Yall really need to put in some pictures of the band and that klown that they show every once in a while. Also it would be cool for some songs that they did. Thunderhorse would be the best though.
EMGS are the best i installed some on my schecter i love the line 6 amps
what about pickles’ equipments, is he like plaing with himselfs or dose he have a fucking drumsets?!?
i have nominations for him playing the Pearls or mabey Tamas, there should be like, somthings different about it, something that makes it more metal, and brutal… like rims made of the brimstones from hell, and like some kinds of fiery bass drumms mountings so’s lots of fire’s and explosions can be having controls from the feet to be built to burn and destroys all of it’s surroundings…..
so what is the deals with no drums equipment!!
You forgot ProTools. A-COO-COO-YEAH!
i’ve always wondered why they have their animations perfect for the guitar playing, but not for the drums. do they even have a drummer, or is it just a drum machine? maybe it wasn’t in the budget. lame.
are you serious, dude the drummer is Gene Hoglan from SYL. and they don’t have a drum equipment because they don’t have a drum endorsement. so they cant say that Pickles is using Tama or whatever.
Wrong, Ezrin. Gene Hoglan is working with Brendan right now for Season 2 and the upcoming album, but
THE MUSIC FOR ALL OF SEASON ONE WAS DONE WITH A DRUM MACHINE.
Brendon has said so in interviews; he programs the drums himself.
You guys should put an album out..i would buy it in a seccond..you could be even more rich then you already are
You dont even have to be a drummer or a musician to tell the drumming’s fake. Liaten carefully, on the majority of the songs, theres a normal constant double bass hit at a fast tempo with an alternation between the snare and a THIRD BASSDRUM which is physically impossible by normal standards unless he’s pulling a constant murderface and playing with his “third leg”.
and yeah the animation is goofy, he does a roll across the toms like every few seconds even if in the beat he’s only doing something simple and fast of the snare.
the only thing really done well to any extent for the drumming is the blast beats. I hope the songs have more complex drumtracks in the future with Gene Hoglan behind the kit, the guitars need a better supplement
Which of Line6 effects do you use on guitars??thanks!!
It would be ill if they toki would endorse or use Jackson rr, Swisgar would use the kelly and murderface would use/endorse a custom jackson warrior bass. it would also be cool if Pickles would use/endorse pearls.
You can tell by the tom mounts that Pickles uses pearls. They’re just not allowed to put up the name.
i agree. is it a machine on drums or what?
thunderhorse is a perfect example. i could play that. come details!?!?!
you guys have a perfect sound
u guys should try using crate amps they kick ass and get some ibanez guitars
Dude, are you smoking crack, a Crate amp? Dude you obviously have not played a Krank if you think they should use Crates,lol? Crate’s are not good compared to anything at all. And Ibanez guitars, they are alright, but most Gibson’s trump the them. Dude, do yourself a favor and go play a KRANK!
Seriously?? Crate? Their tagline should be “crate…where tone goes to die”. The best set up for any true metal guitarist is a krank or a peavy 5150 (mark 1) head, mesa boogie or krank cabinets (celestion vintage 30 speakers), an AMERICAN MADE gibson or an ESP guitar with EMG pickups (active pickups have integral noise supressors and produce a cleaner tone), a noise supressor pedal and a rack mount sonic maximizer. Do yourself a favor…save some money, go to a music store and sample some pro equipment and don’t just buy what you can afford with your 16th birthday check from grandma…it makes all the difference in the world
I would just like to back up whoever said that the EMG 81/85 Pickups are the best because they suppress any unwanted noise and id like to save any of those NEW guitar players like 100.00 or so, DO NOT USE MARSHALL, MARSHALL IS NOT FOR METAL, KRANK is the best way to go if not a KRANK then i would suggest peavey as a second alternative, and if Line 6 is too expensive for your taste, Digitech’s Grunge pedal isnt to shabby i like it but there isnt enough modification possibilities.
MURDERFACE!!!!
Reading these comments makes me wish I didn’t have a morbid fascination with this virtual band, since the fan-base apparently consists entirely of 14-year-old wannabe musicians.
You retards can’t even figure out the names of the characters, despite many, many other sources that list them all. And yet you’re going to try and give musical advise?
1) Everything up until Hatredcopter was done with a drum machine
2) Crate makes fairly good entry-to-notice level practice amps and nothing worthwhile beyond that. This is why most of their gear is under $300. This is common knowledge.
3) Krank makes vacuum-tube powered amplifier heads and cabinets. EMG makes actively-powered pickups. They are colossally expensive, complex, and made for professional guitarists who have the expertise and experience to appreciate that extra degree of control.
None of the products that either of these companies sells will be of any use to a 14-year-old with his $150 Korean Ibanez and $30 Digitech Grunge pedal.
Go back to your basements.
To dumbass: Why would you run a digitech grunge pedal into a Krank or 5150? Overdrive/boost pedal, OK, but a distortion stomp box?
Kranks have a thin distortion, this incldes the Revs and Krankenstein, go with a 5150+/6505+ amp head instead, you’ll thank me later, and if you have the money, a VHT, Soldano, Framus, Diezel, or Bogner Uberchall, those are the metal amps that you want, for cabs, Bogner uberchall cabs are very good, mesa roadking cabs are also quite good
for guitars, gibsons explorers, V’s, Lp’s, and SG’s with new pickups are good options, but higher priced ($1000+) Jacksons, ESP’s, and Ibanez’s are the way to go, and Deans if you wanna replace the aweful dimebuckers that they put in most of them
dude crate isnt the greatest so what and krank yea is better but i can afford what i can and ibanez is way more metal than gibson i hate gibson
dethklock rules and you all like it in the ass..
To clear up the whole drums thing, when Metalocalypse was made, there was no band lined up. It was ALL Brendon Small. So, since he didn’t play drums, they used a drum machine for the show(if you closely listen, you can tell due to how the beats repeat themselves, without progression) Then, when the Dethalbum came along, they got Gene Holgan from Strapping Young Lad. And when Dethklok tours, Gene is on drum duty.
Hope this cleared up some stuff. Oh, and If Dethklok.org needs a writer…. 
I’m available
in episode 9 snakes and barrels it says in the credits that micheal ammott did someones voice…is someone able 2 tell me whos voice he did?
MICHEAL AMMOTT RULES ALMOST AS MUCH AS DETHKLOK
Hey could you please let us know what tones you use with your line 6 gear-especially the pod.
-Thanks
all u guys are just like hateing on eachother metal is for us to hate the other peole yea i sound like a fukin pussy but seriously fukin its all about is jamming the metal fukin universe its all about who fukin sits there and hates the other people that wine like bitches with there gold ass chains an shit we habe more power who cares what we play fender gibson crate line 6 at least we fukin tribute jam out our fukin souls think u guys damn am i the only one that hates them dumb freakin old chained motha fukas
Brandon,
I need your help. Get the Line-6 guys to build a Vetta-Valve. Don’t get me wrong. The Spider-Valve is a great idea, but it needs the flexibility of the Vetta II. I’m trying to do music and animation like you — on a smaller scale of course — but my old Marshall is about thrashed and the G-DEC I practice with isn’t up to recording. I can’t work under these conditions. Tell those guys I need a Vetta-Valve, post haste, please!

