I saw Trivium with 36 Crazyfists and All that Remains in Green Bay about 2 months ago they have improved so much since when i saw them in 2007. Shogun is such an improvement, anyway Slipknot, Trivium, and Coheed & Cambria. Who the f*** thought that line up, it is always fun to be in a crowd have sh**ty bands like Coheed get bood off stage, hopefully bottled.

BrandedCFH420- McMuffin was the douche bag who tattled on me to Bori and got me banned. It is all good though, I am in a much better place now.
BlindGreed- Right on, thanks brother. I am looking forward to receiving it. I am wondering if it will be as good or better than Formation of Damnation.

Trivium are worse live than the first time I saw them. Even with all the soundchecks Corey's guitar was just bad - way too loud and it was tuned too low. And Heafy's singin was poor indeed.
Im seein Slipknot, Machine Head and Children of Bodom in a few weeks which is a much better line up than this. So me no care.

Indeed. Iv written about 570 words out of a supposed 2000, and have no diagrams or tables yet.
Its just a downer for me. Reli must get started on it... maybe l8r haha. I don't even know why im at uni - supposedly because a degree gets me a better job, but i reli dnt care, as long as i get a decent paying job that allows me to support my lifestyle, which is pretty modest at the moment. I likes my books, music, gigs and the odd bit of technology. What else do i reli need like.

Irish: You never know what fate lurks around the next corner my friend. Don't be so content to live in the moment because things can change in the blink of an eye. Still... A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do you know? How far into your degree are you and what is your major if you don't mind my asking?

Its my first year and at the moment im doin Geography as my major. Its all the same stuff that i did last year, and i have no motivation to do it over again. And because my girlfriend's been unwell i havent gotten a job yet, due to the fact i dnt know wen il have to go home or not, so i basically feel like im leachin off my parents ya know. I got my fees payed for through a grant but the accommodation doesnt come cheap. I mite get a job after chrimbo but I don't know whats gonna be happenin regardin my girlfriends surgery and crap.
Eh, its all stupid anyway as it'll likely pan out well enough in the end...

SO, GET YOUR LOSER A$$ES OVER THERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....LOLOLOL....jk on the loser comment!!

Definitely not dishing out money for this tour. This is an awful line-up. And since they're coming to the Allstate Arena, the cheap tickets will probably be around 45-50 and range to 80 or so. If there were bands that I liked replacing Coheed and Cambria and Trivium then I would think about it.
42. writes:
Coheed and Cambria don't fit on this bill at all. I'm sure they're trying to reach out to new fans but this is a little much. Either way, not going.
I did go to the Slipknot show at the All-State in Rosemont with LoG and Shadows Fall, my friend won floor tix from radio. It was a good show.
branded: that Ledyard band kind of sounds like Brand New Sin.

WTF!!! Anyone remember back in 200 when they toured with mudvayne and hatebreed. Those were the days. NOw almost 9 years later and we get codeen and fageria and the metallica wannabes trivium. LMAO!!! AFter iowa slipknot started selling out just to make as much money as possible. I am a fan but am losing more respect for them on a daily basis. This lineup is just to make money. I think the garden will sell out though. Me, I'll be at the metallica show on the 29 at nassau coliseum with machine and nowhere near this sh**. f*** this.

Johnny Boy: Sometimes it's both. If you are a band of good stature, you can request certain bands to go on tour with, or sometimes your managers will lump you in with the flavor of the month, or sometimes your record label will put a package together to do a whole bunch of promoting all at once. Alot of it comes down to money. The biggest draws at the biggest places equals the most money.

yeah so i had no idea who these retards coheed and cambria were, so i looked at their myspace...what the f**k is going on? is this a joke? honestly. these little 13 year old emos were bashing coheed even, lol. THEIR own fans cant believe it either, they prolly dont wanna even go cuz they know theyre prolly gonna get hurt lol.
i cant wait to hear the f**kin boos rain down all night for these idiots. i hope they are booed off stage every night.
sadly im gonna be there just cuz im a maggot but god what is wrong with slipknot? what happened to touring with chimaira, lamb of god, fear factory, machine head, mudvayne??????
i guess they are too good for those bands now.

Irish: I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner brother. I had to get security clearance for the Mushroomhead show tonight. It kind of came up at the last minute. Anyway's, it sounds like you have your plate pretty full and it's no wonder that you are feeling sh!ty about the whole situation. Like you said though, things usually have a way of working themselves out in the end. Maybe goegraphy isn't your deal man. I didn't end up in the field that I studied and more often then not, that is how it usually pans out. I don't know anyone from college that ended up in their field of study. Keep your horns up buddy \m/\m/

ABOUT f***IN' TIME! Slipknot is doing their own tour where they'll play a lot more than their 11 songs at Mayhem (which was still killer btw). Trivium is awesome. Haven't seen them since Family Values '07. I know they'll be great. One question. Coheed and Cambria? Huh? Whatever its not that bigga deal cuz Trivium and Slipknot are still gonna own. Can't wait for January 30th at Allstate. STAY METAL!

ur prolly the metal poser who likes f***ing dragonforce and alll that adventurous sh**! GO DIE
62. writes:
Haha very funny Metal Chick. Trivium are pop metal, and they did indeed take an awful lot from Slayer. And though I like Slipknot they are just not Gods. I don't agree with people who think they are complete crap but I do like most of the first three albums. However the new one was just ok all round - no particularly anthemish songs in it.
So why don't you get off your high horse and listen to some good music rather than popular crap that gets there solely by huge amounts of advertising. Try my profile for some decent bands if you wish.
And tellin someone to GO DIE - waoh real mature. Btw Dragonforce are in no way adventurous, but even if they were wats wrong with pushing the envelope?

At first, when i read this, I was like: What the hell? But then that brought me to the realization that this means trivi-gay wont be on the unholy alliance tour when slayer hits the states. So this is actually good news for me. :D
Oh, and Slayer sh**s all over trivium lol

so i am stupid i know i am but help me dudes whats so wrong with trivium i do like the latest album shogun
ok maybe they should not go with slipknot on tour but that were the money and suport for them is
and yeah the managers decide anyway

trivium is a great talented YOUNG band. they got signed at seventeen. maybe by a sh**ty label but then went to roadrunners at or before the age of twenty. i would really like to hear the reasons why people dont like trivium. see if they are a real musician or music enthusiasts opinion, or just another queer following the res. slipkont WAS a good band. first album sucked, iowa kicked ass, and subliminal verses had a few songs. coheed sucks. haha but this Could be a decent tour if trivium stops to focus that people payed good money to hear them play and not be egotistical a$$holes and just play for fun. i wold f***ing love to see lamb of god in concert. that is my closing sentence

The thing about music is what sounds good to one persons ear might not sound good to another. It would honestly be like me trying to tell people how great anchovies are.
I just don't understand why people don't like anchovies. I mean they just taste good. They go great with pizza. A wonderful compliment to green pepper and onion. I get pizza with anchovies almost every week. I think you are all just jumping on some "hate anchovy" train, and if you gave them a chance you would love them as much as I do. If you took the time to think for yourselves you'd order a pizza with anchovies right now and see how good they really are.
Probably sounds more sarcastic then I actually meant, but I think people can understand where I'm coming from. Music is all opinion, not a cut and dry, right or wrong scenario. We all like what we like or dislike what we dislike.
