Canadian Alt-Rock heroes Billy Talent are in the hot-seat this week with their video for “Rusted From the Rain“. This track just so happens to be the first single from their upcoming new album Billy Talent III, which you’re probably excited about, and if you’re not you should be.

The Jury (ie: me) really, really, reeeaaaallly wants to make a ironic Metal joke here, but knows it would be totally inappropriate and in the wrong genre anyway. Aside from this teeny-weeny personal dilemma, the Jury is actually pretty pleased with this video.

So this week’s question is going to be, what is the most awesome thing about “Rusted From the Rain“?

1) Ian D’Sa’s rocking out like a boss with his guitar on… a pile of used guitar strings?
2) Ian D’Sa’s hair. It never ceases to amaze.
3) Ben Kowalewicz’s very sexy haircut (maybe this is just me).
4) The seemingly homeless mechanical Engineer-Magician (watch his face at 3:33).
5) The band’s wicked performance scenes.
6) The fact that the song has, um, very little to do with the video itself. Aside from, okay, rusted stuff.

All ballots will be duly noted, and your participation is always much appreciated.
