    shit, i was really hoping for a pittsburgh date.

  • Metal Fuckin’ Dave

    I was really hoping for a date in Ohio. I fucking hate Kentucky….but I guess I’m driving there. Goddamn lawless state.

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

    so are testament and high on fire opening?

    • Metal Fuckin’ Dave

      Testament is. Didn’t hear about High on Fire but they are in the tags so…I reckon so.

  • Jay Are

    Looks like I have to drive to Houston.

  • DecrystallizingReason

    Minneapolis, huh? I’m all over that shit!

    • davemon21

      i will be there…..i am just extremely disappointed at the venue. but this tour is going to kill….and along with nile in what early january!!>!>>??? at the best metal venue in the twin cities, its shaping up to be an awesome 2010

  • Mark

    Fuck you, America… fuck you…

  • http://www.last.fm/user/M60Patton Patton

    This is BULLSHIT ! Slayer’s european tour just got postponed half a year and now you’re getting shows in january and february ?!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Anthony-P-Stine/1314021455 Anthony P Stine

    How about that — finally a Portland date for a good show!

    • Marshall

      Damn straight

  • http://kzscsledge.blogspot.com GoatRidersHorde

    Hell yea!

    Balls to the Wind.

  • SHOCKTROOP

    goddamn fucking camden NJ. I hate that venue. but nothing could make me miss this tour .

    • msv81

      it’s not so bad, just get pit tix

    • Sven

      I agree wholeheartedly. That place sucks.

      This will all be moot when the tour gets cancelled due to Mustaine and King bitching at each other.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Rohit-Gupta/666005820 Rohit Gupta

        How the fuck are there two NJ dates but there is no NY date? Fuck New Jersey, its a useless state anyhow.

  • Double D

    NO FLORIDA DATES!?!?!?! I think I just set the record for biggest boner to shriveled pea pod.

    • http://Myspace.com/wearecarnevil AEnema175

      Agreed wholeheartedly. we always seem to be getting skipped on the boner inducing tours.

  • Shep

    $10? you lucky bastards, I paid £25 (about $40) for just slayer, presumably with some support yet to be announced but still…

    and they’ve gone and postponed it for half a year :(

    • msv81

      “limited number” inevitably means shit seats that will sell out in 2 minutes. I guarantee the pit/orchesta/100 level section tickets will be upwards of $60 after ticketmaster “rape me in the ass” charges.

      • stu1

        They have to do the 10 dollar tix so they can come close to filling the venues they’re in.

    • skepticsteve

      the tickets were $90 in aus…

  • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

    wow, so nothing in NY. thanks a bunch…ah well i uess ill trek 2 camden or wallingford, wtvr

    • 10000 Gays

      Izod Center is practically in NYC

      • Brian \m/(-_-)\m/

        yeah whatever, i guess i can go there. idk i sorta wanted the garden lol

        • stu1

          The Garden? What would they do with the 15,000 empty seats?

          • joshkid

            The Izod has just about the same amount of seats as The Garden. But they’ll never come to the garden because it’s just too expensive to play there.
            And I’ve heard that Slayer can’t play in MSG no more, because they were there a couple of years back and the place got literally TORN APART!

          • stu1

            Didn’t realize Izod was the new name of that arena. That place will be more than half empty, as well. But like you said, I’d imagine it’s much more expensive to do MSG than there, esp when you’re not filling it.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Paul-Pelkonen/1184592898 Paul Pelkonen

            If you wanted to see Slayer and Megadeth at MSG you’re sorta late–Slayer were banned for life from the venue in 1991 after the Clash of the Titans tour. I was there, and a friend of mine who works Garden security told me that his boss told him that “this band will never play here again.”

            So it’s the Meadowlands, in February. Best time to visit, really!

          • stu1

            Also read it wasn’t MSG; it was the attached theatre ( the Felt maybe?) that was trashed.

  • http://raiseyerfists.wordpress.com raiseyerfists

    Hmmm Feb 14 in Lowell MA…if my girlfriend makes me choose between her and Slayer that day, it’s totally gonna be Slayer.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

      see ya there.

  • Discipleofthewatch

    Slayer on Valentine’s day for you, eh? How romantic. Valentine Painted Blood.

    I’ll be there in Long Beach! January 22nd. I’ve seen Megadeth there before, but not with Testament and Slayer!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Mark-Gavin/1396340262 Mark Gavin

    What do the asterisks represent? $10 tickets or what?

    • Discipleofthewatch

      Tickets sold through Live Nation or TicketBastard, apparently.

    • jason

      * plus $40 “convenience” charge. I’m just guessing, but yeah….

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Bobby-Tims/1313713879 Bobby Tims

    FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK looks like im driving to CT?

  • bryan

    This is the biggest bullshit tour date list i`ve ever seen. there skipping what, almost half the country?

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Cody-Cosgrove/1071491065 Cody Cosgrove

    Duluth, GA, Closer to me than the ATL. But still HOLY SHIT! 3 of my fav thrash bands. Will be one hell of a show.

  • Anthony

    Wait, so are those rescheduled Canadian dates also including Testament and High on Fire, or are they going to have Machine Head and Suicide Silence (since they were supposed to be opening for them originally on those dates).

