What would Nathan do?
That sounds like a pretty OK lineup. Slayer and Mastodon no doubt. Lamb of God would be fun. Children of Bodom would be OK, I guess.
Thine Eyes Bleed? Anybody know anything about them?

I wish Mastodon wasn't playing behind Children of Boredom. I hate when shitty bands get presedence (sp?).

I'll go just because Slayer rules, but really, they bring out the WORST FUCKING CROWDS. Those SHITTY FUCKING OPENING BANDS aren't going to change that, either.
Bah.
Bah.

Thine Eyes bleed, Araya's brother band. They play some sort of death/metalcore stuff. Not bad but not great. They are signed on TER, go figure why.Nate The Great said:

I care, when:
a) the tickets will be more expensive because of it, and
b) Slayer will get shorted on how long they get to play with all these bands playing before them

Yeah, it was HATEBREED and GOD FORBID.
Let's face it, Slayer don't exactly dig deep into the underground. Most of their support acts slide right off the second stage at OzzFest.
Slayer should do their own "Gigantour" -- like you say, nobody goes to see Slayer for the support acts so they should be a little more adventurous with the support acts IMO. They have nothing to lose.

Before that, it was Soulfly & In Flames.
They SUCK at choosing opening bands. When this comes around, provided tickets aren't stupid pricey, it's safe to say I'll be heading inside just in time to catch Slayer and not one second before.

More info on this tour:
The first date has been announced for the upcoming Unholy Alliance Tour, featuring headliners SLAYER alongside LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON, CHILDREN OF BODOM and THINE EYES BLEED: June 16 at the Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, NJ. Tickets will go on sale on Saturday, March 11. As previously reported, the trek will make stops in most major cities, although the actual routing of the run is still being fleshed out. "Every place we play is going to be indoors, with a good-sized lineup," SLAYER guitarist Kerry King told MTV.com. "We're certainly not going to try to make Ozzfest go away. We're just trying to offer an alternative."
According to Rick Sales, SLAYER's manager of 18 years, the idea's to make the Unholy Alliance Tour an annual event "with the best bands out there." During the fall of 2004, SLAYER, SLIPKNOT, MASTODON and HATEBREED toured Europe under the Unholy Alliance tag. Sales also wants to take the tour global and said following its U.S. run, the Alliance will return to Europe, followed by stints in Japan and Australia although, he noted the lineups would be different on each leg.
"I think we're in a different spot than Ozzfest," Sales told MTV.com. "This is more extreme and it's not involving any sort of 'radio bands.' It's a no-compromise lineup, the best of the breed. We think this is a great live event and that the tour will become bigger than the lineup. I think Ozzfest has proven that."
SLAYER will deliver an hour-plus set to close out each night of the Unholy Alliance; THINE EYES BLEED will open on all dates, followed by BODOM and MASTODON (who'll be rotating slots) and then LAMB OF GOD. King said SLAYER will debut some new material from the stage.

It's going to be in an ARENA? Bah, that guarantees $50+ tickets, for "an hour-plus set" of Slayer?
I'll pass.

Don't get me wrong, some of the greatest metal shows I've ever seen were in arenas, but that was back in the day.
