Ladies and Gentlemen of the readership of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, it gives me great pleasure to announce that at long last we have an Official Channel for this website. Historically speaking, I’ve been a YouTube user since March of 2006 with a personal profile and when I joined this, the PiercingMetal website was not even a full year old. I wouldn’t create a channel for that site until 2008 and that was still two years prior to the “birth” of “The Chronicles”.

And now its time to celebrate something that isn’t of our own design at all. So historically speaking, today is the 15th Anniversary of the very first YouTube video being published. According to research they first branded this whole thing back in February of 2005 and I guess didn’t rush to get any kind of video up until April. Their launch of brand was actually only a few months before the launch of my own PiercingMetal website for those who might be curious. I dug around and learned that the very first clip was called “Me At The Zoo” and I’ve embedded it for you down below.
So the other day I was at a Metal Tribute show down at one of the neighborhood bars in Coney Island. While I was over there I just was compelled to visit the Nathan’s hot dog place since that is almost a “must do” kind of thing when in the region. Anyways, on my way back to see my friends who were playing some Black Sabbath down on the street, the fireworks display started to go off on the Boardwalk. Since I wanted to test the ability of recording video with my new Smartphone, I fumbled to get it rolling and share with you blog readers some of this happening.
This is only a portion of the display of course but it will have to do. I shot this with the Droid Incredible device aka my current mobile phone. Pretty cool. I should do more with this as it seems to work out really well. Oh, and in case you are wondering, my friends are the band Wicked World and you can hear them in the background playing Black Sabbath’s “N.I.B.”. It was a fun night of Metal for sure.
That’s all I got for now but as I wrap this up I will ask that you subscribe to the YouTube Channel that hosts this video. It’s my personal one and I guess I should look into creating a channel for the recently launched website which you are now enjoying. I will mark that down on the to do list. Keep rocking
