Miles Kennedy's vocal range is incredible. The fact that he was able to fill in for Axl Rose, Scott Weiland, Andrew Stockdale (Wolfmother - did the song "By the Sword" with Slash) and a few others proves that.
I wouldn't say he was so much "doing an axl impression" than he was singing the songs as they're intended. I saw Slash at Download, and Axl's lot are gonna have to go some way to top that performance.

agree with everyone here. i was at the Finsbury Park gig, and thought before the event 'i can see Rage now and then go see Thirty Seconds to Mars at Download'. turns out Rage were so unbelievably good at Finsbury i had to go see them again 6 days later, and i no way do i regret it, astonishing live band!
-
Stone Sour, Slash, Rage. ACDC fourth.

Cracking weekend, just like last year! don't really see what was wrong with the stewards tbh, the majority were friendly and could have a laugh and a joke, and the other ones, you just have top accept they're working long hours, and probably have a lot of drunken people taking the piss out of them all day long.
Highlights:
Bullet For My Valentine - 3rd time I've seen them and by far the best they've played, sound quality was just right and was a cracking set.
Rage - Again 3rd time and phenomenal as always, short set list but they pack songs into it and no one is ever disappointed
Slash - Probably my favourite set of the weekend, Myles Kennedy absolutely blew my mind, astonishingly good voice. i see Guns n Roses at Reading, and Axl has got to follow that, i dont think he can!
Stone Sour - went to the festival intent on seeing Aerosmith, but was bored after two songs, so went to Stone sour. so glad i did, their set list was incredible, and Corey Taylor could well be the best front man ive seen live, yet to find someone who doesnt like him!
Meh:
Aerosmith
ACDC
Megadeth
Billy Idol
Stone Temple Pilots
Low Points:
Killswitch Engage - i love Killswitch, seen them twice before and theyre one of my favourite bands. i dont know if it was because of where i was standing but the sound quality was awful where we were, nothing like last year

thats me maxed out, only two ive been to so far haha .
-
someone from download. hopefully 30STM, Stonesour or Wolfmother
-
id quite like Rise Against low on mainstage, though it wont happen. Hundred Reasons and Finch would be awesome, Thrice, Millencolin, Mad Caddies on lock up? and King Blues. a handful of them and i'll be thrilled!
-
ive given up on anyone else good being announced for download to be honest. feel like they shat on themselves with the headliners, everyone expected too much, and theyve not really got anything else to back it up. any other bands that i like that get announced will be considered a bonus now! haha
-
But we've paid to go to a 3 day music festival, not a 2 day festival + an AC/DC gig.
The whole point of going to a festival is to see bands, and best thing about festivals is that you get a choice of bands to see at any given time.
If they want to remove some of that choice they should be charging us less, not more.
I was personally planning on seeing DC so I'm not too bothered, but by not telling us that this was happening when we bought our tickets they have been deceitful to us, and thats a bit of a piss take to be honest.
-
i really dont get all this 'being forced' to watch rubbish, if you dont want to watch them and theres no one else on, go back to the campsite. i for one am quite happy about this as i wanted to see Bullet, but it is gunna be a bastard getting anywhere near ACDC after watching them. kinda wish theyd done it on the StoneSour/Aerosmith day instead haha
-
In terms of headliners rumours I think it's worse when you compaire it to Glasonbury, Download Festival or T In The Park
-
im terrified at the prospect of not gettin a ticket haha, ive got two of my mates lined up, one of which already has their ticket, and one of which hasnt and isnt going, and theyre gunna try and get me one too! good lads! of course it could all go terribly wrong if we dont communicate we could end up with 3 haha
-
Yeah i was at Reading and thought their set was pretty dull. they werent bad, i saw Marilyn Manson at download last year so i KNOW bad
. but i did feel slightly disappointed, my mates had said before that theyre an awesome live band. im sure they are, just not at reading two years ago! -
not his is chris cornells way of making easy money. he saw the rest of his money hungry audioslave buddies do it with ratm so hes going to have his bit of the pie himself.
Is this what people want in there music...
-
get Bon Jovi involved
i've seen them twice and theyre f**king awesome. Machine Head will play, at least 3rd, or maybe headlining the 2nd stage. considering they were offered a slot ahead of limp bizkit on the download lineup!!
give me Foo Fighters on friday, Bon Jovi on sunday and somehow convince Nine Inch Nails to reform and headline the saturday night, they were f**king amazing at sonisphere.
bands i want to fill the bill:
Incubus, Jimmy Eat World, Machine Head, Bullet, Biffy Clyro, Funeral for a Friend, Hundred Reasons, Rival Schools, MAd Caddies, Thrice, Killswitch Engage, Buckcherry, the King Blues, Slayer and Megadeth. i could live with that.
-
just noticed - they haven't pulled out of the other sonispheres! bit odd.
-
there are probably faults on both sides.
either way, i think it is really crap of machine head to pull out, and if sonisphere's statement is true then it's pathetic. and i'm leaning towards the sonisphere statement more - the last thing they would want now is for another band to be pulled from the lineup, so i'd imagine they would pull out all the stops to keep them on the bill.
it's of no consequence to me though. i saw them supporting metallica and just didn't really dig it at all. davidian is a great tune, but apart from that i don't care for them.
-
I would feckin love for Machine Head to headline next year, main stage or second stage i dont care id be at the front.
Rammstien, Machine Head, and Aerosmith
That. Would. RULE!!!

hahahahahahahah
what a set of w*nkers
San Francisco metallers MACHINE HEAD have released the following statement:
"It is with the utmost disappointment that we must announce that MACHINE HEAD will not be playing the Sonisphere date at Knebworth in the U.K. on August 2.
"In a turn of events that has left us absolutely baffled, the promoter of the U.K. Sonisphere festival recently placed, unbeknownst to us, LIMP BIZKIT in our third slot on the festival. Seeing as the running order was a significant part of the negotiation and agreement between us and the promoter, and the fact that we had been advertised in that slot since the festival's announcement, you can imagine our surprise when we were 'told' that we would now be playing in the fourth slot, under LIMP BIZKIT, and bizarrely, it was actually expected that we would quietly move down the bill without issue. We will not.
"MACHINE HEAD turned down the U.K.'s Download festival, a festival we are very fond of — which, incidentally, had us above LIMP BIZKIT — to commit to the Knebworth festival, as we felt a closer kinship to the bands performing this year. In an effort to make this situation in Knebworth work, we have spent more than a week striving to resolve this issue in a proper manner. Unfortunately, that did not happen.
"So we have regrettably been left with no choice but to cancel our appearance rather than stand for the disrespect and indignity offered by a promoter who won't honor our agreement. While we know that our fans will be furious about this situation — as are we, beyond words — we trust that you will all understand our position, and we encourage you to voice your opinion about it as loud and clear as possible.
"The rest of our festival dates across Europe, including the other Sonisphere dates, as well as our headline of the Wacken festival remain unchanged."
