Now Helmet and UFA?  

Can we find these UFA lads a show they belong on?

Here is a list not of included bands but limited to that UFA might just get away with opening for:

Saliva

Powerman 5000

Drowning Pool

Disturbed

Linkin Park

Slipknot

Limp Bizkit

Korn

Three Days Grace

Breaking Benjamins

System of  A Down

Head PE

Nothing Face

Mushroom Head

Hanna Montana

or what I would like to see, a nostalgic 1990's NuMetal  Revue

What I think happened is the last couple days of backlash for Testament caused negotiations to happen thus UFA ended up on the Helmet show.

But we can all be thankful that voicing our opinion got them off the Testament show, whew!

Let 'em have Helmet.

Except for the people who want to see Helmet.  There might have been three people at the Testament show that liked UFA.  There will be ZERO Helmet fans that want to see UFA. 

 

ah

 

Helmet will be making fun of UFA for the rest of their tour.

Your evidence is over compelling and I have no choice but to agree and also again declare shenanigans.

Casanatra should be opening this show. Give some talented bands a chance for once.

Second ATWR, or Redoverlunar.  Maybe bring in those other 'Sconnies in Sunday Flood?

I don't disagree.  On the other hand, what Page is doing these days hardly qualifies as "Helmet"

So... um... who's up for a little pre-show meditation? 

Wait... this is at the Rock.

Nevermind.  I'll wait for the annual Grumpy's show.

I think it is some sort of die hard test for the true Helmet fan.

Like those Asian game shows where they get thwacked in the nuts repeatedly until they finally win something.

Changing poop is my anti-drug.

 This made me giggle so much, I think I pee'd a little.

We'll all be looking forward to your review of UFA.
