New Trivium Video...

I just can't take a band seriously that looks like this:

What's wrong with how King Diamond looks?

Nothing in my book.
Countless other bands wanted to look like him.

Don't think too many bands "want" to look like Trivium.

Don't take this too seriously. Trivium are an easy mark....

The same was said back before PP III about BG, GRay, etc.

However, I have *zero* desire to book them.

Really? Why?
They are very professional (regardless of their cheesy image).
Plus they have both National and International appeal, and haven't played any US festival in a very long time.

With a new album on its way, I think they would be a good fit.
(Esp with touring 2007 with RoF)

They are indeed professional on stage. However, there is no way that I would put up with the baggage that goes along with them behind the scenes. That has reached legendary status in the booking circles.

In the states, they travel with a MUCH smaller crew than when overseas.
Their motorcycle tech went to my high school, so I have spent sometime "behind the scenes" with Manowar.
I have never witnessed any issues.
Most of the "shenanigans" takes place back at the hotel! :lol:

(Though I have of course never seen contracts, riders, etc, so I can't say with 100% certainty that dealing with them is as easy as pie).
 
Jasonic. Play the video... don't watch it. And tell me what you think of the -music-. Not that.. anybody has commented on the music =D

Metal. Where fashion rules.

I will give it a listen later. I am not very interested.
I have seen a couple videos and saw them live once.
I just simply don't care for the music.

As I said, their promo photos are plain awful, and just serve as fodder for their haterz....
