I think I'm going to give Disturbed more of a listen. I like their song on GH3. The Slipnot song is pretty good too.

They both have 3 studio albums out with their 4th coming this year.
The first Disturbed album, The Sickness, and the first Slipknot self titled album are awesome. The 2nd Disturbed album, Believe, is OK and their newest one, Ten Thousand Fists, is pretty damn good. The other 2 Slipknot albums, Iowa and Volume 3, are both pretty damn good too in my opinion.

But these are some of the bands that I got into right when I started getting into the "metal" genre so I've liked them for a while now.

The songs on GH3 are from their latest albums.

Bowie · **Posted:** January, 26, 2008 - 12:20pm

I'd definitely be in on that

Scottyeli · **Posted:** January, 26, 2008 - 2:39pm

Yea that would be awesome if they add MachineHead and DragonForce. Some guy in my work was asking if I was getting tickets today for that one show. But I just looked it up and 40 bucks is a little too much for atreyu and BFMV. Avenged Sevenfold were only good when they played Walk.

yeah any show at the tweeter is always pricey. especially when its a bunch of bands like it is for the A Taste Of Chaos tour. it would probably be a good show to go to but i dont have the money to dish out right now anyway.

Slipknot's as-of-yet untitled studio album is set for an August 11th release, and Disturbed's new album, Indestructible, is due in May. Other bands will also use this tour as promotions for their new albums, as Sevendust has a new album, Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow coming out on April 1, and 36 Crazyfists has The Tide and Its Takers coming out in the summer as well. In addition to catching their favorite bands live, fans can take part in a number of festival activities, including playing the newest video games, perusing vendors, attending autograph signing sessions and a slew of other interactive activities that will add to the festival experience. ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK will be sampling their products and providing great surprises for attendees. Additional sponsors include Jägermeister, HOT TOPIC and The DiNGSTORE.com (Device Personalization Company). FUSE Television and Revolver Magazine (who will produce the Official Tour Program) have signed on as official Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival media partners. Live Nation is set to promote the festival nationally. JÄGERMEISTER Director of Strategic Marketing Rick Zeiler, “Jägermeister has long been looking for a tour like Mayhem. We have this beautiful new million-dollar Jägermeister Mobile Stage and see no better place to roll it out than Mayhem with some of the biggest rock and metal bands in the world. This tour has integrity, value and most importantly...loyalty! Working with Kevin Lyman and John Reese has been great."

Sevendust have pulled out of this summers "Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour", which among others features Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon, DragonForce and Machine Head. The band have pulled out of the tour as a result of "changes in their touring schedule." Sevendust will release their new album "Chapter VII: Hope And Sorrow" through their own 7Bros. Records label on April 01st.

Oh well, I did want to see them since I havent in a long time but there's still a bunch of other bands on this tour well worth checking out.

Also joining the tour is the world famous Metal Mulisha freestyle motocross team. In the press release regarding the tour, a founding member of the Metal Mulisha and freestyle rider named Brian Deegan was quoted saying "They’ll be mixing the sound of riffing and ripping 250CC motorcycles flying 150 feet in the air against the backdrop of double bass drums and shredding guitars."

Here's the new lineup.
Still no ON SALE dates announced yet.

Main Stage
Slipknot
Disturbed
DragonForce

Machine Head will never get the recognation they deserve, theyre hands down a much better band then friggin Dragonforce yet are on the second stage. Unless they want to be the headliner of a small stage, they've been around alot longer and are better then every other band there. In my opinion that is.

Scottyeli · **Posted:** March, 19, 2008 - 6:49am

I would say that headlining a stage is better then being the second band on the first. They'll prolly get more of a set too. Plus the tweeter or whatever its call now is better when bands are on the other stages. Dragonforce is awesome tho.

Bowie · **Posted:** March, 19, 2008 - 7:31am

I'm not a fan of Dragonforce, Through the Fire and Flames is fun to play on Guitar Hero but thats about it for me. I can't believe Slipknot is still popular, they remind me alot of Korn. I just really want to see Disturbed and Machine Head again, the rest I couldn't give two shits about.

Johnny Manf · **Posted:** April, 1, 2008 - 5:23pm

Apparently there's a presale on Friday.
I wonder how much tickets will be.
I entered into some thing where they do random drawings to see if you win tickets and CDs from all the bands.
