Manson/Slayer headlining tour

[ihtia0]

SLAYER and MARILYN MANSON have announced that they will co-headline a North American major-market summer tour beginning on July 25 on the East Coast. Plans are for the tour to play some twenty-five cities and wrap up early September on the West Coast. A full, confirmed schedule will be announced shortly. MANSON and SLAYER will each play full sets, and two support bands, yet to be determined, will open all shows.

Just prior to the American trek, both MANSON and SLAYER will be on tour throughout Europe, sharing the stage at three European festivals — the U.K.'s Download Festival at Donington (June 9), Greenfield Festival in Switzerland (June 15), and Sweden's Metaltown Festival (June 30).

MARILYN MANSON just wrapped up work on his upcoming June release to be titled, "Eat Me, Drink Me", which Rolling Stone magazine describes as "epic." Voted "Best Band in the World" by Kerrang! magazine, the army of noise behind Manson's bitterness is at once raw and massive when witnessing him live— "rousing the crowd with focuses ardor," states the New York Times.

Celebrating their 26th year together, the always-uncompromising SLAYER was just named "Best Live Band" in SPIN's 2006 Readers Poll, and picked up their first Grammy Award last month for "Best Metal Performance." Their latest album, "Christ Illusion" — which debuted at #5 on Billboard's album chart — takes on the U.S. government about the war in Iraq, prompting one newspaper to speculate, "If Thomas Jefferson were alive today, he undoubtedly would be listening to SLAYER."

What a pairing indeed.

Could'nt have said it better!!! :)

MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!!!!

[dave303]

damn americans. bootlegs FTW! sounds like an awesome tour.

i hope there is no tension between the slayer fans and the manson fans. I know there was plenty on the slayer/slipknot tour. many fights ensued.

[Shattered Dream]

I have three words for this . . .
Holy . . .
Fuckin . . .
Shit.

[lunchbox1113]

*Shits self, goes into bathroom and wipes, puts on new undies, then is very happy about manson and slayer.*

[Carne-decadente]

O H MY FUCKING GOD!!!! YES!!!!! Manson and Slayer god damn what a amazing combination OMG -lactates- EXCITEMENT!!!

[ironmessiah]

I am actually really dissappointed. Slayer are SHIT live. They were really boring.

*bows before ihtia0*

[Hazekiah]

Very interesting news...thanks!

On the negative side of things..."co-headlining" almost always means somewhat limited stage time for each band. Which sucks.

Plus, that $30 to $40 I was planning on spending on each ticket just jumped into the $50 to $60 range. Great.

Yay, I guess I either get overpriced seats, shitty seats, or lawn tickets. I'll try to contain my enthusiasm.

:-\

Furthermore, phrases like "always uncomprimising" don't belong in a news article about a "co-headlining" band. Think about it.

Damn, this should be much more exciting than it really is.

Whatever, I'm still gonna be there (x 1,000)...I just have my doubts about exactly how well this is gonna go.

Fuck.

[lunchbox1113]

I am actually really dissappointed. Slayer are SHIT live. They were really boring.

*BITCH SLAP!*

You bitch! Never say that about slayer!

[PresidentDead]

Oh my fucking god...yes!

[T0msawyer]

Oh hell fucking yes.

I personally would like to thank superman for this, i'm sure he's behind it. I mean, SLAYER. and MANSON. holy megashit. Only superman could organize a tour like this.

[HateTheHater]

Wooo hoooo!!!! Manson finally picked a great band to go on tour with. I mean he's had decent bands but to finally go with slayer is fucking fantastic. I hope the other 2 opener's are decent as well but this will be a chaos concert esp since alot of slayer fan's hate marilyn manson and his fan's. But i wouldnt miss this for the world.

[Pigist Christ]

Oh wow, what a strange pairing. I'm not into Slayer really but I don't mind them. At least its not a really crappy band though.

[Burlesk]

Oh, hell yeah.

[B_T_A]

I know EMDM has been called "guitar driven", but now that MM is touring with Slayer, I'm starting to wonder exactly how guitar driven it could be.

[Razed in Filth]

Very cool! Manson and Slayer back to back, fucking awsome!

