Chris McCausland Offends Heavy Metal Band on 'Would I Lie To You?'

The Heavy Metal Misunderstanding

• 🎸 Chris McCausland claims he once offended a member of a heavy metal band by telling him his music "wasn't heavy enough."
• 💡 The band in question was named Error Type 11, and McCausland had bought their album expecting a very heavy sound.
• ❓ A key point of confusion arose when the panel questioned if "metal" referred to literal metal objects rather than the music genre.

A Case of Mistaken Identity

• 🎧 McCausland attended a concert by Error Type 11, but found them to be "quite whiny" and not as heavy as anticipated.
• 💿 The reason for the disappointment was revealed: McCausland had mistakenly put Eyelid's CDs in Error Type 11's cases, leading him to believe he was listening to the wrong band.
• 🤷‍♂️ He admitted to having the CDs in the wrong cases and listening to Eyelid's music while thinking it was Error Type 11, and vice versa.

The Verdict

• 🗣️ David Mitchell initially proposed a humorous alternative scenario involving saucepans and "light metal."
• 🧐 Mitchell and the team ultimately decided to believe McCausland's story, citing the specific detail about a band member coming down during an interval as a sign of authenticity.
• ✅ The story was confirmed as true, meaning Chris McCausland did indeed offend a heavy metal band member due to a CD case mix-up.
