Official Mayhem Fest Thread

I'm stoked for that one, my cousin lives right there on the water so I've only seen that venue from Penn's Landing, it looks like it will have a pretty sweet view of the city.

The pit is going to be insane when Indians starts. No way they don't play it.

This will be Anthrax's set at Mayhem for sure:

Earth On Hell
Caught In A Mosh
Got The Time
Fight Em Til You Can't
Antisocial
The Devil You Know
Indians
Metal Thrashing Mad
Madhouse
I Am The Law

It might not be the exact order but you're fooling yourself if you think the set will be anything but this. Maybe MTM, TDYK or another song gets rotated out for ATL or NFL at some shows. Unfortunately, that's about all the variety you're gonna get out of them on this tour or any other one for that matter. It's too bad they don't realise was a great back catalog they have with the Belladonna stuff. It's also very likely they're too lazy to try anything different and just wanna stick with the songs that got them the most success. Even though I don't recall GTT being that big of a song for them. There's no need for that to still get played over all the great songs that are on POT. But the song is simple and easy to play, so they stick with it so they don't have to try too hard.

Back in the day GTT was played on Mtv/Radio alot more than Antisocial or any other Anthrax song. Earth on Hell needs to go, there are better songs on that album imo.

Nope, it's the perfect opener.


GTT needs to go permanently. Replace it with literally anything else off PoT.

[Chris_M_S]

If they do "Skeleton in the Closet," I'm going to tear my tent to pieces, that opening is so badass

[Xenocide]

So there's going to be 2 local openers for each date. 1 for the Sumerian Stage, 1 for the Jagermeister stage.

Let's hope they're all dubstep DJs

It'd be better than the "Panterica" wannabe bands that keep playing

[Chris_M_S]

It should just be tribute bands
