just read this on gojiras myspace page.

yea i heard this the other day. i'll be seeing metallica in NYC but the opener is volbeat, no gojira. i don't really like gojira and i'm yet to check out volbeat. really disappointed with lamb of god as the direct support though. i was praying for months it'd be mastodon.

I am sad Gojira won't be doing the entire U.S. tour. I dislike Volbeat a lot. Their sound and singer annoy me. It would have been cool to see a band I really enjoy open for one of my favorite bands.

I will try too make the Atlanta Masquerade show.

I'd love to see burst

Seeing them in Knoxville! Fuck, this is awesome.

I would love to see Gojira in September, but I am seeing AiC, Porcupine Tree, and Down x2 already. I am not sure if I would be able to keep up with school and work. We will see when the time comes.