[HateTheHater]

I know EMDM has been called "guitar driven", but now that MM is touring with Slayer, I'm starting to wonder exactly how guitar driven it could be.

Agreed i dont think Manson would release a record like Mechanical animal's and then go on tour with slayer. You never know this doesnt mean anything just because there on tour but speaking slayer has never had a ''soft'' record. I figured EMDM was gonnabe more like mellow but harder then mechanical animals with skolds industrail touch to it. But maybe wee all just wrong.. Lol. Anyways great news makes me look forward to the album even more.

[angelsephiroth]

Co-headlining... lame. I am still excited and will go, but am now less excited Hopefully Manson will play first so I don't have to stay around for Shitter.. errr Slayer :-/

[Kiddie Grinder]

Fuck I don't want to see Slayer.

[Tigger]

I hope this is true.

Because, the source is not always the most reliable.

[scarlingdarling]

I have no problem with Slayer, but I don't want to see them.
Oh well

[transmutator]

superman wait u mean god?

[Holocaust_King]

I'm still light-headed from this news. :)

This is just fucking amazing...

The opening bands should be appropriately badass too!!!

Could you imagine Manson and Slayer performing a song like 1996, Angel with the Scabbed Wings, Reflecting God, or Burning Flag together???


I know EMDM has been called "guitar driven", but now that MM is touring with Slayer, I'm starting to wonder exactly how guitar driven it could be.

And I'm also really curious to see who Manson's new guitarist will be.


BTW there seems to be a bunch of Manson haters posting on Blabbermouth, we should flood their talk-back with positive comments to let people know there is a lot of excitement about this.


I'm still shitting myself over this news!!! :)

Theres always manson haters posting on thier, you wonder why they take the time to read manson news, look for it, sign in just to post negativity. If I hated a band I wouldnt spend time news watching and leaving comments like they do.

[BB3K]

This is definitely awesomely interesting news. And if Hanzel und Gretyl was one of the openers...then, that would be really really really cool. I'd go to every show on that tour I could. I mean, I still might whether or not HuG was with them, but yeah.

[BB3K]

Tickets probably won't go on sale until a while after the dates are announced. In general, the official MM site is pretty good about announcing tour dates early. As in, a week or two at least in advance of when the tickets actually go on sale. I'll probably be at least another month before they start selling tickets, or even announce the dates.

[FIGHTMF]

I cant say i'm a fan of slayer.

Right there with you, man!!

I actually mentioned the possibility to Loopy and Vas when I finally met 'em. I thought they'd like to hear that Manson had been playing Uber Alles over the P.A. before his headlining Grotesk Burlesk shows. I said that since it was kind of like they were still opening up for him anyway (and touring at the same time) they might as well tour together again.

Vas responded with a comment about Manson being too busy with his world tour to answer their calls, but added that they'd totally be up for it and into it.

*crosses fingers*

Anyway, I'm gonna try to make to at least 15 shows on this tour regardless, so I'll see you out there, BB3K!!!

I just sent them an e-mail about it. Heh. There is a decent chance of it happening though. HuG is really into Slayer and have mentioned they'd love to play with them, and they opened for Marilyn Manson in 1995-1996, they're coming out with a new album, have been touring pretty heavily lately, they'll be off tour with Cradle of Filth in plenty of time...all the signs are there.

[pyrox02]

Bah. I like Slayer, I hate metalheads.

[j_absinthe]

Bah. I like Slayer, I hate metalheads.
Well, last time I saw Slayer, the metalheadness was thick. I mean, it was like the cast of Gummo had multiplied by 100 and basically all come too see King & Co. However, it wasn't as brutal as it might seem. I mean, my best friend is a black female and she held her own right next to skinheads (not fashion skinheads either.)

They can definently be annoying, but like prison, if you mind your own, you should do fine.

Besides, most of Slayer's hardcore fans are now burnouts past their prime and can mostly just talk shit and hack phelgm.

Fucking finally, I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves HuG. I've never seen them live actually. I just wrote them a letter on myspace asking if they would tour with Manson and Slayer this year, so I'm curious if I'll get a reply. Honestly, I could see HuG opening for Manson, they would seriously make me of all people wet to just standing in line for a ticket.....

