HEVYDEVY FORUMS

Ever since the new site went up and Devin made that big post on his plans for the future; he mentioned he "ultimately plan[s] on making symphonies and musicals at some point".
I've always thought the Ziltoid album would make a SICK and ridiculous musical.
I can't stand musicals (save Across the Universe and maybe even Little Shop of Horrors) but a Ziltoid musical would be amazing.
whaddya think?

I would totally pay to see "Ziltoid on Ice"

i third that!!! ziltoid rules! and there should be free coffee!!

Now it seems that a Ziltoid musical isn't that far away! Someone here in Finland has offered to fund a musical of Ziltoid! I liiiiike it!

Yeah Axxion you beat me to it. That's pretty cool

The Dev said in an interview:
"So Finland offered us a substantial chunk of money to do the whole album, with screens and a choir and performers and the whole works. I’m really excited about that."

That was a real bomb. Really, that sounds so cool that Dev comes to this dark 'n grim place. and plays a musical! Damn! Maybe a DTP gig also?

Hahaha no way, that's gonna be too cool.
Hopefully makes a DVD release, as there's no way I could get to Finland for that.

So extra set, too But which festival?

That is way too awesome to even comprehend... two sets... holy shit!

They probably wont announce which festival it is going to be at this date, but they could at least tell us when the official announcement is going to be?

Who do you mean by "they"?

But usually the metal-oriented festivals in Finland announce their line-ups in time for FME, which is one month from now.

"They"= The people behind the event. DT himself, organizers etc.

And i'm guessing this will not be on any "pure" metal-oriented festivals... Tuska is a maybe, but i personally think that Provinssi, Ruisrock or ilosaarirock is more likely. (I'll throw in qstock just for amusement.)

Once a date is announced me and some friends will seriously be looking at some roadtrip options for this.

Can I hitchhike to Finland in the boot of your car?
