Blazing Fire Attends Real Dethklok Concert
Life imitated hyperviolent, heavy metal cartoon this past weekend when a Dethklok concert?that is, a band led by Metalocalypse (and Home Movies) co-creator Brendon Small playing the impressively heavy songs from the show?was canceled on account of a fire. The fire occured at San Francisco’s Fillmore, in-between the opening band Soilent Green and when Dethklok was scheduled to play; some folks are scurrilously reporting that Soilent Green might have started the fire, wich I’m totally fine with irresponsible mentioning as well. No was hurt, or, unfortunately, rocked. (Via Wired)
