doesn't make any sense …Motorhead on the same bill as Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada??? It would rack in cash but still its an all time low. But im still going for "Slayer, ANTHRAX, MOTORHEAD" if this is true confirmed etc.
Yeah, I feel the same. Most kids my age make messes of themselves over The Devil Wears Prada and Asking Alexandria- hate them. Hate them SO MUCH. But that won't stop me from seeing Anthrax, Slayer, and Motörhead anyways! Cheers to true metal!
Looks like I can roam around the fest until Anthrax. Poor Anthrax having to share the stage with all those Core bands.
Unless Motorhead is the special guest, Motorhead isn't on the bill
I'd rather have Anthrax main stage then slipknot, just sayin'
haha. ME TOO. i listen to slipknot more but…. motorhead, and lemmy, is just so much more badass.
Asking Alexandria sucks dick and has no business being on this tour.
The lineup this year pretty much sucks though other then As I Lay Dying and Whitechapel
Hell yeah what a show!!!!!! Maybe the best since the first!!! Hope they add a hardcore chic band!!! Heard headliner TBA on March 5!!!! Wooooooohooooooo
urghhh…slayer is in every festival jajaja, love the band but ive seen them so many times my ears are not ready for more punishment; but yea excited bout Anthrax and as i lay dying… Hartford is the last show, man making us wait!
