Official Mayhem Fest Thread

Before the line-up came out there was a band rumored and they dont have any plans for summer now except a new dvd but PARKWAY DRIVE could come in and really throw down for the second stage!!!

Exactly. Bands that are in the same demographic as far as modern day success as HoF would be Chimaira, Shadows Fall, Crowbar, Bleeding Through, Skeletonwitch or Prong. I believe, depending on their summer touring schedule - which I have zero knowledge of, that Shadows Fall and Chimaira are at the top of their 'replacement' list.

I would love to see Arch Enemy or Down.

Exodus isn't unrealistic (I guess), but Skeletonwitch 100% isn't doing it because they are doing a headlining run in early July. I can't even begin to venture a guess of what band has the slot. If it by some odd reason it ends up being Dillinger Escape Plan (If they go with another band on E1, then Dillinger would make complete sense), I might shit myself.

Id love DEP but I don't know if they'd do it


I could honestly see Chimaira if only for the fact that the new lineup hasn't really hit the US yet

DEP would do it totally on a lark and to move the rest of their Option Paralysis-era merch. Ben said they were done touring the record but would do something else awesome if it came up. Maybe they think the 2nd stage lineup blows and would treat it like Nile in 2006 when Karl was like "We're going to be like the Germans gunning people down at Omaha Beach" or whatever insanely brutal thing he compared their set to

[Steev]

Yeah but DEP also repeatedly turned down Ozzfest and on atleast one date of Gigantour Greg got pissed and threw an entire cymbal and stand at the seats

[Chris_M_S]

That's all, just a cymbal and stand? Usually it's the whole kit and all of the stage monitors

[Steev]

Well this was like 7 years ago


Plus side was by the end of the tour DEP hoodies were cheaper than any bands tshirts(and Greg and Liam lost their shit and hugged me when I said I loved their set backstage)

Well they've done Warped at least twice, and Warped is run by the same dudes who do Mayhem, so I don't see why Mayhem is out of the picture.
