Oh noes... Michael Jackson sings without his nose better, though.

I think the ETC songs are the only Rock music I wouldn't mind listening to.
Aside from them, I listen to Rap & Hip-Hop.. So yeah, that's gotta be saying something, =p.

But then again it has a long way to go to match up with death metal.

They obviously try to act professional on stage because that makes it funnier, no one (including themselves) expects them to be as good as other bands out there.

I really hope they will give at least some clues about WoW movie. It supposed to be in the works but still no info

I'm kind of surprised Grubby and Moon are not in the tournament as well... Grubby took the first place prize one year..
Well, as shadowie said, it's just for fun. They aren't anything big, and the main reason people listen to them is because they're fans of Blizzard. It's just something they can do for fun, that will give us a little laugh..
Agreed. There was little information there last time, however there was a whole panel about it.. Perhaps more information this time.

Also, everyone already know the characters as animated. They would have to be really really good at casting a live action movie or they risk hurting the franchise. On the other hand a LOTR-style movie with Peter Jackson directing would be awesome

That would definitely be made of win. I think i'd be drooling if I saw that, =X.
But hmph, it'll be a live action movie, meaning real actors.

His name is Vladimir Kulich(he's from former Czechoslovakia) and made fairly good for a foreigner career in hollywood, mostly 3rd and 2nd plan roles in TV series and movies. The problem is that he's sorta old now though, so I don't think he could play non-corrupted young Arthas, but would fit perfectly as Lich King in the movie
