I was told that their rates had gone up recently due to the whole "reunion" gimmick.

Compared to MOST radio rock/Uproar type bands they are heavy. Against the likes of Slayer, Slipknot, etc of course not.

A7X has more selling power nowadays than Manson

They blew up huge in 2010/2011, around the same time as Asking Alexandria

A7X has tons more selling power than Manson as A7X's last tour was doing indoor arenas and Mansons was almost a club tour.

No argument there. I just think Manson is as likely to play Uproar as A7X is to headline Mayhem which in my opinion is not very likely. They could do it but why swap bands? Mayhem is more of a metal tour and Uproar is more of a hard rock tour. I think Disturbed, Godsmack, 5FDP blur the line to most casual fans but A7X, to me, seems like an Uproar band but its possible they could headline Mayhem Fest... I just don't believe they will... at least not yet.

I wonder if people remember that A7X did one Mayhem date in 2010, its not impossible

Throw in KSE or LOG(or both) and that'd fill venues

Alot of pissed of fans. LoG/A7X fans generally seem polar opposites imo.

I don't see how. Avenged Sevenfold's fanbase consists of angsty young people who vehemently claim that they're the best band ever, as does Lamb of God's

Haha that's pretty true, although A7X branched out to teenage girls and LOG branches out to older metalheads who are nostalgic for a Pantera replacement.

I'm a fan of both bands though.
