And the superior European lineup rears its ugly head again! Lamb of God and Mastadon; I'd love to see them with Metallica.

LOG is huge in Europe - I would have to guess. They are very popular in the U.S. and they are becoming popular all over the world.

It's like when I saw LoG opening up for Slipknot a few years back. Yeah, Slipknot's bigger and makes more money, but I think LoG is several times better. And when I saw Slayer opening up for Slipknot, that just seemed like a disgrace to me. Slayer are legends, but they're stuck opening for other bands just because they're not as popular.