    I’d like to know, since I’d rather pay for Machine Head and Megadeth than just Megadeth

  • http://www.blacklodges.com steven

    NO EURO DATES MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

  • Wayn

    HELL YEAH!!! Jan 25th at Magness Arena in Denver!!!

    I saw the “Clash of the Titans” tour back in the early 90s with AIC, Anthrax, Megadeth, and Slayer – I never thought that Megadeth and Slayer would tour together again – and with TESTAMENT!!!

    This is going to be one hell of a show!!!

    • nick

      And it’s only three light rail stops from my house!

  • Harold

    Im glad I live in the Bay Area! But two months???

    After three then they might start fighting.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Brandon-Cunningham/100000167213200 Brandon Cunningham

    Fuck yes finally something good comes to louisville!

  • rob

    no mention of high on fire?? maybe they are trying to get anthrax….
    or itll be just the 3 with super long sets.

    • stu1

      I highly doubt that.

      • rob

        anthrax? or three long sets?

        • stu1

          Both. Slayer and Megadeth will get the same time every night. Testament MAY get 45 minutes. And you just don’t add a 3rd co-headliner once a tour’s been booked, thus no Anthrax.

          • rob

            hopefully that means 75-90 mins for slayer and megadeth! (anthrax would be opening if they were on it, not a coheadliner)

          • stu1

            No, they’re about the same size. There’s no way Anthrax would agree to open this.

          • CharliesBronson

            They need to bring Double Dragon from Australia to open as they did down under, now there is a powerful opening act.

  • rob

    and to candians, machine head isnt on this. they are overseas. idk about suicide silence.

  • Facebook User

    They’re hitting a few Canadian sites too. Feb 19th, Toronto, booyah <3

  • Alex_P

    Fucking right! Testament instead of Suicide Silence! Now I really need to go.

  • myke

    as much as i hate mustaine i wanna see slayer and testament!! funny thing about testament and slayer both drummer were in testament or slayer. i wonder if kerry is gonna bitch about paul bostaoph

  • justin

    no dc or baltimore date either. i’m not driving to camden to see this.

  • http://dmxrr15@hotmail.com IsntaTOTALdouchebag10

    This tour is not playing in my city, and I really do not care

  • joshkid

    oh my god. this is epic. a review of a slayer show from 1988 in the ny times. I was 3 fuckin weeks old!!!

  • jagbag

    Sweet, Slayer is playing at my school!

    • jagbag

      and fucking Testament and Megadeth, I’m too fucking stoked to even think and type.

    • http://www.facebook.com/people/Matt-Danger-Dasher/30826541 Matt Danger Dasher

      You school sucks. Columbia FTW.

      • jagbag

        I can’t shit talk Columbia since I know too many people that go there and a staff member there is a relative of mine.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Max-Waldt/1371330194 Max Waldt

    Fuck I have to do a road trip for this, how do they not even stop in New York State

  • Coop

    Oh, fucking fuck yes! An El Paso date! Most metal bands never come here.

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

    Yet another tour to pass SC. Oh well, maybe I can hit up the Georgia date.

  • BlakMetallistKrieg

    I’d have to drive all the way to long beach from San Diego, but I’ve missed slayer in San Diego before by my own fault so I cant complain.

  • Master Chah

    Do I really have to take the train to connecticut? FUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKK!

  • http://www.youtube.com/DuncanDonuts3 Benjamin

    Hey what happened to Florida. Surely they jest. They’re going to make us drive all the way to Georgia to see Testament? Well god motherfucking dammit. My car ain’t that great on highway miles.

    Fuck Motherfuck.

  • FarBeyondJuban

    Living in Central NJ is AMAZING for concerts. Having NYC an hour to the north and Philly an hour and a half to the south is sweet. And for this amazing tour, I don’t even have to leave the state (but it’s basically the same distance to Camden/Meadowlands as it is Philly/NYC from Somerville). I could never live in Montana or Idaho or some shit.

  • I

    SON OF A BITCH!!!!!! I’m not gonna drive 8 hours to Nashville. Man that really sucks. A Pittsburgh or Ohio date would have been very very nice. Oh well, maybe we’ll get lucky and they’ll add dates or do a second tour next year. Here’s to hoping.

  • http://www.myspace.com/i_be_groovin THRASHETTE

    Yikes, no where in Maryland… not even Virginia or Pennsylvania… shame, Mustaine. Shame.

  • Mitchell

    I find this schedule to be weird too. Bigtime US centers not being visited. Oh well, I’ll be there at Air Canada Centre for the re-schedule!

  • Adam

    Glad the rescheduled Toronto date is still on a Friday, sad that Machine Head are off the bill.

  • hector

    Everyone stop whining and bitching about where they are or are not playing. They can not play everywhere.

  • chumbawumba

    anybody want to be so kind as to post the presale password?

    • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/339e5c1e9c4cbbe2a3225773582fbd37.png am_svperstar

      Your wish is granted.

      Either “carnage” or “american”

      One of them should work- the site I get them from is usually good.

      • http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/339e5c1e9c4cbbe2a3225773582fbd37.png am_svperstar

        Live Nation pass = record

        The other 2 passwords are for Ticketmaster.

  • faithlessx

    so what’s up with these “10 dollar tickets”. Ticketmaster says the presale tickets are $40…are they waiting until the internet presale (tomorrow 10 AM) or the general public sale (friday 10 AM) for the discount?