Yet, Haz, I agree with you on ticket prices. I can see them being rather expensive...

[BB3K]

[jester]

If this show doesnt hit florida, heads will roll.

[cooorn]

I'm not a huge slayer fan but they are fucking evil as fuck. I honestly want to die at this show. I want manson to play first and then die a violent death in the slayer pit.

[mightymonny]

I am speechless. This is absolutely amazing.

[tricky]

Not that excited about Slayer. In fact, I don't even think I could recognize one of their songs. Not to mention that I really just don't see the two of them together. King of like having cake and creme brulee at once; Manson being the creme brulee of course.

[jester]

I love both bands respectfully. Manson will bring the showmanship, Slayer will provide the high energy and extreme.

[villain_rabbit]

im speechless.

[hes3]

I like Slayer and all but ive been waiting for a Manson headlining tour..Weve been waiting for how long now and he is doing a co-headline tour...Hopefully after this tour he will do a REAL headlining winter tour.

[Iphigora]

I'm not a Slayer fan, but if HUG opened I'd be a happy girl. Really happy.

[diabo_76]

Very interesting news...thanks!

Fuck.

it DID say full sets ya know

[Shattered Dream]

what will be will be... it seems as though someone wants to fill up big stadiums and seemingly loose the inner quality of it all... i just would luv to be with only MM fans not a bunch of CHEEZY metal-heads, metaling-out... why cant MM just do the reg venues with just MM!!! i was looking so foreward to this tour, and take friends and everything... now its sort of embarrassing!!

Shut up and be glad they're touring.

Yup. You're three tours late. XD!!!!

I am traveling cause I doubt this will hit Utah. But either Denver or Vegas - I AM FUCKING THERE.

If you're thinking about going to Denver, might as well come to Los Angeles instead.

[Damian]

If you're thinking about going to Denver, might as well come to Los Angeles instead.I'm in Utah, Denver is a closer drive than LA. But Vegas is almost always a stop for big tours. Maybe I gotta go to as many as I can.

[Angel_Christ]

I am in complete shock!!! I absolutely love both of these bands!!!

I am curious as to why some people think Marilyn Manson is not "metal" enough to tour with Slayer? I think Marilyn Manson has several "metal" songs that can keep up with Slayer (Irresponsible Hate Anthem, Angel With The Scabbed Wings, The Fight Song, The Reflecting God, Disposable Teens, Rock N Roll Nigger)

[Shattered Dream]

I'm in Utah, Denver is a closer drive than LA. But Vegas is almost always a stop for big tours. Maybe I gotta go to as many as I can.

I think I have my geography wrong then. Well, either way, I have a feeling this is going to be a huge arena tour.

Hello, I've been listening to your music for about two years. I also wanted to catch your Fukken Uber tour whilst you stopped in Columbus, Ohio, yet that was before I was 18. Am now, and was still pissed I missed the show. Friend of mine Sean told me it was actually great. Well, my question or request as it were, was to inquire if your band will possibily tour with Marilyn Manson and Slayer for their upcoming tour in North America. To be honest, the bands Marilyn has open for him in some cases aren't really good, and after listening to that four song teaser your band released, I was honestly impressed. HuG + Marilyn Manson = Mental Orgasm. Lots of Manson fans love HuG, is it a possibility?

Your fan

"The Fight Song" and "Disposable Teens" aren't really considered as metal tracks. "Rock 'n Roll Nigger," to me, is a bit more on the punk side.

Fuck Slayer, if HuG played than by all means this concert would be worth the cash even more. See thats why turns me off alittle bit about just manson and slayer, the ticket price will be large for one band I don't want to see, and it's going to back the crowd with moshers and Manson haters...

Heres the best concert Line Up to be honest....

HuG - Manson - Slayer. That'd be good.

[TERROJA]

Aw, man. I hope Manson plays first so I don't have to sit through that retarded Slayer shit.

[PoisonedCookies]

If you can't handle Slayer, then don't go to the fucking show. It's that simple.

Interesting...

