Opeth almost supported Tool, may do so in the future

I read an interesting article on Blabbermouth today, in which Mikael Ã…kerfeldt from Opeth revealed that they almost became the support act for the summer Tool tour: Other news, we’d been offered a support tour in the U.S. by TOOL but we didn’t get it this time, Hopefully in the future it might work out.

Report from Wine Signings

DoubleSixx was nice enough to send me his report from the recent Wine Signings with Maynard and Eric in the USA.  For a detailed look into how the day went, read on… I arrived 4:25pm, with at least what looked like a hundred people online outside the building.

The Melvins USA Tour in August/September

According to Blabbermouth, The Melvins will be touring with the band Down (featuring that douchebag from Pantera) in August and September this year.  The article mentions “select U.S. markets” so I’m guessing it won’t be an extensive tour, probably just the larger cities.  Dates will be posted once I get them.
