fan, marriage, his dog Ernie, high-school reunions, body 'parts' and getting revenge on childhood tormentors. Recorded as part of Brian's appearances on the Comedians of Comedy tour, and including a sketch with Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show), 'Live In: Nerd Rage' is Brian at his funniest and will have everyone who hears it seeing the world through a totally different set of eyes. Not just mere stand-up however, 'Live In: Nerd Rage' also incorporates two musical cuts; one by Brian's heavy metal band POSEHN and another by TITANNICA. POSEHN's lineup is a who's who of the hard rock elite; featuring Scott Ian [ANTHRAX], Joey Vera [ARMORED SAINT], John Tempesta [WHITE ZOMBIE, THE CULT] with Brian himself on vocals. POSEHN slays with the soon-to-be-legendary original "Metal By Numbers" while TITANNICA [the metal band from the beloved Mr. Show sketch] delivers their epic track "Try Again, Again".

"To a guy who spends alot of his time watching Hellraiser films with his girlfriend and listening to Iron Maiden, Vital Remains, Behemoth, in Flames, Converge etc etc Brian Posehn is a God send to nerd metalheads around the world. What can you exspect from this album? Only comedic rage that only a pissed off nerd could give you. A wonderful mix of old work like Nerd Rgae, the Mattress Story and the always classic..Yelling Stuff. With great new work, Brian hasn't lsot a step and is my favorite comedian hands down. I went to buy this along with the new All THat Remains(Great!!) as soon as my local record store opened (nerd!) I picked both up, I can clearly say this was no dissapointment. Brian has a natural charming delivery that just makes you want him to be funny. To manys delight, that is just what he is. also, some comics force it and you can always tell when they do. With him though, he throws it out "This is who I am, like it or not. Just let me watch X fiels season 5 on dvd" Which is great, no bulls*it. Just great comedy. Plus, the debut of the brutal audio assault of Posehn and Titannica appear here with Brian on vocals!! Metal By Numbers is not only musically pretty good but hilarious. The best 13 dollars i've spent in a while. Buy with no need to hesitate for a moment. Just make sure on your way home you don't have a mattress stuck under your car! Enjoy"
Good and nerdy

"This album starts off very strong, and is funny until the middle. Then, the editing kicks in, and it's clear that few audiences laughed at Posehn's lesser jokes, so the album takes on this laughter-edited-in quality than didn't quite sit with me. Posehn references Patton Oswalt a few times because they knew and lived with each other. While Oswalt extends his humor beyond his sci-fi, nerdy self, Posehn wallows in it, and sometimes this works in Posehn's favor but too often it doesn't. And he knows it. He sighs at his own flopped jokes and struggles to regain steam. He throws off using segues as if it is old hat, but really the best comics have always moved fluidly within their respective material. This is a funny album, yes, but it's not always at the same level of humor."
