good

[stinkbutt]

HOLY SHIT!!!!

[rage patton]

Wait... Adult Swim is presenting this tour?

Also, how do you pronounce Dethklok's name? Is it really Death Clock? That has got to be one of the stupidest band names I have ever heard.

[paulb]

at the Orpheum....such a lame place for a metal show....

[stinkbutt]

I think pronouncing it Death Clock is an awesome name. Especially when you throw "doodily dee tick tock" into your theme song.


The place they are playing here sucks as a venue but has great sound

[liquidsnake28]

High on Fire! They were so great at bonnaroo. It was really hard for me to leave their set for Erykah Badu.

[rage patton]

I think pronouncing it Death Clock is an awesome name. Especially when you throw "doodily dee tick tock" into your theme song.

Do they really? Wow. Also, I had never heard of these guys until this tour was anounced.

The Vancouver show is in an all seated theatre. Its actually an awesome venue. Not for a metal show though.

[stinkbutt]

You have never seen Metalocalypse? Patton even did voice work on an episode.

This tour is gonna rock High On Fire is awesome and I've never seen Converge but really like some of their work

[rage patton]

We don't get Adult Swim in Canada. We get some of the shows from Adult Swim a few months after you guys. So no, I haven't even heard of Metaloclypse. Is Dethklok some sort of joke-metal band that I am out of the loop on?

Im gonna go to youtube and check this out.

[stinkbutt]

They are but they are better than most shit out there nowdays

Metalocalypse is the show and it's hilarious


Dethklok is the band and they wail

[liquidsnake28]

I thought it was common knowledge that Canadians are always out of the loop on pop culture, among other things.

[rage patton]

That is pretty awesome actually. The show at the music. Now that I know the context that is. So is this Dethkloks first tour then?

[stinkbutt]

I think it's their third tour. They did a headlining tour and they opened for ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead their first time out.

[rage patton]

All the Trail of Dead fans who weren't familiar with Dethklok must have been very confused by that one.

[misterpickles]

my highschool years were filled with the likes of children of bodom, dimmu borgir, animosity.. ah brings a tear to my eye =']

i've been really out of the metal loop lately, whats good?

[stinkbutt]

Not sure if it's up your alley but I've been listening to a lot of Jesu and Black Math Horseman lately

the worst genre of music easily.

[rage patton]

Dammit Stinky... now im hooked on Metalocalypse. This shit is funny.

the worst genre of music easily.

Yes. Metal has produced absolutely nothing of worth. It is easily the worst genre of music.

Go fuck yourself.

[nbvcide]

i grew up on metal and for years Ozzfest was the only fest i went to...

that being said, i can't think of anything of worth metal has produced in several years.. metal is deader than dirt.

[rage patton]

Manager: A number of criminal are to be executed soon and the prison system has asked you to perform at this execution, becau...
Nathan: NO. Pass.
Manager: And they want you to pick how they are executed.
Nathan: *pause* Awwwwwww...argh. Darn. Thats awesome. Thats REALLY awesome.
Manager: Is this something you would consider doing?
Nathan: *throws bottle* Grrr... Yeah!

You have failed, severely. Either stop listening to the radio or just leave this board.

actually i would have to agree with him. metal is just garbage i will be completly honest when i was a in my youth i would remember listening to metal. such as black sabbath, slayer, metalica,etc. It slowly just got worse and worse, the most recent metalica album was by far the worse of any of theirs. Now metal music is all garbage. it is all a bunch of fat middle aged men all tatted up wearing there weird fucking clothes screaming into the microphone.

i haven't listened to a radio station since i stopped working for one (i'd say around 2004)...

if i have failed to name all the great metal acts that have come into existence since 2005, please, do inform me...

i am fairly confident any great metal act you can name has been around for at least ten years, and who's best work is behind them..

That's because it's not 1982.
