A few days ago I got to see Dethklok of Metalocalypse fame live. Yes, there is a live version of the band. Brendon Small who is one of the co-creators of the t.v. show writes and plays the music for the show, and he is a voice actor for the show, playing the singer (Nathan Explosion) among others. He sings and plays guitar in the live version of the band, along with Mike Keneally as the second guitar, Bryan Beller on bass guitar and Gene Hoglan on drums.

The show was amazing, and the Deththeme (the theme of the t.v. show) is absolutely crushing live. Gene Hoglan is unbelievably talented and very brutal in a live setting. I got to meet him after the show, and I got his autograph. I got him to sign my "pain waiver". In the context of the t.v. show, you have to sign a pain waiver, waving all rights to legal action against the band in case of injury or death in order to be admitted to one of their live show. My friend and I created our own for the last time we saw them, and we brought copies this time as well.

On another equally metal note, I just found this on YouTube and I think some of you will appreciate this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW_Lv0r-l4c

That is a singer for a well known death metal band called Cannibal Corpse. Here is an example of what he does: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5Hv0tsvpyU His nickname is "Corpsegringer" for a reason.

Also, I found this. Its pretty damn funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc-V3NYckOI

Just a warning, the three YouTube links and somewhat explicit.
