I just got an e-mail from aloud.com about slipknot/slayer gigs in the UK:



Slipknot and Slayer - Together!!!

It's the ultimate extreme metal line up, both legendary artists
have
teamed up for what will be Slipknot's first UK arena tour.
Tickets
are on sale now for the following venues -

Glasgow SECC on Oct 3
Birmingham NIA on Oct 5
Manchester Evening News Arena on Oct 6
Cardiff International Arena on Oct 8

Tickets for Hammersmith Apollo gigs on Oct 9 & 10 will be on
sale
later today- keep checking Aloud.con for tickets access



Anyone else heard about it? If so does anyone know who the main act is? Better not be slipknot...

Sounds like it's a co-headlining tour, ie, they'll take turns, but I can't imagine Slipknot wanting to go on after Slayer. I'm pretty sure Slipknot have done an arena tour over here before as well. I might go to the Manchester one just for Slayer.

i might go , but i heard there was gonna be a Deep Purple gig soon, so i'd prob go to that instead as i ve seen slayer and slipknot before

Slipknot had better play first or else all they will have to play to is a bunch of beat up tini bopper goths after the Slayer set.

It would piss me off to see Slayer open for Slipknot. Then again, if They were opening then you wouldn't have to see slipCOCK waiting for SLAYER, you could just leave.
But god, Slayer has been around what? 18 more years than slipknot...? Thats just gay to possibly see Slayer opening for that homosexual of a band. SLIPKNOT WILL DIE.

at least Slipknot puts on an entertaining show, regardless of how much they suck.

CANNIBALCORPSE, you are the man. I'm going to Edgefest to see Slayer and Suffocation, and to kick some poser ASS. Transient might go too, but I think his mommy won't let him. Just kidding with you Sam.

Slayer and Suffocation \m/ that sounds awesome.
The only reason I'm going to Ozzfest this year is to see Slayer.
GODDAMNIT, SlipCOCK will be there too! Theres no escaping them!
Atleast Slayer will be after Slipknot

What are you talking about? Its just 5 people playing crappy music and 4 other people prancing around like gay wads doing nothing.

And yes, I've seen them before. My little Cousin loves Slipknot and he wanted me to come to the show with him, so I did.
Well now his favorite bands are Nile and Suffocation. I've done my job

Frostbitten? Lol!

I'll look out for a guy with a Zyklon beanie, i'm not really distinguishable, i have long hair (odd blonde colour), i'll be dressed all in black, jeans, tee-shirt, Doc Martins and will look pissed off for no reason I'll probably be on "drugs" by then as well, i'm going to see the shrink on friday lol.

Actually! I've just found a shite pic of me! It makes me look like a spotty, stoned Finn lmao!

Dyvim

they're coming to holland aswell. 45 damn euros

I showed a picture of George Fisher to my mum and she thought it was me I thought that was pretty cool!
I never asked, which show are you going to? I'm gonna be in Manchester, i've no idea where else they are.

Daniel Johns is the singer from Silverchair - they used to be my favourite band when I was about 13 or 14!

I'm going to the Manchester show too. We're in the seats to the right as you look at the stage. I think we're quite close up to the stage too, so it should be a great view *fingers crossed*.

I'm standing so I can get the shit beaten outta me in a pit with my mate Alan, he's like three times my size so i'm gonna stand behind him when the shit hits the fan

When I was 14 my favorite band where Nile and they still hold that place, well joint first with Akercocke. I've been into metal for ages, before anyone else at my high school anyway, i was always the psycho with long hair, it's fucking great \m/

SLAYER!!!!!!!!!

Hahaha! I was 14 the best part of 10 years ago though, I'm alowed to be all retro!

__________________

Ha, thats me at my schoo, with long hair, screaming 'SLAYER' during assemblies.. Yep, just me and Transient. The rest are a bunch of posers.

__________________

Lol, i'm rather retro myself, I listen to all the 60's stuff, Hawkwind, Led Zep, The Doors. Fucking great days were those



I was already metal by the time i was 12, blame my father for that
At least it made everyone i didn't like stay away from me, otherwise i would have cracked mwuahahahah!

I just saw them, and yep, that sums it up, haha, wads. Two of them jump up on their 4-drum set and pose doggie-style, and 2 of them used ecectronics and then jumped around like homos. Everyone was tired from Slayer anyway. I watched 2 of Slipknots songs, and left the arena. Lame beyond belief. I cannot explain it in words. Fuckin' A. Hey, at least they made their own genre- Analcore.

Slipknot went on after Slayer? Those 9 masked bastards haven't got a single ounce of respect.

__________________

What do you mean? They were nice enough to let a new up and coming band like Slayer play one their tour, even though slayer sucks.

__________________

honestly i like Slipknot, but them playing after Slayer is absolute horseshit. i dont even like Slayer (god damn im gonna get flamed... i like slipknot but not slayer). i mean i respect Slayer and all, just not my cup o tea. oh well what im tryin to say it just what everyone else has been sayin.... Slayer opening for Slipknot is bullshit.

EDIT: is slayer opening, or is there a band before them? somehow having a band before them doesnt seem QUITE as bad

[QUOTE=johnmansley]Yeah, how dare they suggest that Slayer are as legendary as Slipknot.[/QUOTE


Slapnuts oops Slipknot is only legendary among the gay fagity wana bee goths pousers. You dont need 9 fags to make shitty music. A fucking 2 year old could make better music. Goddamnit Slayer shouldnt even go on tour with those fags. It just pisses me off.

It's pretty bad, but Slayer sound so much like Slipknot these days that I wouldn't even complain about it. As bad as their writing has been the past 8 or 9 years, though, they still kick ass live. Just felt the need to offset that with something positive. I'm not sure why.

Dude, if you're gonna swear please check your spelling... it makes you look like a gay fagity wana bee goths pouser

It's just been announced that Mastodon are to be the support for this tour. Excellent!
