I bet the Fairfax County Master of Metal is celebrating the news with a big gulp of mountain dew and a box of pizza bagels.

Rock on.

Stadium shows?

Fedex Field? Nats Park? RFK?

Naw, package shows like this will get some interest. I never liked any of these bands, but even I might go for yuks.

I don't think Fedex is an option (too big), but I think the bands could sell about 40K seats even if the economy sucks. They really have to price the show right though and not try to get away with the $150 a head shit that fart bands like the Eagles do.

M&T Bank Stadium may be a good venue too, get some of those Baltimore creeps in the mix too.

I think this lineup will be one of the better sellers of the season. Live Nation may have it right for once.

I have zero interest in seeing any of these bands, but if they actually did play at Jaxx I'd pay a 100-200 bucks to see that.

But it will be some dumb arena show instead.

I am there as long as it's a reasonable drive. I'm not that metal anymore.

I went to Summer Sanitarium in like '03 which was held at FedEx and it was sold out. Yes, there were 4 other bands there, but this is the big 4 of thrash. I think it's plenty for these guys.

This concert could sell out FedEx easily 3 nights in a row and people would pay 100 for the worst seats no problem. Metal fans are loyal.

I think they could fill a stadium, at worst Merriweather and Nissan on consecutive nights. I can't see Fedex sold out for more than one night, I think 40 to 60K is very possible.
