message: The page mentions a leaked watermarked copy of the album available on the internet. Well, as of this morning (09/01/07), there is an unedited leaked version. Worth mentioning? And yes, Hatredcopter is on there. 74.101.94.18 23:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Because leaks are sometimes notable occurrences; however in this case I don't really think it is. A more notable leak would be one where the band or label were taking extra precaution. = ∫tc 5th Eye 14:59, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if this album will have the Parental Advisory sticker? From hearing the songs from the show, there isn't any swearing. There is a bit of violence, though, and sometimes they will put a P.A. sticker on just for that. The sticker isn't on the album cover shown, I have not heard the leaked bootleg yet so I can't be sure, but can someone clear this up for me?

replies: text: The iTunes store is carrying Dethalbum in both guises.  Oddly enough, the normal (blue) version has no PA, but the deluxe (red) version does have it.  They even put those dopey red "explicit" boxes next to every song.  As far as I can tell, the songs are the same length and indeed the same songs until you get down to the bonus stuff, so it doesn't seem as if the bonus material triggered that since all the songs are tagged as explicit and not just the bonus ones.

text: *Gee, maybe that's why I posted it in the Talk page and not in the actual article.  If it's not Hetfield, it's someone doing a damn good imitation. KyuzoGator 04:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm almost positive the only vocalist on Hatredcopter is Brendon Small, doing vocals for both of the characters Pickles and Nathan Explosion. 134.29.33.13 15:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

text: *Okay then, do me a favor.  Listen to "Pickles" on Hatredcopter, then listen to "Pickles" on Kill You.  Not the same singer, ain't no way.  "Pickles" is not a real person...he is a character in a cartoon, and it is not inconceivable that two different people are protraying that character's voice.  I don't know if the other vocalist on Hatredcopter is Hetfield, because the liner notes credit it to "Pickles."  It wouldn't be the first time a star did an uncredited cameo on an album. KyuzoGator 18:56, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *In the linear notes, it credits Brendon Small (first of all "BRENDON" not "Brendan") with All Vocals, Guitars, Bass Guitars and Keyboards. So for the actual artist, it's Brendon Small and the only other artists on the album are Gene Hoglan (drums) and Emilie Autumn (violin on "Detharmonic") and then for the virtual artist Pickles does sing in "Hatredcopter", "Kill You" and Snakes n' Barrels. "Kill You" and Snakes n' Barrels are a given, but then as was stated above, it does say Pickles in the "Hatredcopter" lyrics. FallenWings47 18:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *There's a reason why this conversation is taking place on the Talk page instead of the main article.  To my knowledge no one has posted that Hetfield is the other vocalist on Hatredcopter.  I've never claimed it is Hetfield, I said it is either him or someone doing an awesome imitation of him.  My problem is with the people saying "it was Pickles" when Pickles is not a real person.  Pickles is a character whose voice could be (and is, as far as I'm concerned) provided by several different people.  The singing voice of "Pickles" has so far varied from one like Hetfield's (Hatredcopter), to one like Axl Rose (Snakes n' Barrels) to a really high-pitched one (Kill You).  It very well could be BRENDON (sorry to offend you with my spelling) Small doing all three voices, but the fact remains that Pickles' voice varies dramatically pretty much every time "he" sings. KyuzoGator 15:09, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *This is a message for KyuzoGator. Your first comment in this section was that you were "about 98% sure that the other vocalist in Hatredcopter is James Hetfield from Metallica." It was then pointed out that Brendon Small does all the vocals for this song, acting as both Nathan Explosion and Pickles (two cartoon characters from the show). I referred to one performance as "the Pickles vocals" in order to clarify which of the two performances by Brendon Small I was talking about. I never meant to imply Pickles was a real person, and I refuse to believe you thought you were doing me a favor by explaining this. Also, all vocals attributed to Pickles were performed by Brendon Small. It may be shocking that these performances were so different, but keep in mind that he does work as a voice actor and it's his job to be able to perform various voices. In your lower-most comment on this page, you said that, to your knowledge, "no one has posted that Hetfield is the other vocalist on Hatredcopter." But you had said you were 98% sure, which is arguably a misleading comment. There's no way you could have been 98% sure. You simply thought it sounded like James Hetfield. Others have repeatedly stated that it is Brendon Small and James Hetfield does not appear on the album. There are multiple characters that give vocal performances on this album, but there is only one living, breathing person. And it is not James Hetfield. It is Brendon Small. 134.29.6.7 19:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