[HateTheHater]

I personally dont think the Manson fan's are going to be a problem. An while i do enjoy slayer it's there fan's that i just cant stand. Same with some people saying the hate the ''mansonites''. I mean there probally just gonna talk shit about manson like they've already started to saying poser goth crap. Personally i hope both openers are good and manson plays first so whomever hates him has to sit threw it just to get to slayer. But either way i hope it makes it here to florida and it's just an all out fun show. First two bands to get you all hyper~ and then manson with his amazing stage show and hopefully a better changed setlist and then ending the show with the fast beats of slayer.

[TERROJA]

If you can't handle Slayer, then don't go to the fucking show. It's that simple.


Handle? Peh. I'll be yawning loud enough to drown out the sounds of their "music."

[Angel_Christ]

Ok...thanks for sharing. Once again, if you hate Slayer that much then don't go.

[TheDormantMind]

Ok...thanks for sharing. Once again, if you hate Slayer that much then don't go.If he doesn't like Slayer, he doesn't like Slayer. If Manson was playing with a band I disliked, I wouldn't have the best attitude towards the show, but I would still go for Manson.

[Nightscream]

Ok...thanks for sharing. Once again, if you hate Slayer that much then don't go.



I'm fucking glad Slayer are touring NZ in April, which means if/when Manson comes here I won't have to deal with their crap. I've never understood the appeal in them, I would LOVE to see HuG open for Manson though.

[PoisonedCookies]

For all we knowm Slayer could ditch Manson, and go solo...

[Holocaust_King]

See thats why turns me off alittle bit about just manson and slayer, the ticket price will be large for one band I don't want to see, and it's going to back the crowd with moshers and Manson haters...

I have a feeling a lot of Manson haters won't bother with this tour if the ticket prices are high.
Most Manson fans seem to like Slayer and we far outnumber "hardcore" (aka old, close minded, and Manson hating) Slayer fans anyway.
I doubt we'll be seeing many of those middle-aged meatheads causing trouble. :P
(Not generalizing old-school Slayer fans, I've known many who are cool as fuck)

I love both these bands and we should all feel lucky this is happening.
This could be the best fucking tour of the year.
Can't. Fucking. Wait.

[Shattered Dream]

For all we knowm Slayer could ditch Manson, and go solo...

And vice versa.

[GunsOfBrixton]

This is really fucking retarded. I figured some lopsided, unoriginal co-headlining or Ozzfest trek would come about, and true to form...seriously, fuck this. The fucking hell do I wanna see some pederass washed-up metalheads playing with a band that is light years ahead of them. I suffered through Ozzy, so I guess I can suffer through this. But Manson better fucking be playing last, the hell does Slayer deserve to finish off the night. Fucking douchebags suck live. Is it too much to ask that Manson do his own headlining tour for once? This pisses me off beyond even trying to make sense. Meow!!!

Cool, thanks for doing that. I'd love to see HuG & Manson.

[consummate]

I don't understand this decision... To coheadline with Slayer... One could only pray that Manson plays first so Slayer gets to play in front of half the crowd.

[Giezr]

I may be the only one here but this is a dream come true for me. My favorite bands of all time are Manson, Zombie, Slayer, and NIN in that order. Everyone else is a a different list with me. I hope Manson plays last because:

1. It would piss off all the dumb Slayer fans (Yes I'm a Slayer fan and Slayer has a lot of idiot fans) and...

2. A lot of the Slayer kids would leave to make more room up front for me.

Fuck Yeah this will be the tour of the decade,
Giezr

PS: I can't see Slayer fans responding well if Manson has Slunt open for him again :)

[gothrose]

They are coming to Sweden 0.o

*heart attack*

Hahahaha, now I need to go to a Metalfestival, it will be awful, I hate Metal! jeeeez ...

[Leech King]

I hope S won't be joining MM in Prague...that would be awful...

[DEADSEXorcist]

I hope this is wrong and Manson actually is going on last. It will fuck up my chances of meeting Manson if he coheadlines.

[1989BCCClasmate]

Good on him! I am glad to see him co lining with a band he idolized....
To me thats great..and I am sure he's stoked about it!

