bifta23 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 How well were they known in 1988 when they supported Slayer in Edinburgh though?Would say they were well known as Survive was out then and they had just released the EP of covers. Are Trivium really headlining this tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan G Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 How well were they known in 1988 when they supported Slayer in Edinburgh though?Slayer had only just released south of heaven and had only been around for 5-6 years by then - so I'm guessing most of their die-hard nutter fans were in their relative youth and still had a good decade or 2 to get that lifelong Slayer obsession and dedication going.

bifta23 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 Unfortunately I missed Malice on the Reign in Pain tour so cant confirm how they went down as support. Was pretty mental with nutters running down the back of seats in the Playhouse and whacking each other with bullet belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
