Fratello Metallo – Yahoo News Photos

Friar Cesare Bonizzi, also known as Fratello Metallo Metal Friar C, poses with his band after a rehearsal session in downtown Milan July 10, 2008. Dressed in his traditional robe, sandals and twirling the rope around his waist, 62-year old Bonizzi is no ordinary heavy metal rocker. But as guitarists around him belt out heavy notes, the long-white-bearded Capuchin, a former missionary in Ivory Coast, has no qualms bobbing his head and shouting lyrics about alcohol, sex, tobacco and life in general into his microphone.
