The two bands each played full sets, with BLEEDING THROUGH opening all shows. In an August 2007 interview with The Dallas Morning News, SLAYER guitarist Kerry King stated about the then-in-progress tour with MANSON, "I haven't seen any fistfights or anything yet. But there's a lot of gray area between our fans and Marilyn's. We both mine the same depths. But you can always pick out his fans — they're the freaky-dressed ones — and you can always tell who our fans are; they're the simply dressed ones." He added, "There was this girl in the middle of the last show that had her fingers in her ears the whole time we were on. I [expletive] loved it!" Last year's Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival tour featured SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED on the main stage alongside DRAGONFORCE and MASTODON. In addition, the tour had two second stages: one sponsored by Jägermeister and featuring AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH and 36 CRAZYFISTS. An additional second stage featured MACHINE HEAD, BLACK TIDE, SUICIDE SILENCE, THE RED CHORD, and WALLS OF JERICHO. Rockstar Energy Mayhem is produced by Warped founder Kevin Lyman, his partner on the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos tour John Reese, CAA's Darryl Eaton, and Jason Garner, Live Nation Chief Executive Officer of North American Music. |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 27,2009 2:45pm - arilliusbm ""] 100% Honest Question: Someone PLEASE explain to me why everyone likes Trivium. I've been dying to know what is so great about that band. Matt Heafy huffs cock and has an ego bigger than Oprah's ass on crack. It really kills me to no end that Trivium is the "new face of metal" and is considered one of the best "METAL" bands today. Absolutely absurd the recognition this band got. Right from the get-go people were talking about this band. |
