LAMB OF GOD ANNOUNCE THEIR MOST AWESOMEST TOUR EVER

Thursday, January 15th, 2009 at 11:43am by

    WHERE ARE FUCKING EUROPEAN DATES?!

  • SP

    this tour makes me wanna grab my wangcaster
    any way to get free tickets (esp to the May 15 show)
    *idea for a photo caption contest*

  • SP

    who gives a f*ck about european dates – We R American dammit

  • http://www.myspace.com/krame Krame

    Ah for fuck sake! Bodom and Waste, all we get here in Dublin is a local thrash band. Nothing against Mass Extinction, they’re great and all, but GAH! This is like a kick square in the nuts.

  • SP

    being a european is square kick in the nuts all its own

  • TJ

    The 4/18 date in Worcester is probably part of the New England Metalfest. I know the Haunted and Nachtmystium tour hits Worcester on 4/17, so it kind of makes sense.

  • Jesse

    Dammit. My new years resolution was to not shit myself this year. Thanks a lot for ruining that for me.

  • Johnny Ringo

    HOLY FUCKING SHIT YEAH! after having seen lamb of god live 3 times i dont think i’ve ever been more excited to see them live than i am this year…and i dont even have to drive to dallas or new orleans to do so which kicks more ass than i could ever dream!

  • SP

    Your new year’s resolution was to keep from sh*tting yourself?
    How old are you? 4. That’s effin pathetic.

  • RayRay

    Another smart move on LOG’s part. As I Lay Dying has a huge fanbase and sell lots of records. I bet their are many AILD fans who dont listen/love LOG but will after this tour. Bodom and Waste will be quality bar time for me. AKA boring.

  • Joe

    I’m actually a fan of As I Lay Dying (I know anything that doesn’t have the word Prog in front of it gets blasted on this site.. Just Kidding of course)

    I will be going to the Seattle concert.

  • Sammy

    Is there another band on the planet that tries so hard to look bad ass whilst sporting arms that scrawny? C’mon Randy, work in a biceps curl once in a while.

  • Jowsh

    ” who gives a f*ck about european dates – We R American dammit”

    Typical american attitude , always thinking your the only people on earth.

  • \m/Eluveitie\m/

    @Sammy

    Joey Ramone didn’t die…he reinvented himself as Randy Blythe

  • Mattador Bullfucker

    I hate when every fucking good metal tour that comes around Mass in April joins up with the metal fest. Fuck the metal fest and its overpriced nonsense…

  • RandyxJames

    I’ll be going to the May 11th date, unless they announce May 14th at the 9:30 Club, because that would be so much easier for me.

  • ian

    It really bugs me when a band visits Georgia, but then skips Florida altogether. I mean seriously, they couldn’t come up with at least one date in either J-Ville, Orlando, Tampa, or Miami? Damn. This is a big state with lots of people. It’s your loss fellas.

  • DanyLektro

    It really bugs me that they’ll go to western Canada and ignore the parts of Canada that people actually live in, like Toronto or Montreal. Come on, Toronto’s 5 times as big as Vancouver and more than that many times as big as edmonton. Montreal’s got similar figures going for it, does that not equal MORE people coming to see the show? Pffft. I don’t have time to trek down to NY state..

  • Carter

    This is going to be huge. So wait municipal waste is headlining right? SADISITIC………….. MAGICIAN……………

  • Joe A.

    skip this and go to the Maryland Death Fest.

  • http://kverke.com Josh Gunderson

    Seeing Lamb of God in Seattle twice within 6 months? Fuck yes!

  • key

    two stops in massachussetts ladies, stop bickering.

    can’t wait to see waste live again… they blew darkest hour and toxic holocaust out of the water when they opened for At The Gates this past summer. Expecting a similar performance.

  • Muzikwhore

    I’ll be there on the 4/4. Getting this news just made my fucking day!! I missed LOG last month with metallica. WAS REALLY PISSED! Played to fuckin early….this will totally make up for it.

  • Jesse

    @SP

    I know you are but what am I?

  • Kye

    Myrtle Beach!

    I’ll be there :D

  • Zach

    When I first heard about this, I nearly shit my pants. When I heard Municipal Waste were on this and that it was coming to LA, I screamed out loud in the middle of my biology class. APRIL 3RD!!!! SEE YOU THERE!!!!

  • Anthony

    Awesome tour, and it’s during Exam time…Gay!

  • Elpants

    Shit dates.

  • Tim

    yeah during exams. so glad i’m taking this semester off! can’t wait, most of the awesome tours (ex. meshugga, cynic, faceless) are skipping st. louis these days

  • niggaplease

    Get rid of God Forbid and Children of Bodom and this would almost be worth going to.

    Almost.

  • The Mighty Fucking Quinn

    NYC….check
    Philly….check
    Boston….check

    I’m a busy guy….I need a fucking job.

  • berporker

    why are municipal waste with these boy-bands?

  • Malacoda

    municipal waste. blech. bodom. awesome.

  • Joe

    Is it weird that I look at 4 out of the 5 members of Lamb Of God and think of the Devils Reject guy who has the long hair?

  • http://www.myspace.com/1033metal Jackson

    MW and massive barricades with a super short set is going to be lame, otherwise the tour could be better but its not terrible

  • Thisnamesucks

    Yay i get the first day!

  • Taro Jones
  • Sammy

    @ian: Yes, Florida is a big state. But how many 85-year-old retirees at Del Boca Vista are into Lamb of God? ;)

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Nicholas-Barnes/1181989081 Nicholas Barnes

      Uh, last I checked, I know at least 50 people in MY knowledge that dig lamb. Us “85 year old retirees” aren’t all that old.

  • O.O MIKE

    Amazing.

  • Gordon Bombay

    dear god i have a raging boner for the show on May 1st.

  • Steve from Levittown

    Dude, when Lamb of God played the Nassau Coliseum with Megadeth it seemed like every one was there to see them, like they should have headlined the show. Now there playing roseland? The roof is gonna be torn of that place especially with those openers. I’m so ready to get punched in the face during the Children of Bodom Pit!

  • James

    Great another awesome tour that just skips Florida entirely…

  • http://www.myspace.com/somethinglikesweet CJ

    Nice tour. Everyone on there (sans MW, only cause I’ve never heard them) is worth paying to see.

  • zack

    omg when i heard about this i had an orgasm

  • iceface

    when do these tickets go on sale

  • Aaron

    To the guy complaining about no Toronto dates… learn how to fucking read they’re clearly posted and I’ll be there. If I have a job by then that is… but hey if I don’t I’ll be homeless anyway.

  • Stu

    This is going to be badass
