Anaheim’s Honda Center was roaring Friday, September 6th with metalheads stoked to catch Slaughter to Prevail, Marilyn Manson, and Five Finger Death Punch.

What’s better than Black Sabbath? Black Sabbath in the form of McDonald’s characters, greasing classic Sabbath songs with new lyrics aimed at the demise of the fast food industry. That’s what.
