We don't mean they're trying to make music that it's trendy to make. We mean it's become trendy to like them. Which it has. America has just been a bit slower on the uptake.

I tend to get Volbeat mixed up with Voivod and Voltron. I haven't really studied any of these things.

I've never even heard of that, that would just seriously fuck with my head.

Is there still one other band to be announced? Or was he counting his own band when he said they had "3 of the 4 bands booked"?

Have to also say that if this tour were here, that's one boring fucking line-up.

Fortunately, I know that when Megadeth come here, that won't be the line-up, so that's fine.

Volbeat aren't so much trendy as they are gimmicky. But I'm not exactly a fan, regardless.

I am hearing that Roadrunner Records wants a band on the bill and that it will likely be Devildriver. Not 100% confirmed by any means, but a good possibility.

Damn that has made the tour even more awesome! But why do we need Lacuna Coil on it.
