Loving the odds offered on Guns n Roses for the Dublin Gig:

3/1 on them to arrive on stage more than an hour late

Axl to storm off 4/1

edit - I see the 3/1 didn't last long, now into 7/4 for them to be more than an hour late!

Could be, but as I said on the Soni forums, his facebook update about it says:



Gary Numan Official
There will be another exciting announcement at the end of this week, keep your eyes peeled .. AF


End of the week doesn't really fit in with Download's mid week announcement.

Aaaah fair enough - though that would mean that Sonisphere have to announce something this week..............

Fuck. I love Gary Numan.

This topic seems so out of date due to the title

If Gay Numan and QOTSA are announced for Download then I'm seriously thinking of defecting from Sonisphere to Download before the ticket prices go up.

[kipper64]

Both would definitely secure my ticket, don't see QotSA doing download though, and if they clashed with Sabbath I'd be raging   Can't see them clashing with Prodigy as I'm sure they said Friday's 2nd stage headliner is a more classic rock-esque one.

QOTSA are IMO more likely for R&L under Foo Fighters, but you never know.

[dan666]

QOTSA seem to play R+L quite often tho.

[she bangs the drums]

No QOTSA or Gary Numan for Download, Slash is headlining the second stage so he has to be a doubt for Sonisphere so all this nonsense about the possibility of him playing with Axl and friends can stop.

If GnR are getting back together in the classic form, it will be all over the media beforehand to maximise the revenue.

GNR been announced to play alongside the Cult at some festival in Austria on the 29th of June (it's on the Cult's website).

[kaosmark2]

The Cult have been brilliant every time I've seen them, that'd be a great booking.

That's very close to Soni.

You reckon that Evanescence may well sub to Guns and Roses now?

[kipper64]

I think that's possible, Evanescence seem likely due to no Download - same with Motley Crue...sadly, not a fan of either!

[Couchy]

Are Evanescene still popular... anywhere?

Faith No More
Motley Crue

RATM
Marilyn Manson

Killswitch Engage

Guns and Roses
Evanescence

Queen w/Adam Lambert

[kipper64]

Their tour sold out, didn't it? So yeah, seems so!

Queen would certainly headline of FNM I reckons...out of the 2 FNM are less likely to headline, but seeing as it'll probably be their only UK show of the year and one of few shows this year if they are recording, I can see them headlining.

Care to show me where I said Sonisphere "wouldn't sell any tickets"?

What I've said is that it's quite possible the fest might not sell enough tickets, to the extent that it financially fails and they consider pulling the plug on it.

This ^^^^^ .....

.... is not half of the story.

[t8yman]

come on Neil, spill the beans  

is it really as big as you say it is?
