If this comes to darien lake and i dont go i will....

Murder a small group of seals
With my my bare hands
And then i will wrestle an otter
AND I WILL WIN!
Then i'll throw super hot coffee at a group of old people
By the end of the night i will kill myself
I'm serious
If i dont see them
All these things will happen
I feel sorry for the seals!

 

[Bodomonkey]

I'd love to see Megadeth, but not the other bands...

Alexi said in Finnish MTV interview that they start touring in US mid march. Interview was done at studio so he couldn't tell band they were going to tour with, but obviously he meant this tour. (edit: US leg of the tour if I was unclear)

 

[Warheart999]

Are you sure cob will be on the european leg of the gianttour? Because Alexi only told something about touring the US.

 

[valkokukka]

^You mean me? I'm pretty sure they they won't be on european leg, Alexi said that they start touring mid march from US, then summer festivals, Japan at the summer, europe at the fall.

I meant all people here in general, but thanks, because that was also what I've read. Let's see

 

[The Emptier]
