PROJEKT REVOLUTION: ALREADY THE WORST TOUR OF THE SUMMER
Thursday, April 3rd, 2008 at 12:43pm by Axl Rosenberg
Projekt Revulsion – er, Revolution – Linkin Suck’s answers to Ozzfest/Summer Sanitarium/summer package tour of your choice, has announced its line-up for this year’s edition, and in addition to headliners The Chester Bennington Comedy Hour, the mainstage will include Chris Cornell, The Bravery, and Ashes Divide. Second stage performers will include Atreyu, 10 Years, Hawthorne Heights, and Armor for Sleep.
Okay, so I’m dying to see Ashes Divide live (or, for that matter, hear their album in its entirety – I don’t know how the label has done such a solid job of preventing it from leaking with only a week left ’til its release, for but good for them), but otherwise, this has to the tour to skip this summer. As of late, Chris Cornell seems to be going out his way to become a caricature of his former self, 10 Years, Hawthorne Heights and Armor for Sleep all blow goats, and even though I liked some of Atreyu’s pre-Lead Sails offerings, their live show is a painful demonstration of how reliant they are on Pro Tools and other studio chicanery.
I don’t know much about The Bravery but they strike me as the kind of band that is listened to exclusively by anorexic hipsters in skinny black jeans. Actually, they seem kind of out of place on this tour.
It’s interesting that Linkin Suck are booking a tour that’s so light on heavy bands. I wonder if that’s because they’re booked elsewhere or because Mike Shitoda and company are deliberately trying to distance themselves from the metal world that has so forcefully and maliciously busted their balls for the past seven years. Debate amongst yourselves while I pray for an Ashes Divide solo tour.

Yay Linkin Park :D
I couldn’t give less of a fuck.
When will people realize that using a backwards “R” or a “K” where a “C” should be is lame, tired and unoriginal?
I’m not sure if I would agree that Chris Cornell (or should that be Kris Kornell) is trying to caricature himself; I do, however, agree that his solo work is tepid at best.
What is there to argue about? This tour is crap.
I hope on one of the tour stops, Cornell is sick back at his hotel room.
And someone just happens to drop a bomb on the arena, eradicating Linkin Park and all of the other suck bands off the planet. I’d enjoy that.
Couldn’t agree with you more and I’m right there with you praying for an ashes divide solo tour but there are a few dates on Ticketmaster in venues that seat less than 1000 people so there is hope yet ;)
Actually The Bravery are loathed by most tight-panted hipsters. They were big for about a minute 3 years ago, but the backlash was almost immediate and now they are regarded as “poseurs” by all.
Hey the Summer Of Slaughter tour last year was pretty dece’.
Ewwwww….this is a a pretty lame line-up, but what do you expect?
and yeah, your assessment of The Bravery is dead on. One of the 3,000 mixes of Gang of Four and Duran Duran that we were subjected to in 2005.
I can’t believe that people would have time on their hands ot insult bands like these. Fuck, just leave them alone and I pretty sure none of these bands give a shit on what you say about them.
you guys are worthless
How bored was you.? If you don’t like a band, fine. Don’t tell the world, we don’t wanna know.
fuck!
My friends and I bought our tickets to see Linkin Park. They are a band I can definitely appreciate believing they are moving forward in a conscious effort in our world of music. They have my utmost respect but I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, or lack thereof. I must agree the lineup really sucks for me!
I am dying to see Incubus live again they fuckin’ rock^_^
Fuck you! i wish i had the chance to go, i LOVE Linkin Park, Atreyu, Armor for Sleep, 10 Years, and Hawthorne Heights. Expecially after all that HH has been through. You have no idea what good music is, if you don’t like the bands, dont go to the show.
i went to the projekt revolution tour and it was fucking awsome !!!!!!! all of the bands rocked.. i am so going to the next show !!!
fuck you. no one fucking cares what you think. projekt rev kicked ass
I am a die hard 10 Years fan. They are gaining a lot of speed in the music world and they out right say that if you don’t like what they are doing then you don’t have to listen. They are true to themselves and if you took more than a second and listened to or read their lyrics you would see that they contain political, social, and enviromental views. They just want to put their opinion out there and take a stance. Just like you have.
U GUYS LIKE MEN AND HAVE NO TASTE IN MUSIC!
STFU!!!!
