Concert Review: Dethklok

This is a followup entry to the time I told you about how I stayed up late to buy pre-sale tickets to see Dethklok.

The show was last night.  A dark, dreary, brutal kind of night.  It had become summery here in Seattle, but yesterday the storm clouds and the cold returned.  A perfect night for a metal show, I suppose.  I took notes on my phone, so rather than trying to craft a story about the whole experience, I think I will just include the out-of-context notes I took during the show here:

• two girls were dressed as rock n' roll clowns (who presumably do c-c-c-cocaine)
  
  
• I did not have to sign a liability waiver (although there was rain water dripping through lighting rigs and it was easy to imagine a mass electrocution)
  
  
• roadies did not wear executioner hoods (in fact one roadie looked like he could be Skwisgar's grandpa)
  
  
• plan of attack: stick close to guy in sleeveless Bathory tshirt

If you're wondering if they performed as cartoons or humans...the answer is both.  The humans came out and played in front of a big white projection screen, which played the appropriate clip from the appropriate episode when the appropriate song came on.  So it was kind of like watching a Monkees episode during a musical montage, where you're sorta watching a live performance, but you're sorta watching a TV show?  At the very beginning they showed a special clip of the council discussing the impending Dethklok tour and their plan to release a virus to all the people attending the shows.

And also if you're wondering, Dethklok fans look less like the uber-hot Toki Wartooth:
