... some metal band (Dethklok?) recording their song/filming their vid/having the concert on such a moon - the guitar solo intensifies as the band is lifted upwards by a soaring mountain, epicly, with lava flows.

I think it's funny that Dethklok is both a parody metal band and one of the best metal bands around. I don't even really like metal and I love Dethklok.

I would love to see them live. Brendon Smalls seems awesome.

I found out the day of the concert that Dethklok and Baby Metal were playing in my city but I couldn't make it. I've like Brendon Smalls since Home Movies.

Gee, I never really took chicken lady literally

Same, friend. Same.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 days ago

Well, I do like metal, but Dethklok was/is one of my easiest work music.

that's nothing compared to Disaster Area, who need to evacuate a whole planet due to their sound system

I don't like them. They usually phone their performance in.