I thought he was more of an arena rock fan growing up? huh.. you learn something new every day. well, that's pretty cool for him.
I like both bands, so i hope to see them come to boston!

[MikeSick]

i'm not sure how to feel about this. slayer kinda puts me off because of personal reasons, i think slayer are a rad band and everything, but it'll probably just upset me to sit through slayer. but i will go if they're going to toronto. i'd rather see manson headlining rather than co-headline with a band that puts me off. i almost feel as if manson is trying to spite me by teaming up with slayer. and slayer fans are dicks, i hope manson goes on last and they all leave when slayer is over. or if manson goes on first i'm leaving after.

[Mad]

Handle? Peh. I'll be yawning loud enough to drown out the sounds of their "music."

Yep one of the most boring bands I've seen live.

[xmisfitx]

wow when i said new manson guitar might sound like slayer people acted like assholes about it. now they will be here sayin "yay slayer and manson". oh well fuck it i fucking pumped about this. wow the protests

starting out in the east coast july 25 and ending in the west coast early sept?!

i couldnt have asked for a better arrangement of the dates, im going to be here in NYC till aug 19th, then flying out to L.A for to weeks, im bound to catch a show out there too ! =D

im droppin acid at these shows !

[profane]

I can't say I've ever listened to Slayer, and quite honestly I didn't even think they were still alive.

However, I'll be at as many as possible. And for all you people bitching about Manson doing a co-headliner, I'm pretty damn sure they'll be doing their own headliner afterward.

[The Sin]

i saw slayer live a few months ago..
well.. probably half a year ago now :P
but yea

i didnt enjoy it
too repetitive and boring
or so i thought.

I'm thinking the same thing. I mean, it's for the summer. It might even be the Unholy Alliance Tour. I have no idea why people are bitching and complaining. They're never happy. If you don't like the goddamn line up, then don't go. It'll be better for us anyways.

[NewModelNo15]

Oh man! This is awesome! That means they're probably gonna hit up the Warfield! I'm there!

It's going to be a bigger venue considering that there's going to be two other bands opening up for them.

Manson and slayer? bluhh i don't like slayer =[

Hopefully they don't tour together in Europe ;|

Ok, I know I'm double posting, but I just had this though. I know not a lot of you are from the Los Angeles area, but, what if Marilyn Manson does a special one time appearance as a warm up at Ozzfest on July 21st, which is here in Los Angeles. I wouldn't put it past them, and since Slipknot did a one time only show back in 2005, just makes you think even more.

[Shattered Dream]

One more note. Just got a call from my mother saying that KLOS, a classic rock station out here in Los Angeles, announced the Marilyn Manson/Slayer Tour. It is official guys.

$20 says Manson is on the crack pipe. Or maybe Eat Me Drink Me, sounds like a Slayer Album.

I got another reply from Hanzel Und Gretyl. At presents their looking into a Manson tour, and if nothing happens, their still going on tour to support their new album due fall of 2007.

Let us only hope, they play for Manson. It would seriously piss me off if those drunk slunt's play live for him...

Either way, I will be seeing Manson reguardless. My only concern is where. Columbus's outdoor pavilion is closing at the end of the year, and already prices there are insane for shit, because they erected an insanly rich hood around it. Will Manson and Slayer proform at one of the four indoor sites? This could very well be an arena sized tour...

Let us only hope, they play for Manson. It would seriously piss me off if those drunk slunt's play live for him...

Either way, I will be seeing Manson reguardless. My only concern is where. Columbus's outdoor pavilion is closing at the end of the year, and already prices there are insane for shit, because they erected an insanly rich hood around it. Will Manson and Slayer proform at one of the four indoor sites? This could very well be an arena sized tour...

Hanzel UND Gretyl would be a fucking awesome opening band for Manson! Great news! I hope that happens. Or, that they open this Manson/Slayer show, so seeing Slayer won't be that painful.

[die Zwillinge]

I want manson to play first and then die a violent death in the slayer pit.

See and that's what I don't want. Manson on first, yes. Die in the Slayer pit? No thank you.

Personally, I was hoping for their own tour to get smaller venues like the 9:30 Club in DC or the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Cheaper tickets and more up close and personal.

I'll hit the floor if Manson plays first, but I'll have to give it serious consideration if they're last. Call me a pussy if you want to, but I really don't want to get bruised and manhandled for hours on end and not have a good time.

As far as the crowd goes, I don't think Manson fans will have a problem with the Slayer fans---it will be vice versa, if there's even a problem. You know, with the guys in makeup, Frankenstein shoes, etc. We're all under the same "metalhead" umbrella, but there are different factions. I'm not stereotyping, but let's face it: some (I said some--not all!) death/speed metal fans don't see the others (goth rock or whatever you want to label Manson, etc) as being metal enough, you know?

I'm not a big fan of death metal, but Slayer are legends and I would like to see them perform. Just not on tour with Manson.

--C

[vht]

I'm betting there is going to be a lot of tension between the fans of each band. If Slayer fans live up to the stereotype, then you're gonna have a bunch of uptight metalhead assholes with elitist attitudes that will want to beat the shit out of every manson fan wearing makeup or womens clothes.

[Damian]

interesting enough, I have TONS of Slayer fans who are into Manson - or at least down to see the show. I think it would actually be a good mix, just for the love of satan :)

[dais]

Yeah i don't think they'll perform at the Warfield if this is a co-headlining tour.. Shame i really like seeing Manson there.

i will definently see manson on this tour, despite Slayer.
I hope Marilyn Manson does a headlining tour afterwards.

I really hope this is some early april fool's joke.

All I hear is wah wah wah. Like I said before, be glad they're on fuckin' tour.








God.

[dais]

Oh believe me, i'm glad they're on tour, I'm definently going to go for a few shows, i'm just not too happy with it being a co-headlining tour. I'm entitled to my opinion. People didn't like SLUNT. I don't Like Slayer.

Slunt was decent. Way better than S.T.U.N., BUT that wasn't a co-headliner. There's a difference between opening and co-headline. Hell, I had to kind of suffer through Hole. Now you suffer through Slayer. Hope you get a bloody rectum at the end of the night from their music.

That's really an unnecessary comment.

That's really an unnecessary comment.

But it's funny, huh?

[TimothySkold6]

Let's hope this isn't another fucking Manson/Jane co-headlining bomb.

I really hope they come to Vancouver. I will make sure to leave work early to get tickets.

[Shattered Dream]

Let's hope this isn't another fucking Manson/Jane co-headlining bomb.

Why did it bomb anyways? Do you think it was a clash of fans?

I've been thinking about this...

A lot of kids are going to this show to see Manson and have a good time, not to be harassed by some drunk middle-aged piece of shit.
Most Slayer fans I've known are pretty cool but there might still be a few worthless dickheads who will try to ruin it for everybody.
If I see any dumbass Slayer fans get out of line I won't hesitate to crack some heads.

[HateTheHater]

I heard it didnt sell shit and that half the place was still empty so it was conceled could be wrong if anyone can confirm anything else. Besides i think it seated 50,000 or more and only sold what between 12-9,000 people.

I heard Jane's Addiction got in a fight and broke up during the tour.
The official statement from Perry Farrell was "exhaustion"...

[MikeSick]

eh, maybe i could get into slayer. i could try to forget all the crappy shit it reminds me of. its not like slayer them selves threatened to kick the fuck out of me. anyhoo, its MARILYN MANSON for fucks sake, i'm not missing that. but i don't shop at wal-mart so i didn't really care that i missed the unholy alliance tour. i would have rather seen GWAR at sounds of the underground, if only sotu didn't have all those shitty hardcore bands in the line up. but meh... i saw them headlining the opera house in toronto. so slayer could be good, as long as their asshole fans don't kill me because i'm not as MEEEEETTTTAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! as they are.

and if it makes anyone feel a certain way i'll just say it...


fuck slayer

[Oamlhtw]

Seems like an odd combination.

If they come around here I'll be sure to miss Slayer's performance and just go for Manson.

[The King]

Best news I've heard so far this year!

[TimothySkold6]

I want fucking tour dates!!!!

