		<description><![CDATA[
For years, friends of mine on the touring circuit would speak in reverent, hushed tones about the man they called Nightbeast, a roadie and TM for bands like Hawthorne Heights by day, but a one-man musical genius by night.

Everyone&#8217;s favorite middle-aged dudes in clown masks Slipknot will be raking in the dough this summer as headliners of the Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, which will also feature Disturbed, Underoath, Mastodon and a shitload more heavy ass bands, basically picking up where Ozzfest fucked off.

When our good friends Emery recently announced they were ending their run with Switchfoot and Athlete on the TWLOHA-sponsored  Up In Arms Tour a few weeks early, internet naysayers had the rumor mill working overtime.
