Hello!! Thank you for doing this AMA!!

First question: I know you said that you won't be releasing lyrics, but is there any chance of a tab book for the new album? Or even like a DVD or video series?

Second, if you do tour, please hit Dallas, Texas!! That's not a question. Oops...

As an aside, I just wanted to say thank you for your music and for Metalocalypse. You are literally the reason I picked my guitar back up after ten years of not playing. I rewatched Metalocalypse last year and it inspired me, and working my way through the Dethklok tab books has made me a better player. It's made me excited about guitar, and I didn't think I'd ever feel that way again. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything you do.

I'm curious as to how the HSI picks their battles. I'm an Alien Blue user, so I've only seen a few of your replies, but I can see that you are passionate about what you do, and even if I don't agree with it I commend you for it.

However, I have a certain degree of cynicism because I think there are better things to spend your money and energy on. My best friend works at a Humane Society animal shelter, and I've seen her lament their lack of funds because that means good animals are sentenced to a death that could have been avoided. Is there no way to repurpose the seal hunt opposition to something that is struggling to survive (the shelters that protect the animals we spent hundreds of years breeding and creating)? Shelters everywhere (at least here in the States) are in the red because they're not getting the help they need, and it's the animals who suffer for it.

Another issue that is far more serious than the seal hunts are commercial farming and the treatment of their animals. From birth to death these animals suffer, but your organization chooses to interfere with practices that have been done to sustain a population of hard working, honest people for generations. The death is quick and these seals aren't suffering. Commercial farm animals are suffering their entire lives.

I think you are a wonderful, kind, good-hearted person, but I also think your passion is misplaced. Never lose your drive to create a better planet, but understand that there are far worse injustices being committed and they deserve your energy too.
