Manson better be opening for Slayer. I have seen Slayer open for many bands they had no right opening for. However, I think this tour is pretty solid. It will definitely give the Ozzfest and Gigantour tours a run for their money.

As an aside, here is a little article we did about the corporate band, Bullet for My Valentine. Read and enjoy.
