Replace them with LOG and that's decent enough. I still don't get why people think Deftones would be on this. If they ever do a huge summer fest like this I see it being Uproar.

Deftones is one band who would fit on both tours. They have some more mellow or commerical material that fits well with Uproar but they also have some heavier songs that would allow them to fit in on Mayhem too.

>Debating for 9 months who will be on the bill of a festival that gives each band 20-45 minutes to play

You call it bullshit, I call it one of the greatest things ever.

Ok. They just seemed like a odd fit for me. Then again I can't ever seem to get into them, I just can't find what the big deal is.

I couldn't get into to them either for years but I gave Diamond Eyes a good listen and its now one of my all time favorite albums along with White Pony, Self Titled & Saturday Night Wrist. If you are willing to give Deftones a chance I say start with these songs as they play most of these live:

Diamond Eyes
You've Seen The Butcher
Beauty School
Rocket Skates
Sextapes
Hole In The Earth
Cherry Waves
Minerva
Needles & Pins
Back To School
Digital Bath
House Of Flies
Passenger
Be Quiet & Drive
My Own Summer

I like newer Deftones better than old Deftones. After I liked Diamond Eyes, I went back through their albums & found alot more stuff I liked.

What I love about Deftones is that their calmer songs are just as great as the heavier songs. White Pony is personally my favorite, maybe just because it's the first one I got into. But I am a huge fan of Around the Fur and Diamond Eyes as well. I really want to see them headline in a club, but if I go to this next year (not likely, but we'll see) I would be pumped if they were on it.

I agree. The heavy riffs combined with the atmospheric sounds of Frank Delgado (sampler/DJ/keyboards) combined with the melodies make them even more versatile than most bands when it comes to aggressive hard hitting songs combined with the awesome mellow songs too.

So apparently someone on the Mayhem Fest boards, who pretty much had the lineup correct the past two years, said that this would be the line-up next year.

Main Stage:
Rob Zombie
Five Finger Death Punch (ugh, not this band again )
Lamb of God

Rotating:
Bullet For My Valentine (see FFDP)
Hatebreed
Cannibal Corpse

Side Stage Bands:
In This Moment (see FFDP and BFMV)
Devildriver
The Agonist
Job For A Cowboy
Gojira
Goatwhore

As usual, take it with a grain of salt

[WOLVERINEKILLS]

That line up wouldn't suprise me. Could be better but definitely be worse.
