Slipknot Reign In Toronto

By Pete Richards (CHARTattack) May 4, 2009 3:42 pm
The vibe outside of Toronto's Ricoh Coliseum on Friday night would've been more Heavy Metal Parking Lot-ish if it wasn't for the drizzly weather, though made-up and masked fans could be seen tossing beer cans while screaming at and scaring the daylights out of innocent passersby before the show.

As Slipknot proved on their first two albums and their various side-projects, the band are light-years beyond any other band when it comes to melodic metal. With guidance from Rick...
