Slayer, Marilyn Manson - To Launch 25 City Co-Headlining North American Tour on July 25th



SLAYER and MARILYN MANSON have announced that they will co-headline a North American major-market Summer tour set to kick off July 25th on the East Coast. Plans are for the tour to play some twenty-five cities and wrap up early September on the West Coast. A full, confirmed schedule will be announced shortly.

SLAYER and MARILYN MANSON will each play full sets, and two support bands, yet to be determined, will open all shows.

Just prior to the American trek, both MANSON and SLAYER will be on tour throughout Europe, sharing the stage at three European festivals - the U.K.’s Download Festival at Donington (June 9th), Greenfield Festival in Sweden (June 15th), and Stockholm’s Metaltown Festival (June 30th).

MARILYN MANSON just wrapped up work on his upcoming June release to be titled, “Eat Me, Drink Me,” which Rolling Stone magazine anticipates as “epic.” Voted “Best Band in the World” by Kerrang! magazine, the army of noise behind MARILYN MANSON’s bitterness is at once raw and massive when witnessing him live - “rousing the crowd with focuses ardor,” states the New York Times.

Celebrating their 26th year together, the always-uncompromising SLAYER was just named “Best Live Band” in SPIN’s 2006 Readers Poll, and picked up their first Grammy Award last month for “Best Metal Performance.” Their latest album, “Christ Illusion” - debuting at #5 on Billboard’s Albums Chart - takes on the U.S. Government about the War in Iraq, prompting one newspaper to speculate, “If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he undoubtedly would be listening to SLAYER.”
 
PanterA is a perfect example of evolution; Metallica is a perfect example of devolution.
Pantera is a perfect example of selling out, metallica is a perfect example of staying true to themselves

*embraces jks in a manly hug*I love you man.

How about yes.

Slayer piss on Metallica.

Metallica post 1991 sucks.

My other fav well known metal band is Pantera.
No one beats them for metal.

I think metallica should devote a cd to all the now unoriginal critisism that comes there way.

Before Dimebag got shot. You never really heard much about Pantera. Interesting.*Loads up shotgun, & heads to Metallica's studio*

Sorry Hammet Metal demands a sacrifice.

How exactly did Pantera ever sell out?

By making progressively heavier music? That’s what they were into.
That’s what they were all about, they stayed true to themselves.
Metallica also never sold out, it's just there music went in the opposite direction.
 
I guess we will agree to disagree


In my opinion I think metallica sucks.

There are bands much better than metallica even in their prime
 
How about yes.

How about no. Slayer post 1990 sucks. Kerry king is the absolute worst lead player I've ever heard, tom is an average bassist at best with absolutely zero vocal discipline. Jeff is a good rythem player and decent on leads but still not that good. The only dept slayer have ever excelled in is their drummers.


Oh, and lots of bands kill pantera

Because their true selves were glam, and they saw that genre dying and bands like metallica, megadeth, anthrax, slayer etc getting more and more attention and decided to make more aggressive music in order to continue their careers

You're a perfect example of trolling.
