Trivium About To Get Their Shit Ruined.

[K]

Tickets for the European Crusade just went on sale. Being supported by mother fucking Annihilator!

How the fuck does that work? I think this is going to be one of those occasions where the Headliner is severely overshadowed by the support.

SHould be fucking rocking though, buying a ticket now.

[Bushmeister]

At least there should be a horrible influx of old-school thrashers in the audience, thus making the mosh pit one of the more hostile places on the planet for a few nights (Y) Good times.

[GhostMachine]

Annihilator? As in the band that did the song Alison Hell ages ago?

How many different lead singers have they had so far?

Yes. In all honesty it should be the other way round.

[fourstarfizzle]

I actually saw a video off the new Trivium album yesterday, having never really heard it. And to be fair, they fucked their shit up when they tried to become Metallica.

[Summers]

Asif the bastards aren't coming to Birmingham.

WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME, TRIVIUM!?

Well if the London show was any indication there is a high probability Trivium will be treated like shit by the audience.

TRIVIUM Frontman Battles Urine-Filled Balloons At London Gig - Dec. 23, 2006

A BLABBERMOUTH.NET visitor by the name of George Byron-Roberts has submitted the following report:

"TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy interrupted the band's set [as the support act for IRON MAIDEN]at Earl's Court, London last night [Friday, Dec. 22] to chide members of the audience after being subjected to a barrage of urine-filled balloons and bottles. Heafy and bassist Paolo Gregoletto were showered with urine during their performance of 'Like Light to the Flies'. Heafy angrily declared that the act was 'really wrong' and that if he saw anyone throwing things at the band he would see that they were 'thrown the fuck out" and 'beaten the fuck up.'

"The left hand side of the stage had been rowdy with fervent disapproval for TRIVIUM and their frontman from the beginning of their set, the band being lambasted with cries of 'death to false metal' between each of their songs; and throughout the set there was a constant exchange of rude gestures between Heafy and the antagonists. An attempt to block the missiles with a U.S. flag was shouted down by British fans, who angrily turned on the American fans, a group of young men and women who had travelled all the way from the USA to see TRIVIUM perform.

"Heafy's polemic (after battling through the rest of the song) lasted almost five minutes. However IRON MAIDEN frontman Bruce Dickinson was unusually quiet about the event, preferring to focus his rant on the safety of fans at the front of the crowd and the horrors of war."

A two-minute video clip of TRIVIUM frontman Matt Heafy having an audience member ejected from their December 12, 2006 show at the Birmingham NEC for allegedly throwing bottles at the band can be found at YouTube.com.

For those who didn't see it.

^ Same incident, different cameras.

'Post That Shit On The Internet And Bitch About It'

[Liam]

I dunno what it is, but I totally lost my interest in Trivium over the past year, after loving Ascendancy.

[K]

^ Same. They opened for Maiden pretty well, but I just don't care enough about this new album to listen to it much, I much prefer Ascendancy. And when they play the Ascendancy stuff, all the screamy songs are left out, or the scream lyrics are left to the audience.

[Tarheels.]

I loved Ascendancy but I bought Crusade on Sunday and I really don't like it at all. They were good, but I've really lost all interest in them after that.

[Cactus Drags]

I feel the same way as Keith and Liam. Ember to inferno is great, Ascendancy is great, Crusades is...meh. Doesn't give anyone the right to shower them in piss, mind.

I really want to see Annihilator though. Best make sure not tow ear my Trivium shirt if/when I do so though

[Nerf]

Everyone at Manchester was really sucky for Trivium. Granted, they impressed me somewhat, but I'd much have preferred some drama.
