I've heard rumor that Mudvayne is also involved with this show...Disturbed and Slipknot are enough reason, but if that Rumor is true and if they can land some good Artists, I'll save up and be at this show.

Didn't know they could cram so much gay into one tour.

[K.I.N.G]

:lol:

While none of these band's are confirmed, there rumored to be part of the tour:

Sevendust
Machine Head
Mastodon
Dragonforce
Five Finger Death Punch
Suicide Silence
Walls of Jericho

Since it's been said that the tour will have 2 stages, I wouldn't be surprised if all bands where part of the tour. More updates as they come.

Sevendust is still around? I thought they disbanded wow.

I'd definitely go with all these bands playing. Not a fan of Sevendust or Walls of Jericho though, and Dragonforce's only good album was Sonic Firestorm, the other two albums are just the same song over and over again.

[K.I.N.G]

Machine Head
Mastodon
Walls of Jericho

From that list are all awesome, the rest are gay.

I'm not going to this, but the Taste of Chaos Tour that was mentioned at top is something I'm going to because they have thre J-rock bands playing, more notably Mucc and D'espairs Ray.

If Mudvayne is really apart of he show, like saidat top from rumor, I've got to say that I love their music, but when I saw them live, they weren't that good. Slipknot is pretty good live, though.

Every Dragonforce album is the same song over and over again, Sonic Firestorm included.

That said, their debut was their best.

I was wrong, they found a way to cram even more gay into this tour.

Dragonforce is lame live.. the only band worth seeing is Machine Head.

[dead breed]

Dragonforce suck.

I heard Slipknot has a new album coming out this year...any truth to this?

Correct. Due out in Augest, hence the date of the tour. I remember I think Joe Jordison said it was gonna be darker then what they've done before, so it'll be interesting to hear. Persionally, I'm wondering what Corey will look like with his mask since he's now cut his hair off:

Slipknot is excited to be a part of it, and to be able to bring the new chapter of our history to the masses. We are already working, building and designing a new show. We cannot wait. We cannot lose. Get ready for Mayhem!"
