Metalocalypse is known to ask musicians in the scene to play obscure parts on the show (here's a comprehensive guide). Well, when our brohams at MetalSucks recently interviewed DETHKLOK creator Brendon Small, they had to ask if we will see more of these, especially from their tour-mates in MASTODON and here is what he said:
That’s funny that you mentioned that, [because] we just recorded Mastodon in the upcoming episode and they were… we were blown away. We get a lot of people and we’re always surprised that they have this kind of other talent or can do voiceover stuff. Mastodon surprised us more than anybody else — they were really funny. Just hanging out with those guys on this tour has been really fun. They have a very good sense of humor. A lot of people in rock and roll, metal and all that stuff spend all their time on the bus just watching comedy and Monty Python and stuff like that. We have Mastodon coming. We have members of In Flames coming this season. I have some of my guitar heroes playing parts on this season, doing voiceovers, like Satriani, Vai, and Slash. I’m a guitar nerd so I had to reach out to those guys to see if I can get them on the show. They were great too.
Slash, Satch, Vai but no Thor Shredsteen? Somebody call his agent! Check out the full MetalSucks interview with Brendon here.
And, of course, I have to mention the greatest interview we ever conducted, our audio interview with Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf and Pickles the Drummer can be heard here.