[Sherry]

Thank you, Ihtia0. I was sort of worried about maybe missing a show for this tour because I knew that they wouldn't begin the U.S. portion of it until late summer...and we're moving around that time. Looks like I'll miss the StL date. We're leaving the second week of August for Arizona and I know they won't be here before then if they're starting at the end of July. Looks like we'll be settled in in Arizona in plenty of time for Manson to make it out that way. Hell. Maybe we'll go to the LA show too!

*does the happy pee pee dance*

[Nil Three]

Has this been confirmed anywhere besides blabbermouth?

What the hell? No dates have been announced, or am I just out of the loop?

[PoisonedCookies]

Hrm, lets not believe it all, untill we actually see it on the MM site. Shalt we?

(It'd still be a fukken uber death party, with Marilyn Manson.)

Picture it? Skold on Bass with Hanzel Und Greytl, he even speaks German....it'd be....fan fucking tastic.

[Sherry]

What the hell? No dates have been announced, or am I just out of the loop?

Um...did you read the first post that Ihtia0 made in this thread? A summer tour beginning at the end of July on the east coast...
I can do that math in my head.
;P

[DecayingSinner]

I just sent them an e-mail about it. Heh. There is a decent chance of it happening though. HuG is really into Slayer and have mentioned they'd love to play with them, and they opened for Marilyn Manson in 1995-1996, they're coming out with a new album, have been touring pretty heavily lately, they'll be off tour with Cradle of Filth in plenty of time...all the signs are there.

That would be my dream come true. Manson and HuG!!!!!!! I don't know how slayer fans would fit into the equation, but i've seen stranger.

[GeminiBoy]

I am actually really dissappointed. Slayer are SHIT live. They were really boring.

i have to agree. i'm one of the few disappointed with Manson's co-headliners. i've never liked Slayer, and had to smoke quite a fat blunt to semi-enjoy them through ozzfest a few years ago. i'll make sure to arrive after their set on this tour.

Well you said you were going to miss the St. Louis date. How do you know they're going there?

[sAINT]

i totally busted a nut on myself upon reading about the tour and the album. im excited

[Hazekiah]

Well you said you were going to miss the St. Louis date. How do you know they're going there?
Marilyn Manson has played St. Louis on every single tour of the U.S. they've ever done.* (Except OzzFest '97...but it was really just a continuation of the Dead to the World Tour anyway.)

And I've seen every single show Manson's played in St. Louis, in fact...which I plan on keeping up with.

hellz yeah, i'm most definitely going to be there if he comes to st. louis. saw him there on the AAG tour. after the drunken redneck mishap at freakers ball, i'm not sure manson's even allowed back in kansas city anymore. if he is i'm sure he still wont come.

[JeordieChrist]

Slayer's cool but I don't care for their fans.
I do wish Manson would have hooked up with someone better like The Smashing Pumpkins though.

There should be some good opening bands to cancel out the dumbass Slayer fans.

[Autumn_aurorA]

A very weird line-up considering the different fanbases and even more different music styles, but could be interesting I guess

What happened???

well, basically what one would expect when you mix too many rednecks and booze. the crowd was nuts, we were semi close to the front and couldnt move, it was that tight. after manson came out and did the Thaeter/This is the new shit, he walked off stage and they announced that the crowd got too rowdy and the guardrail had to be fixed. that took almost an hour as we impatiently stood by. so he comes back and plays disposable teens, then the song ends, the flags on the stage drops and he walks off again. i knew what was coming next. the rail was busted again and in the announcers words "for the sake of mr. manson we are having to cancel the show". which was lame because the stage was at least a good 11 feet off the ground.
i tried getting out of there before the announcement was made because i knew something was wrong. at one point there was protesters throwing glass and shit, and on my other side i have the swat team/police/crowd control whatever guys with masks and shields and mace. a friend of mine bent down to help a girl up and as he turns he gets pepper sprayed in the face. for no reason. plus we didnt get our $ back. manson made a brief mention of it on his website a few years ago, i have it saved somewhere in my pc. but i doubt he'll be back after that fiasco.

[consummate]

That sucks because shows with no guardrails = completely badass, safety be damned.

