I'm really hoping that underground thrash bands get a shot at Mayhem, and some like Evile, Lazarus A.D. get to show off there music at festivals like this, Tired of the metalcore and nu-metal mayhem fest vibe there was last year.

Exodus should headline!!! get all those tools who like metal that is terrible like metalcore and like "metal" that should belong in warped tour instead. Mayhem should really focus on real metal if they want a better crowd. Korn headlining from the following year as Slayer. Comon now.

personally, i think a big and successful move on rockstar's part would be to surprise everyone with tool headlining. HORDES of ppl, like ES and myself, would pay w/e $$$ just to see them alone. i'm just saying. a man can dream =\

SODOM headlining would be an incredible festival, Bring in underground thrash likes, like you said Fueled by Fire, Warbringer, Lazarus A.D. That would be a sick festival, I don't get all the hype that comes from Tool. I never really got into them, and the way they can sell out arenas and venues is insane. Hopefully we get the new wave of thrash in there to just to spice up the genres Rockstar puts into these things. \m/

im thinking some Gojira, Testament, or even DevilDriver as the headliner! other bands that should jump on the list should be After The Burial, Witchery, Cavalera Conspiracy, Susperia, Between The Buried & Me, PsyOpus, and The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza. THAT would be a mayhem i would NEVER forget, not like with DragonForce or Atreyu or f***ing Gaywods (oops sorry, i spelt that wrong, Underoath).
