message: Was Pickles' name different in the planning stages? I've listened to an old version of the opening theme (the one titled "deathclock final theme", I think from Brendon's website but I could be wrong), and it really doesn't sound like he's saying Pickles... sounds more like Alec... or Alex....

message: There seems to  be an issue with repetitive trivia between this page and the episode list.

thread_title:  Skwisgaar 

message: It appears to be implied that Toki Wartooth and Skwisgaar Skwigelf are actually brothers during their "Mothers hates you most" comedy routine as the Brothers of Deception during the "Dethkomedy" episode.
:Then again, it was a routine. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 20:24, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but to be fair one could have drawn a logical conclusion that they were brothers based on the very nature of the routine they chose. They did a parody of the Smothers Brothers who were actually real-life brothers. It has been already dismissed with the episode "Dethfam" that Toki and Skwisgaar are not brothers. --carpeNoctem 09:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: the pickles/townsend resemblance and threat-of-lawsuit (:P) is relevant enough to remain in the article. however, i feel that fan-based opinions on who the other characters are should be left out of the trivia, and removed if they're added again without a citable source. especially if it's along the lines of "most fans think [he] is based on [him], yet other fans think that [he] is based on [him], or possibly [him]". that led to the outrageously large, and useless, section that was entirely made up of opinions taken from a myspace group thread. cma 08:51, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

message: do we really need lyrics. i don't think wikipedia is the correct place for that. maybe it would a better idea to have an article devoted to the actual band, and put the lyrics there. but this page is about a tv show. ~~Patrick~~ 04:45, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: i agree. i don't believe that the lyrics are necessary, and considering the fact that the (mostly correct and misspelled) lyrics are easily accessable by watching your TV with closed captioning on, or elsewhere on the internet by searching google. they're not needed here. cma 19:52, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I very much like the idea of splitting off a new article about the band. I think the shows probably becoming popular enough to warrant it (26,000+ friends on their myspace, several press mentions), and it would clean up this article a lot. --KharBevNor 03:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I agree but would just like to point out that this particular show is not close-captioned and it would be nice to see accurately transcribed lyrics appearing somewhere to the songs, because some of these guesses at them being made are horrible. But since wikipedia is a user-edited reference, there is no way to know how long the accurate lyrics would last until someone changed to make them inaccurate again. -- carpeNoctem 20:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  lyrics necessary? 

message: Statement's in the article such as:
"Skwisgaar seems to be the member of the the band to get lots of woman"
"he was prescribed medicinal marijuana as a child for "kiddie glaucoma."
are based on statements made by the characters which are taken out of context and probably not entirely true within the Metalocalypse universe.  Better alternatives would be something along the lines of:
"on occasion Skwisgaar likes to boast about his prowess with women"
"which he claimed was because he "grew up smoking government weed every day" due to suffering from "kiddie glaucoma".

message: I thought this guy was their lawyer, not their manager. -- unknown user
I've been calling him their advisor. He always seems to be advising them on financial, business. and personal matters and making connections and calls for them and assisting them. I highly doubt a lawyer would have sent two men to their deaths, he would have created a court case. Can we find a term for him that we can all agree on? I like Advisor.  --carpeNoctem 09:18, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It appears that everyone seems to want to go with Manager. That works for me too. I just want it to be a consistent term so I can know what to name him at the tv.com Metalocalypse guide. --carpeNoctem 07:33, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

message: As per the tag on the "List of characters in Metalocalypse" page, I created a Metalocalypse subcategory under the "Animated television series", "2006 television program debuts",  "2000s TV shows in the United States", and "Shows on Adult Swim" categories. The main article, the character list, the episode list, Brendon Small, Victor Brandt, and Mark Hamill are all there. Please direct discussion here. FinalMinuet 16:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I believe that this television show should have a navigation template. How do you add one?
Also, I believe we should create episode-specific articles. I have already made one from the first episode. We should do it for all of them.

message: would you support Metalocalypse trivia. its up for deletion and i feel its relivant
:By definition, trivia is unimportant.  You're gonna have trouble with that one on Wikipedia.  The way to ensure that the information stays in the article is to incorporate it into an existing section or make a new section with some theme other than 'trivia'. MGlosenger 02:01, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: i agree with both. theres a lot of information about metalocalypse that would be lost. but "metalocalypse trivia" just doesn't seem like a decent enough header. i mean, this is an encyclopedia. how about "Metalocalypse References" "References in Metalocalypse" or, the idea i put forth, how about individual pages for each episode, someone did it, but got deleated. if we had an individual page for each episode, the trivia wouldn't seem as big, cause it would obviously be split up into 19 parts. and if we had pages we could put more inofrmation. like longer plot lines, screen shots, ect. Patrick (talk) 03:12, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think individual episode pages is an excellent idea. A lot of shows have that, and it would make things a lot more cohesive in general. Karpsmöm 03:34, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: The person who last removed the redirect said that "once they release an album" they should be considered a "real" band (whatever "real" means in this context). Since a Dethklok album hasn't been released yet, I've restored the redirect.

message: In the song list it has "Blood Ocean" as a "limited MP3 release on Dethklok's official MySpace"
but if you go to the page you can't download the song, so I would say this was never release. Correct me if I am wrong but I think it may need some rewording. --Peavey5150 21:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

message: There's something I feel should be mentioned. I've noticed that half of the time (Maybe even most of the time) Dethklok DOESN'T wear corpse paint during their performances. I haven't counted, but there are a significant number of episodes where the band performs without makeup, some examples being Dethtroll, Bluesklok, and even the season finale The Metalocalypse has Begun.
Secondly, the article doesn't specifically say what demon traits the band has demonstrated. I'm not an expert on wikipedia standards, but I don't see the purpose of mentioning something like that, but not giving examples. 24.255.163.136 23:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