[Destroyer]

I think Daughters Of Mara would be great openers. Badass new band with lots of talent and a good mix of sounds.

Listen here....

[Gen Appithy]

Lame. Now i have to deal with slayer fans

Aw, man. I hope Manson plays first so I don't have to sit through that retarded Slayer shit.
i hope manson plays last. that way the slayer fan will be absent durning manson's set.

Oh man! This is awesome! That means they're probably gonna hit up the Warfield! I'm there!

too small. i'd rather see it at the filmore.

uhhh, the fillmore is smaller than the warfield.. or do you mean the floor area of the warfield vs. the floor at the fillmore?

If there is a co-headlining tour and they play in S.F, my money is on the Bill Graham Civic.

[Shane]

I really don't like that he's touring with Slayer.
It really isn't going to affect me, because I don't think Manson even tours here anymore but, all of you still have to put up with dumb slayer fans. Although, there are plenty of dumb Manson fans too..

[channel]

I cannot wait till they hit Denmark.

[gothrose]

I cannot wait till they hit Denmark.

dream on .. they will not play Scandinavia this year, we should accept that :(

the fillmore always seemed bigger to me, but as it turns out the warfield holds 1ooo more people. who knew?

bill graham civic i think is too big for even mason and slayer.

are there any 3-4k capacity venues in sf?

[TimothySkold6]

It's also a North American tour.

I don't believe there are.There used to be the Winterland way back when, but it's no longer open.
I'll be happy as long as they don't play at the cow palace.

Rethinking about this, the Warfield might be possible. We're having a cursive, mastodon, against me co-headlining show, and we just had a bunch of bigger bands perform together [with many of the patrons leaving after the 3rd, and barely anyone staying for the 4th]..

man the cow palace is even bigger then the civic. no way would it end up there.

i just hate the warfield b/c i have having to choose b/t being up close or having a good seat.

maybe they will play two stops in SF (not unheard of for bands) and i can get two tics one in the seats and one on the floor.

After I heard this new single, I think this tour will be a disaster.

Manson may do what some bands do, and like take the song and remix it for the live version to be uber heavy or something. XD DEATH METAL HEART SHAPED GLASSES!!! *Growls*

why would you want to sit down? I'm beyond pissed whenever i have to shit for a show [a.k.a being in the 13th row at the Shoreline during the most amazing Bauhaus performance i've witnessed].
Boy, buy yourself some floor tickets!
plus, there are no drinks allowed in the Warfield balcony..just food and bottled water

Manson mentioned the Slayer tour in either the french press conferance or Henry rollins show, dont remember which.

But you might already know that.

[Iphigora]

He mentioned it in the French press:

Q: What can we look forward to on the forthcoming tour?

MM: Tim Skold will be playing guitar, Rob Holliday on bass. Obviously the remainder of the group but perhaps some surprises as well. This will be a more theatrical show in the manner of the tour for Mechanical Animals. In the USA I’ll probably be playing with Slayer which is rather unexpected. It will be the tour from hell where I intended to introduce the concept of the ‘black love song’.

There you are.

Fantastic! I missed the rock is dead tour but from all the bootleg's it was my favorite. So i shall def not miss it this time around, but i still think with the type of album eat me drink me is going to be, and with all the effect's i dont think slayer would be best to tour with. I hope he change's his mind later on. but then again who know's how this tour will go will go. Either way glad he;s making it more theatrical like mechanical animals tour again.

[CCorporation]

I'm scared of slayer fans.

[Bastardturtle]

Have any of the US dates been announced yet?

It's now confirmed on the official site, no dates though.

yeah I noticed that aswell, I keep checking slayer.net to see if they have put their dates up aswell.

[Tiger Army]

This will be a more theatrical show in the manner of the tour for Mechanical Animals.

I love it. I was only ten during the MA era and I missed it. :(

EDIT: Blah, maybe not. According to spookhouse.net, many of the venues played at on the RID tour were seated. I don't think that will go over well with Slayer, thus keeping me from enjoying Manson's spectacle so a bunch of greasy rednecks can mosh. :( :( :(
