Weren't any dates in the Carolinas last year, I don't think they'd add one this year. DC and Atlanta were pretty big, they probably consider the region covered with those.

I'll have to see the full lineup before I drive all the way to Bristow again for this.

I hope a few more old school bands get added. It was mostly older dudes buying the Metal Blade swag. "I was listening to Metal Blade since 1984!" or whatever, I heard that all day, every day.

They really are skipping St Louis........wow.

St Louis would easily fit in between Denver/Pittsburgh or Hartford/Indianapolis, we'll see

I was hoping for a Buffalo date again this year even though it wasn't the full Mayhem tour this year just 4 bands.

The dates on this are really odd with most of the weekdays wide open unless they are planning on adding a bunch more dates. I know they were planning on making more tour dates on weekends as those dates understandably sell better but still seeing a break from Sunday until the next Friday is strange.

I'd be okay with a few good Mayhem off-dates again!

Chris_M_S · #**1938** 01-07-2013, 01:45 PM

Guaranteed, there are more dates, they couldn't afford to keep buses out with full crew for that long without there being shows.

And I'd love a Buffalo off-date again - even though it was only main stage, the whole crew went and we got to spend the day at the amusement park next door. I was on a roller coaster called the Mind Eraser while listening to Slayer in the background, it was pretty badass. That night we had a party where Scott Ian was DJ and it was metal as fuck.

What, July 4 in Boise last year wasn't exciting enough for you?!? Thanks to MayhemFest, it was at least exciting for me

Haha that was a fun day at the rodeo grounds, too. I think I met more guys with swastika tattoos that day than I had in my life. The 3rd is my birthday, so I was in a bit of a stupor from the night before, but it was a good time. I played a lot of football that night with Upon a Burning Body and then had to show the Frenchmen from Betraying the Martyrs how to throw a football. Damn Europeans! Overall that was a good day.
