Anyone else going to Dethklok Sunday?

[tallgrant]

I'm excited- they moved it to a bigger arena due to the large interest in tickets. The shows are getting pretty fantastic reviews!

moving from a small venue to a bigger hall is a nice problem to have.

Watch out for the boiling vats of coffee.

 

[MilkmanDan]

I bet a lot of people won't make it to the new venue.

We stop, consider the land that we traveled
Our map's at home, direction unraveled
But we ride
We ride

I dunno Milkman, it was pretty packed.

Good show- I was really impressed with how well they played live.

 

[Math Mudrat]

Did they do any new songs?

 

[tallgrant]

No, all 14 songs they played were straight off the Dethalbum.

I went to their show Saturday night in Dallas at the House of Blues. TRULY AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!!!! They were rad and the projection show they had was hilarious.

So is it a cartoon or is there an actual band.....I've been wondering.

sincerely,
Idiot.

 

[tallgrant]

There's an actual band. They play the cartoon behind them on the screen. The show (which was animated before) matches up with the music (which is being played live).

The guy who thought up the band/makes the show/wrote the music sings in the voice of the cartoon lead singer, and plays lead guitar. The drummer's the same from the album. They hired a rhythm guitarist and a bass player.

 

[VinceHung]

And the cartoons they project behind the live band are pretty f-ing hilarious.

Musically, the band is tremendous. You have to be legitmately embraced by the fans of the genre before you can make fun of it, and these guys are.

That's kind of disappointing...some of their new songs are baaaaad aaasssss
