This Just In: Fans of Cartoon Metal Band Dethklok Line Up for Hours @ The Palladium

We've seen the future of rock'n'roll, and it is a fictional metal band.

This picture below is the line at 3:35pm in front of the Hollywood Palladium for the double bill of Mastodon (a real metal band) and Dethklok (a fictional metal band from the Adult Swim Metalocalypse cartoon).

When the fans were asked who they were lining up this early to see, they unanimously replied,

“DETHKLOK!!!!!”