Oh yeah,
I have some shw ideas, but I don’t want to discuss them on an open board.
Tell ya later,
T
Honestly, the best cab I’ve ever played on was a Crate Blue Voodoo. But for metal, the only way to go is either a Krank Revolution or a Krankenstein. There are a few good Randalls. And everyone who just “loves” EMG’s, look at the Seymour Duncan Livewire active pickups. EMG 81/85 are 9-volt. As are most other active pickups. Live Wires are 18-volt and while they get the shittiest clean you’ll ever hear, they have the best metal tone I’ve ever heard. But if you want good metal and good clean in an active pickup, the 81/85 setup is the way to go.
Go with Ibanez, ESP, or Jackson guitars. They are more metal and sleeker in design for faster playin. Kranks arent the best you can get. Try goin for peavey 6505 or Mesa/boogie rectofiers, or even VHT. Everything else, Dunlop, Line 6, EMG, is great stuff
i know people love to hate on korean ibanez’s but i have a seven string s series with emg’s and it rips. i also have an original 60’s model les paul that was willed to me. i prefer the feel of my ibnaez because of the lightness and slimmer neck. no the tone is not as good but not noticeable enough to honestly care.
other then that i play only play peavey. it cleans up better then a krank but it still can sound brutal.
TO MARK-i dont think that they use any tonecore pedals…but i do know that brendon uses the pod xt pedal

Yous a dumb bitch. Ibanez. . . seriously knowing you probably have the starter kit. Gibson so much better than ibanez for one reason. Tone: Gibson have a natural clean heavy or deep tone to them without any distortion; Also with emgs that cut down on unwanted noise what brutal combo. And that is probably why dethklok plays gibsons with emgs. Alot of guitarist world wide play either Gibson, Fender, or Jackson; just to name some of the major brands out there.

Your 1960’s Les Paul cannot be compared to your early 2000’s Ibanez, for a couple of reasons. 1- It was made over 40 years ago I don’t think gibson had thrashing in mind in the 60’s. 2- The wear and tear of over 40 years of use or storage change a guitar compared to you broken in ibanez. 3- The gibsons are made by hand so when you buy you have to know what to look for when looking at a Gibson ( I am not totally sure how ibanez’s are but i’m guessing factory since made in Korea , correct if wrong.). And Tiki I’m not baging on you I’m stating why you can’t compare the two, and because you stated that you prefer your ibanez. You didn’t say that you idea of the best metal guitar is an ibanez. Like some of these people on this comment list.
Also, I am currently a own an alverez acoustic and ibanez electric and saving for a Gibson explorer and an amp either a krank or frender frontman. And on my guitar I prefer either a fixed brigde or a floyd rose tremolo. I done like kahler tremolos because of loss of tuning in a guitar with kahler even with locking nut with kahler tremolos equiped. Don’t how many of you kahler but if its you thing do your thing. And if your kahler stays in tune cool. Just some of the few kahlers I’ve played have went out of tune while using the tremolo.
Gene Hoglan plays drums, it’s in the book. And Brendon Small is the only musician there besides Emilie Autumn, who plays violin on Detharmonic.
Read the freaking book in the cd case.
Drum Machine my ass
Long before there was Dethklok, I bought a Gibson Explorer(black w/white pickguard), and upgraded to EMG pickups. No way in hell would I take any Ibanez over it. Skwisgaar knows how to pick his axe. I play through a Mesa Boogie dual rectifier trem-o-verb combo with celstion speakers. These two together have been killer for makesing da metal. I also have a 2004 reissue Gibson Les Paul Custom Silverburst that sounds awsome too. If your saving up for gear I advise to save a little long and just do it right, you may wait longer but youll be happier in the long run. Props to Brendon Small, you make some of the most kick ass metal out there by yourself.
Gibson. Pure.-Ibanez. Dildos.
