I have serious doubts that it will hit the UK, Linkin Park obviously are already scheduled over here, Metallica will be at Reading and Limp Bizkit I don't doubt will tour here sometime this year. It's along the lines of other tours like Family Values which tend to be US only - arena tours don't tend to happen here :/

OMG! How cool would that be?!

It's getting a lot of stick on the internet from certain factions of the fan bases of all bands involved.

Metallica's die hard fans are complaining that Linkin Park and The Bizkit aren't "real" metal and that Metallica have once again sold out (even further). Whereas certain fans from the Nu-Metal crowd are saying that Metallica are now irrelevant. Which is kinda funny if you ask me

Most "sensible" rock fans just see it as a chance to have a great time and see some cool bands.

What interests me is that Metallica still haven't got a replacement bass player. (Producer Bob Rock has played bass on the St. Anger recordings so far an album that's out on June 10th theoretically) and Limp Bizkit still haven't announced their new guitarist. The world of the session player just looked up

Deftones as *suport*!??!

what is this world coming to *cries*

And we know what happened the last time Deftones supported Limp Bizkit don't we?

As much as Love Metallica I doubt I could stomach the other bands. Mind you I could get drunk and blot them out
