I HOPE YOU GOT RAILED TO DEICIDE
Someone announced their wedding to Roadrunner Records, which of course triggered a hail of new In the Pit activity this week.
First, check out the Mail Bag where people asked for Slipknot backstage passes, I gave my best wishes to the newly-engaged, and someone complimented us on the new Black Stone Cherry album.
Sam Totman said there were too many dudes at Mayhem (what else is new?), but he did manage to get snapped with a cute redhead. Check her out in the Fan Photos section.
We're keeping our poll on which RR band would make the best name for a sex act open. VOTE HERE. Currently 36 Crazyfists is in the lead.
Finally, we've gotten a lot of email complimenting us on the Skull Sessions podcast, so we opened up a place for you to comment publicly in this week's Forum.

WANT TO SEE SLIPKNOT ABSOLUTELY FREE?
Okay, we're screwing with you just a bit. Head on over to The Gauntlet to see live Slipknot photos from the Glen Helen Pavilion stop of the Mayhem tour on July 13th.
Don't forget, the band's first new video in years, "Psychosocial", hits the small screen this Friday at 8PM on FN MTV Premieres.

July 16, 5:02 AM
2. KEVIN LENKNER SAID...
How sweet would it be to get free tickets, i ahonestly never won anything and how sweet it would be. I've been following Slipknot since Ozz fest99 witch nobody knew who they where. If is possible i like the August 2nd cause im from pittsburgh, don't worry i don't expect to win.
July 17, 9:23 AM
3. TRISTRAM SALISBURY SAID...
wow, if i could finally see slipknot live in person, i could die in the pit and have a happy death, i'm a sophmore in college and i've been a maggot sense 7th grade in middle school, i've never had luck with these sorts of things but then again they said you can see pictures, theres nothing about free tickets there.

SUNDAY ROADRUNNER BLOG ROUNDUP
Corey Bayless over at Citizen Image got deep in the pit at the opening day of the Mayhem festival. Read about Slipknot, Airbourne, and DragonForce. (UPDATE: Seems to have fixed some of his factual errors.)
Speaking of DragonForce, www.thetanooki.com reports on the band opening a set on the festival in California with a certain video game theme song. Find out that DragonForce opener and tell The Tanooki if the band's ever played their own songs on Guitar Hero.

3. DANIEL SAID...
I'm a huge slipknot fan but dude slipknot is not death metal, there are death metal influences in the music but they are not death metal.
July 13, 9:53 PM
4. BROCK SAID...
Jim is number 4? Not number 7? This guy thinks Slipknot is death metal and he also has no idea who is what number.
July 14, 2:26 AM
5. BROCK SAID...
Here's a list of things I found wrong. Slipknot is not death metal. Dragonforce is one word. Jim Root is number 4, not number 7. Disturbed?s Ten Thousand Fists isn?t new. Corey Taylor isn?t really known better as #8. This article was poorly supported.
July 14, 2:34 AM
6. J SAID...
That Article was garbage. The writer should have did some research on the band before even writing this article.
July 14, 6:03 AM
7. JEREMY ROSEN SAID...
You guys should probably go post that stuff on their site's too. Spread a little knowledge.
July 14, 8:27 AM
8. MATT SAID...
Indeed, Inside the Fire is Disturbed's newest single. Jim is 4...Mick is 7. I'll give him an E for effort but if you're going to write for Roadrunner Records Web site...Know your fucking Bands.
July 14, 3:49 PM

THE HEFF BLOG #1
What is up Mayhem fans?!
My name is Heff and I will be your official Roadrunner Mayhem guide throughout the tour. I come to you from Seattle, WA, where in just 2 days, we will see blistering performances from Machine Head, the drunken debauchery that is Airbourne, insane power riffs from DragonForce and the return of The Nine: Slipknot. Though besides watching these amazing bands play live, Roadrunner Records has a huge surprise for you.
How would you like to watch Slipknot's set from the pit or having a chance to meet the bands? What about hearing new & unreleased music from Slipknot, DragonForce, Killswitch Engage and Dream Theater? Well stop by the Roadrunner Records tent and sign and sign up for our sampler! While you are there, say hello and chill out for awhile.
Be sure to check back for future updates!
See you on the road,
--Heff--
