The iPhone’s “Marimba” ringtone has become one of the most common sounds you hear everyday, and if you’ve owned an iPhone for a while, it’s downright annoying.

Sure, the ringtone is somehow able to distill Apple’s light and whimsical platform into just a few notes played on an African xylophone. But after nine years, the iPhone’s iconic ringtone could use an update to give it a little more edge.

Video game guitarist ToxicEternity has created a metal cover of Apple’s most popular iPhone ringtones and he shreds so hard it just might melt your face.

      ..let’s hear something you’ve done, CelestialTerrestrial.. I personally hate metal music, for the most part.. but you got to admit, this guy rocks! I enjoyed hearing this, a lot. Apple should buy this and make it a ringtone.
