L.A. Opening Acts [ 10/9/2008 ]

As you may have heard, the owners of the Los Angeles Forum have a little issue with our friends from Lamb of God, so unfortunately they will not be joining us for the two shows at the Forum on December 17 and 18. That's the bad news . . . the good news is that our bros in Machine Head are rushing back to the States from Europe to step in on those two nights. And of course no show would be complete without The Sword kicking things off, so they'll be there too.

Further, there will be full production rehearsal shows on October 17th in San Francisco and on October 20th 2008 in Glendale.

Well, for me not really, i think i will make a banner that says "change up the last 3 goddam songs" instead of "give me a drumstick"
