I know it's been suggested a lot already, but if they're playing it has to be Sunday.

Cos it's just about impossible for them to do Fiday, and they can't headline Saturday (that's New Order I believe) so they must be Sunday.

Subbing The Prodigy

[Bisque]

Going to be a big clash if they are up against Coldplay. Hoping they'll sub so I can catch a bit of both but they deserve to headline other or su- Pyramid, the latter being the odder choice of the two.

[jonday81]

Hope Bring Me The Horizon confirm Glasto at the NME Awards later.

[dentalplan]

Good call. If you could hope Radiohead headline instead of Muse then that'd be great.

 

Back to BMTH; some dreadful miming at the NME awards (video on here). And they only did one song didn't they? His voice must be proper fucked.

Aye he couldn't really scream back when that was their thing and he definitely can't sing - almost entirely backing track with his contribution mostly being as a hype man of sorts

[deadpheasant]

They'll either be awful or incredible. Either way I'll probably be at the Park. If there's literally noone on any other stage I want to see, I'll see Bring Me over Coldplay.

I read that as Bring Me The Coldplay. 

The Chris Martin supergroup terrifyingly realised. 

[Vanderlyle]

is it confirmed that they're headlining?

He barely used the backing track except for on Happy Song and Throne I believe when I saw them at The O2 and his voice was alright. 

He's not using any here and he sounds alright considering the song 
 

Edit: This from Download a couple of years ago, his voice sounds very good here too

I'm assuming a plinth is going to be setup on Sunday night where we can all watch the Penguin have a meltdown betwixt the sounds of Coldplay and bmtth.

[not worthy]

Go on then , explain to me, as I have not tripped across them before

What are they, as in who do they appeal to?

They're not metal, as in Machine Head metal - please see Davidian (track) if you're not familiar.

So, are they kind of a Linkin Park type thingy?????? kind of like a light intro to something a bit louder that you soon dispense with later 

Not taking the piss, genuinely inviting folks who know them/like them to tell me what they compare to most directly

I think Linkin Park is a pretty apt comparison, they mainly appeal to teenagers and started out much heavier but now they're basically an arena-rock band.

[mrtourette]

Just don't tell the teenagers that.

[not worthy]

OK, I think I've got it....that'll be me at the Park then, cheers all

Their early stuff is alot heavier than Machine Head, they were pretty much one of the first big deathcore bands. These days yeah they're pretty much linkin park without the rapping.

 

[Wooderson]

"Deathcore"?

You're not wrong! Early BMT(t)H :

and then they decided they wanted to sell records.

 

... but Machine Head IS still heavier though

Nah, like Biffy most of the early fans are deluded that the band they like is still edgy and alternative.

Like Incubus fans ... whereas I know that Incubus only released three albums before they were all replaced by lookalikes (just like Paul McCartney was).

Bring me the Horizon sound like Linkin Park to me these days, early Linkin Park like Meteora.

Biffy were excellent, Puzzle was good but that was the mainstream changeover, since then I've gradually lost interest, they are very different from what they once were. What they did before wasn't really arena or headliner friendly without a shift in the mainstream conscious and plenty out there just won't allow such a thing to gather momentum.
