        … some metal band (Dethklok?) recording their song/filming their vid/having the concert on such a moon - the guitar solo intensifies as the band is lifted upwards by a soaring mountain, epicly, with lava flows.

          I think it’s funny that Dethklok is both a parody metal band and one of the best metal bands around. I don’t even really like metal and I love Dethklok.

            I would love to see them live. Brendon Smalls seems awesome.

              I found out the day of the concert that Dethklok and Baby Metal were playing in my city but I couldn’t make it. I’ve like Brendon Smalls since Home Movies.

            Well, I do like metal, but Dethklok was/is one of my easiest work music.

          that’s nothing compared to Disaster Area, who need to evacuate a whole planet due to their sound system

            I don’t like them. They usually phone their performance in.

      True!

      Going further - “tides” actually rip planets & stars fully apart (binary star systems, around black holes, yo mamma casually strolling through a galaxy).

        Io is the most volcanically active place in the solar system, by a long shot.
