So they’ve announced the tour dates and line-up for next year’s edition of the Taste of Chaos tour, and all we can can say is: holy SHIT. Avenged Sevenfold AND Atreyu AND Bullet for My Valentine? All on one tour? I hope they’re gonna be traveling in bullet proof buses with fuck loads of big SWAT team-type security dudes, because every Slayer and Watain fan from here to Gibraltar is gonna be trying to wipe out their three most loathed bands with one fell swoop. I’m serious: Nergal just called me to say he’s pretty sure this tour will bring about the Armageddon, and he didn’t mean it in a cool, “tr00″ kinda way.

While you ponder whether or not you plan to vote for this tour as “Suckiest” or “Least Sucky” in the 2008 Suckie Awards, check out tour dates after the jump.

    Axl, How long have you had an erection for this tour? Is it time to see a doctor?

  • d.o.g.o.b.g.y.n.

    This tour should be renamed to Taste Of Crap.

  • Hegster90

    Well I love Sevenfold. Atreyu’s…okay. and BFMV…well i could do without them. But it should still be a nice show…that is if there were any actual New England dates. Cunts.

  • Hegster90

    o wait, there’s a boston show!

    yay!

    Suckiest tour of 2008? We still need fo find out what my chemical romance and yellow card are up to this year….

    God I hate emo.

  • Shnaz

    Atreyu has progressively become weaker and weaker, and Bullet For Valentine has been lame since day one. Any band who tries to compare themselves to Iron Maiden and does so without being funny or ironic is dumb as hell.

    A7X is the only reason to peep this one.

  • SickSixSeth

    I want to see A7X but the rest I don’t give a fuck about.

  • ERiK

    Might have to check this one out. I’ll give the bands a shot.

  • liam

  • never again

    ugh…last night’s show…I can still hear the 13-year olds whining “i’m not insane i’m NOT insane” and high-fiving their moms

    it was so gay…..

  • http://www.netlog.com BFMV iz my life

    All of You guyz who said BFMV sucks…GO TO HELL…they rocK..and if u guyz can’t see it..

  • someGUY

    like im guessing the owner & the FLLOWERS are the type that are FAT & sit around the comp. w/ NOTHING better to do, & STILL live w/ thei parents at age 23 HAHAHA you’re ALL hiysterical….pathetic awww HAHAHA.

  • p.s

    the person who wrote the crap at the top is obviously a fuckin geek who has nothin better to do!

    a7x 4 life!

  • never again

    Avenged – no, not “A7X” – what is that, like lmfao or bff?? – is rather poserish + derivative. But I said their elementary school fans were the worst…their shows make old KISS shows look like AARP meetings.

    • rob

      LOL ok youre a fucking idiot say that at on of their shows that pit would make you get your shit stomped fucking worthless kid

  • adam

    kinda late comment, but it was a solid show, not the best, but solid. I saw it in biloxi and it wasn’t terrible. A7x did there cover of walk and it sounded great

  • http://www.myspace.com/jay234t Jason

    I actually would’ve liked to go see this show. I like all three of those bands and my girlfriend LOVES Atreyu. But, her and I wound up going to see Chevelle instead… That was a great concert.

  • Robbie

    I saw A7X support iron maiden at twickenham and they were worthy of being there. They can definitely hold their own. As for atreyu, ive not heard much of them but what i have heard is OK. bullet, has anybody else noticed their similarity to metallica..? Theyre songs are similar, the same old 6 minute dragged out melody. MUCH like metallica. Dont get me wrong, bullet are a band worthy and they know how to get the best out of their instruments but it can get a bit tedious.
    IRON MAIDEN PISS ON METALLICA! Haha

  • rob

    LOL bunch of fucking idiots mad because a7x has their own sound and mad that theyre fat with worthless jobs while m. shadows is ripped and lives the american dream while making some of the best metal put on this planet…make way for the new gods of metal even without the rev! shitty websites like this ran by a bunch of sweaty fat fucks with no lives should be shut down and the worthless welfare cases that run it need to be shot. its too bad so many slayer songs are un-original and so easy to remake
