My 19 y/o death-metal-fan son dragged me out to this show last night.  
For the uninitiated, Dethklok is the fictious band from the Cartoon  
Network's show Metalocalypse. They did a *free* hour long show for a  
limited audience (first 450 people) last night. The *real* musicians,  
incl. singer/composer/co-creator Brendan Small and guitarist Mike  
Keneally, perfomed live mostly in the shadows while their animated  
doppelgangers performed onscreen. It was hilarious! Spinal Tap for  
the death metal crowd. I daresay all those guys bashing into each  
other in the pit had no clue about the irony! I doubt I would have  
appreciated the music had I simply heard it on CD, but to see the  
insane video animations, incl. some of the more hard-to-decipher  
lyrics, cast the whole spectacle in a new light for me. And the Small/ 
Keneally twin-guitar work was really cut above most music of that genre.
