I wasn't sure what I was getting into, seeing a cartoon band live, but the show was great! Dethklok videos were on the big screen behind the band, which took the attention off of the actual band playing and the fact that they don't look anything like the members in the cartoon... not to mention that there were only 3 members as opposed to the 5 on TV.
The problem with seeing a "cartoon band" live is, since the charecters aren't real, you can't really stray from a scripted performance. There will be no solo's or on stage banter (which can also be a good thing).
Either way, the band rocked. I heard all the songs that I wanted to hear. And the exclusive cartoons were funny and enjoyable. Good show!

Favorite moment: Murderface singing Glenn Danzig's Mother @
Setlist: Dunkin Hills Coffee Jingle, ThunderHorse, Awaken, Murmaider, etc. @
Opening act(s): I'm not really into Mastadon, but they are very "trippy" and can almost put you into a hypnotic "sleep", which is not what you want before a metal show. @
