J.B.O. (short for James Blast Orchester) is a German band from Erlangen, Bavaria, known for their unique blend of heavy metal and humor. They specialize in "comedy metal," a genre that combines heavy metal music with comedic and parody elements. Founded in 1989 by Hannes "G.Laber" Holzmann and Veit "Vito C." Kutzer, the band initially gained attention for their humorous cover versions of popular songs, reimagined with satirical German lyrics.
