Family Values Tour 2007 (KoRn, Lamb of God?, Evanescence)

[Kid]

It's been announced that KoRn, Lamb of God, Evanescence, and Aiden will be the Family Values Tour card.

But according to the Lamb of God forums and from a Myspace bulletin (put out by their bands myspace), it's unconfirmed on whether or not they will join the tour. Right now a lot of Lamb of God fans are upset.


I think some of the Lamb of God fans are just a little hesitant to try something new. Yeah, Evanescence and Lamb of God are like the complete opposite but it's something new. Why can't we all just get along? lol


I know I'll go to the tour for sure (KoRn being the main reason). Lamb of God would be another incentive to go.

Whoa. A couple different types of music/bands goin there, should make for an interesting tour there. I like LoG, but went to school as a Cali KoRn kid. Seen them 3 times back on the west coast, I'm curious what kinda show they'd put on, at the east coast. Think Freak on a leash fan base, with a mixture of goth Evanescence fans, would alone be a must see, LoL!

[Kid]

Yup, it reminds me of the 1998's Family Values Tour where they had very different genres up on the stage, specifically one rapper by the name of Ice Cube :p. This years Family Values Tour will be one of those FVT's where we have slightly different genres too.
A lot of the Evanescence fans like KoRn a bit and the LoG fans don't mind KoRn either but LoG fans do mind Evanescence.

[Erica]

LoL! Ice Cube, thought that guy was like, dead or something.

[Kid]

Nah, he's doing movies now.

[Thadda Al-Munik]

Wait, isn't LoG a christian band? If so, they need let go of their bunched up panties.

[Kid]

Lol, they're not a Christian band. And to update ya, LoG got kicked off the venue (Family Values Tour) by KoRn because one of the guitarist was complaining up a storm that the FVT bands were 'leaked' early.

[Erica]

Oh ROFL Thadda!!!...And way ta go KoRn!

[Kid]

Just got tickets to this show :D Can't wait. See who's headlning second stage same time as MCR are doing the main stage?

Anyone else here going?

[Kid]

Yeah, Korn is headlining the second stage which is kind of 'meh' in my opinion. But oh well - there will probably be more people at the second stage ;).

I'm headed down to Boston/Mansfield on July 27th for the Family Values Tour. My friend and I have pit tickets :D. Still in the planning stages though - looks like we will need to check into a hotel because of how long the concert will be (11PM-12AM) and driving back up to Maine takes ATLEAST 2 hours (3 in bad traffic). Thinking about going to Six Flags New England while we're there (which is another 1-2 hour drive).
Maybe we'll cause a little trouble while we're in Mansfield or Boston. TEEPEE THE TURBINE OFFICES! :D

[Kid]

I AM FINALLY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sick of subways and commuter trains for awhile.

Click here (http://kornykid.com/fvt.html) - pictures from the FVT (well of Korn). I took 58 pictures of Korn and some of the other bands (which I have yet to upload). It was a blast.

[Erica]

Awesome pics Kid!!! Did KoRn play much of their new cd that just came out?

[Kid]

Yeah, they played 4 new songs. The only songs that were cut were Fake and Got the Life because of Mansfield's stupid curfew.
