DEVILDRIVER To Support VENOM On U.S. Tour - Mar. 10, 2006
DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara (ex-COAL CHAMBER) has told MTV.com that the band will hit the road late spring for seven U.S. shows in support of VENOM.
"I'm doing it just to get the shirt," he joked.
While Fafara said his summer's still wide open — he believes DEVILDRIVER will tour in July and August as part of a big U.S. festival, but confirmed that the quintet "won't be doing Ozzfest and we won't be doing Sounds of the Underground." He added that there will be another headlining run kicking off in mid-September, with dates scheduled into early December. No accompanying bands have been confirmed for the trek yet, but Dez promises another brutal bill.
Before the year's out, Fafara hopes to have at least enough new songs written for DEVILDRIVER's third album, which he said they could start recording by this time next year. He said they've written four songs while they've been on the road and they're "heavy and brutal with lots of hooks, but definitely more technical — there's going to be a lot more riffage, because we want to kick it up for this next album."

yeah, I saw that and was pretty fucking disgusted. I'm defenitly going to this tour though, no question. I need to see Venom at least once in my life.

i just read that and was about to post the same thing
[Mar 10,2006 11:13am - HailTheLeaf ""]
fucking christ, I hve to sit thru them to see Venom? what has the world come to?
[Mar 10,2006 11:15am - litacore ""]
I had a feeling something like this would happen.
Neverthless, seeing Venom is my holy grail. Fuckin' Wham! could open and I'd still go.
*jitterbug*
[Mar 10,2006 11:16am - Moran NLI ""]
I would love to see Wham! open for Venom.
[Mar 10,2006 11:23am - ninkaszi ""]
those guys do not deserve to open for venom. i knew the bassist and one of the guitarists years ago when they lived in MA and they were total nu-metal queers. now they date rape chicks in their shitty touring mini-van.
[Mar 10,2006 11:26am - wade nli ""]
sad, sad news. fucking ridiculous.
but as other have indicated, this should be no surprise. Metal is a business to a lot of people.
[Mar 10,2006 11:27am - wade nli ""]
"riffage" haha. "kick it up" HAHAHA.
[Mar 10,2006 12:05pm - litacore ""]
like MTV have even heard of Venom (except through Dave Grohl)
[Mar 10,2006 12:14pm - HailTheLeaf ""]
hahahaha, no shit right?

music sucks.

What a fucking disgrace. I'd rather Wham! opened up than Devildriver.

No, my band has that market cornered.

and where does Dave Grohl get off consistently releasing non-metal influenced music over and over again when he seems to hold this flag for great, classic metal all the time?
[Mar 10,2006 1:02pm - litacore ""]
apparently, it's expedient for him to keep the la-la-love-you pop going.
Mind you, I like a about 3/4 of the Probot CD, but it's really just a millionaire slumming

Mykus is from Athol (or Ashby???), so I hope he persuades Cronos to AT LEAST play Worcester.

It's shit like this that makes me feel like the music industry is a big fucking joke. More so than I already do.
[Mar 10,2006 1:22pm - bvroingBVORINGbvoring ""]
Devildogdriver is quite non metal period!
[Mar 10,2006 1:24pm - litacore ""]
well, it totally is a joke
Dez just knows whose pole to smoke. And he smokes often.
[Mar 10,2006 1:25pm - wade nli ""]
everyone should turn around while devil driver plays and make not a sound.
[Mar 10,2006 1:26pm - jrb2971nli ""]
I'll help mug DD and put Hekseri in there anyday!! Who is with me?
[Mar 10,2006 1:42pm - litacore ""]
hahaha, everyone knows that Venom slags their openers anyways...
[Mar 10,2006 3:01pm - paganmegan ""]
Its still disgusting
[Mar 10,2006 3:06pm - Nash ""]
Damn, why must Devildriver get thrown on so many good shows. Everytime i've seen them they've gotten almost no crowd reaction. I met the bassist last year and even he said that he doesn't like the music that much.
[Mar 10,2006 3:34pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""]
Quit whining and just save up for a trip to Europe. There's really no other alternative if you want to see major bands without sitting through total queers.
I have $52 in my Euro-fund right now. At this rate I'll be able to see Venom at Wacken 2014
TAKE THAT FAGS
[Mar 10,2006 3:36pm - dreadkill ""]
boo
[Mar 10,2006 3:38pm - pam nli ""]
Why is Devildriver opening for everyone all of a sudden? They must suck a mean dick.
[Mar 10,2006 3:40pm - BornSoVile ""]
let us collectively take action and throw shit at them, perhaps we can boo them off stage.
[Mar 10,2006 3:42pm - pam nli ""]
I saw that happen to American Head Charge when they opened for Slayer. It was fucking hilarious.
[Mar 10,2006 3:45pm - BornSoVile ""]
everyone has the right attitude about it, so why not? the only thing that could stop us is nick cigarettes telling us we're on a witch hunt.
[Mar 10,2006 3:49pm - pam nli ""]
I never turn down an excuse to hurl projectiles at shitty numetal bands. Ever.
[Mar 10,2006 3:50pm - eddie ""]
why..... who the fuck set up this tour?
[Mar 10,2006 7:05pm - pam nli ""]
jack osbourne? just a guess.

i booed them til i lost my voice when they opened for opeth a couple years ago.
[Mar 10,2006 8:44pm - BestialOnslaught ""]
Let's hope an obsessed COAL CHAMBER fan charges the stage and offs Dez for breaking up that band.
[Mar 10,2006 11:20pm - i_am_not_me ""]
And I shall proudly do this once again.

I highly doubt Venom are gonna play a show in New England.What else is new with shitty opening bands.Take Slayer for example,they havnt had a good opener since 1991(Testament)

Things the world needs less of 1) devildogdriver 2) numetal 3) metalcore, screamo, lameo 4) religious zealots
Now how do we start getting rid of this crap?
[Mar 11,2006 11:02am - Ballsdeep ""]
Devildriver must be paying Venom. Thats the only way this is even remotely exceptable.