text: *KyuzoGator, you're perfectly entitled to your opinion.  However, this is an encyclopedia.  It deals with provable facts.  we can't use "It reeely reeely reeely sounds like hetfield" is Original Research which is not welcome on WP.  If you can find a reputable source claiming that it's Hetfield, we can say "the liner notes state it's Pickles, but according to adultswim.com it's Hetfield working under a pseudonym to dodge the Musicians Guild" or something like that.  And yeah, we all know these entities are fictional, but much of the liner notes are written within the realm of the fictional universe so it's just easier to discuss things that way, ease up. (and for what it's worth, I don't think it sounds remotely like Hetfield (old or new school Metallica).  I think it sounds like Brendon Smalls doing the voice of pickles.  He's used a very similar voice many times in music for Home Movies as well.) -Verdatum (talk) 17:11, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Two-disc Special Edition 

message: I have heard a rumor that the song "Kill You" (on the second disc of the deluxe) is written and performed by the fictional band from the show, Snakes `N'Barrels. In the linear notes part, it credits the song to  "Pickles, Snizzy Snazz Bullets, Tony Thunderbottom, and Sammy Twinskins." I don't remember whether these are the names of the band members from Snakes N' Barrels, but is there any citing in the actual CD booklet?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by My friends call me capn (talk • contribs) 01:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I checked amazon.com, and it would seem that all of the deluxe editions have not been sold, not even to those who pre-ordered back on the first that it first came on amazon.com. It would seem that Williams Street Records has not given many (if any) of them to amazon.com. The page on the target website has been completely removed.

thread_title:  Deluxe Edition not selling anymore! 

message: This section should be edited and probably cited. Someone could cite their MySpace message saying the Deluxe Edition sold out on the first day, if that is what it says. Also, the current text implies that someone bought a copy for $300, which I find hard to believe. When I looked on amazon.com last night, the lowest price was $79, and I doubt anyone would actually buy one for $300 if there are lower prices listed. 134.29.33.13 15:20, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree there should be a citation of some kind there.  Certainly someone has or will soon write an article about it in a newspaper or in an industry mag like Rolling Stone or one of the many featuring the word Guitar in the title.  I can believe that some idiot with no patience blew $300 on it - look at the silly amount of cheese people were dropping on iPhones a couple months ago.  But regardless of how believable it is or is not, we should still cite something to substantiate it. Highonhendrix 15:21, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I do believe someone could spend $300 on it, but what I meant was that the lowest price on amazon.com was $79 and the highest was $300. Just because someone listed it for $300 doesn't mean he's going to get it. If you could pay $79 or $300, what one would you buy? I could list one on amazon for $800 dollars, but that doesn't mean it's a realistic price. 134.29.33.15 18:10, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Amazon is a mainstream retailer, they don't jack up prices just because there's a shortage.  Especially not when the album is available on iTunes for like $10, what would be the point? KyuzoGator 19:00, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Highest charted Death Metal? 

message: Sometimes reviewers will say that a band is death metal while some others would use their specific genre. The problem with this is the band is wrongfully called death metal because the reviewer (e.g. an MTV one) doesn't know there's an actual genre out there called melodic death metal and the failure for them to recognize this is the very reason for my edit. I'm well aware of WP:OR but when an "expert" says Nile are death metal doesn't mean they are just so. They have their specific place in death metal with their own subgenre and it would be extremely misleading. I'll let you know I'm not trying to "fly over the facts" as I've been here for quite some time maybe longer than 'you' have though 'you' may have the same thoughts but recognized it as "OR" 137.124.9.20 (talk) 23:44, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Naturally, some sources my be wrong.  But the solution to that is to find other sources that express the alternative view.  Personally, I think subgenre pidgeonholing is very silly.  It's metal.  What kind of metal?  It's Dethklok metal.  That's good enough for me. -Verdatum (talk) 15:00, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
