I would totally NOT hit it. Just look at those sharp chords. They are way below my standards, man.

/turns on The Last Waltz

Nice, subby. Why does Slayer not go out with someone of their own caliber? Marilyn Manson's only redeeming feature is all the hot chicks dressed up in slutty, erotic clothing who go to his shows. And I don't even know who the fark that other band is, but that's one of the gayest names I've heard for a band in years.

 
Karma Chameleon 2009-01-28 05:07:43 PM  
Haven't really listened to Manson since Mechanical Animals, but I would imagine he puts on a pretty good live show. Haven't heard anything to the contrary.

Bullet for my Valentine - I've never listened to them, but based on the name alone I would imagine their fans are everything that is wrong with Manson fans times 10.

Slayer....meh.

FTA: On the Hot Topic side stage, Cannibal Corpse, Job For A Cowboy, Behemoth, Black Dahlia Murder and Whitechapel will round out the bill.

Hot Topic...Cannibal Corpse? Behemoth? Did I miss something?

Having seen one of the last Slayer/Manson shows.

Manson outplayed Slayer on showmanship alone. And I don't even like Manson's music... I'm a metal head.

Slayer either had a REALLY bad sound tech, or their music doesn't translate to an arena - which I highly doubt.

Manson on the other hand, was a very pleasant surprise. I'd see him again. Slayer? Not so much.

Imagine the faces of the mallcore kids when they see CC and Behemoth. They'll shiat themselves.

uhh last time I saw manson and slayer together the only good thing was slayer, used to be a manson fan but man this last cd was horrible and he was even messing up his own tunes wtf....

You're totally right about Slayer fans being dicks subby. My entire life I've heard that Slayer was the ultimate band by it's fans, even in a discussion that had nothing to do with metal. By this point I just can't care anymore.

 
Wettner 2009-01-28 05:39:56 PM  
I remember when Bullet for My Valentine was called Jeff Killed John and they sounded like Hoobastank. Link (pops)

Not since they started keeping their Bible in a pool of blood so that none of it's lies can affect them.

BFMV farking rock. I saw them this summer. they did alot of screamo shiat but the are really getting more away from that and just doing some good farking metal now.

/scream aim fire is a great record
//the do some kick ass cover songs too
///slayer probably created screamo, let's face it. it isn't like tom sings or anything.

This must be the followup to the "Let's pick on the goth kids and see if we can make them cry" tour I attended the last time Manson and Slayer double billed.

Manson = lost me after he left Nothing (i.e. after Antichrist Superstar)

Slayer = ehhhh not so much. They don't suck, but I don't own any of their music.

Who the FARK is Bullet For My Valentine, why is there name so horrible?

Came into here to basically say this. Saw them both last year and hadn't ever seen either before. I wasn't a super fan of either and figured *insert shoulder shrug* - why not. I came away with the impression that Slayer was awesome and Manson was old and busted. Slayer had a super high energy set, good sound and just old-fashioned rocked out. Manson had a lot of props and scene changes which dragged out the set. He also just played it all out like he was just going through the motions. The show just felt flat to me and made wish that maybe I should have seen him back in the day when he was a little fresher.

Their name is horrible because their music is horrible. The fans of the band will probably cry when Cannibal Corpse or Behemoth takes the stage.

I fell asleep during a live Slayer concert. Like seriously, I was on the ground sleeping.

I would love to see Manson live. Bullet, no interest at all.

Do you all really think that just because someone might enjoy BFMV, they wouldn't like any other type of music? Or is that your way of pretending your favorite band is too good for anyone who dares listen to a band you dont like?

I only really know Tears Dont Fall by Bullet but hell even I've listened to Cannible Corpse before too.

/in general I don't care much for either band.
//rather listen to Manson even.

Went to Manson/Slayer in 07, MM easily outdid Slayer. I'm a fan of old school Slayer, but their live show was boring as hell. Mayhem is making a huge mistake if Slayer closes over MM.

Went to last years Slayer/Marilyn Manson's tour and didn't like it at all. Love Slayer and was once a HUGE fan of Manson (in case you didn't notice) and I was bored the entire time. Slayer's sound was way off and Manson was just goofy on stage- he's totally lost his edge and his musical taste. Terribly disappointing.

I saw Slayer on their last tour. They came with Manson and you could really tell they didn't want to be there. I've seen Slayer twice now, the first time I saw them they came with Children of Bodom, Mastodon, and some other bands and they were phenomenal. It was the best show I'd ever seen. When they came with Manson its like the life was sucked out of them, they came out mumbled a few things to the crowd and played. Maybe it was all the pseudo-goth kids but the mosh pits even sucked.

I really couldn't tell you the name of any other song by culture club.

FWIW, my favorite band is probably Tool, so love, hate, or whatever.

seriously. I remember the first time I saw Behemoth...it was like a sledgehammer to the face. I've seen Cannibal Corpse several times and each time, I'm scared Corpsegrinder is going to jump into the crowd and eat everyone. Great shows put on by both bands.

Ugh. I wish I could still like Tool, but it's just the same horseshiat over and over.

Looks like Maynard is even sick of Tool... or at least the fans.

 
Karma Chameleon 2009-01-29 12:50:52 AM  
I hadn't seen that. Pretty funny stuff.

I'd say he's definitely sick of the fans. I know I am. "WoooooOO! Play Aenima! Woooooooo! Play Vicarious! Woooooooooo! "

On the 10,000 days tour I saw them seven times, and he made quite a few comments to the douchebags making noise during the Wings For Marie songs.

 
Sherjo311 2009-01-29 02:32:25 AM  
i'll be on board for this - but to see manson again. saw him in new orleans in 2000 or 2001, can't remember which. best goddamn show i've ever seen. everything he does on stage makes you question why an artist would hide behind a microphone through the whole show.

when he started ripping apart bibles and throwing the pages into the audience, i may have pooped a little.

i guess slayer would be cool too. don't really listen to them. bullet for my valentine has some sick stuff out. 4 words to choke upon has a great riff in it. singer is just a tad too emo though.

I suppose I could have been clearer, I don't care to acknowledge their point that "Slayer is the ultimate band in the universe, regardless of what criteria you are using" because it's like arguing with a broken clock about what time it is.

no, it's AKA the 'childish stage'. as everyone likes to dress up in monster and goth shiat.
