2009 Rumours

[tom.a7x]

Surely Faith No More being there would be "Epic"

[Bad Girl]

IF FNM did play I wonder if they would do The Real Thing in its entirity? Must be at its (or near) 20 year release date!

Makes me feel old I can remember buying this on the day of release.

[kappa99]

Honestly if Limp Bizkit play they don't deserve to be anywhere near headline, its like 10 years since they had any mainstream success, their last album flopped big time

If Travis can headline V festival in 2002 [although they actually pulled out due to injury last minute] and then return there last year and play 4th down on the 3rd stage, then why imp Bizkit who have had less success than Travis even in recent years be still offered a massive slot?

And I'd put both those acts together as they were both very flavor of the month type acts

[luckysalt]

Did they sell that amount in this country though, I know the point you're making but I think I have a point too, its all about here and now and Limp Bizkit headlining aren't going to sell tickets

[Bad Girl]

i see both points, but reckon LB would be more suited at L/R or even V than download.. but maybe that's coz i'm probably too old to appreciate them!

I don`t think so personally I am 10 years older than you and I appreciate Significant and Choclate starfish lost it after that.It`s a matter of personal taste really.

But would the average aged Download attendee know who they are?Enough to headline?

I think it'd be pretty cool if LimpBizkit played, however id be extremely angry if they headlined any day on the mainstage. They don't deserve to its as simple as that. I have three dollar bill somewhere....i used to love that album!!

To be honest, I haven't really listened to much Faith No More , but im willing to change my ways immediatly if anyone can point me in the right direction on what tracks of theirs to listen to??

[Bad Girl]

ok well imo:

introduce yourself

second album, chuck mosely on vocals

notable songs: faster disco, we care a lot, introduce yourself, spirit

the real thing

first album with mike patton

notable songs: from out of nowhere, falling to pieces, epic (gotta mention that), woodpecker from mars

enjoy

[biffoire]

The great thing about fnm was every album sounded completely different and took a completely different direction to the last. A lot of bands could take a leaf out of their book.

Oh and my recommendation is Angledust! Truely awesome album!

[oscar]

hehe that's ok then, as long as i'm not at that 'too old' age!!

I'd happily watch them if they were lower on the bill, i just don't think they deserve the headline slot now..

Read somewhere (can`t seem to find it though) that Van Halen and Aerosmith are definatly not doing Download.Just thought I would mention it.

[luckysalt]

Aerosmith would have been great

[dan666]

Aerosmith would have been great

[Bad Girl]

Total agreement would add Zombie eaters to the list though.Angel dust was a good album as well.

[oscar]

My mate buys Aerosmiths cds as they come out.Personally I haven`t liked anything they have released since Get a Grip.And only a handful of albums before that.But I have seen them twice and they was awesome both times.

[-pogo-]

The Damned are touring around then.

This would make all my download dreams come true!!

"Rammstein, Manowar, Slipknot, Motley Crue, Korn and Def Leppard are amongst the latest names to be mentioned as possibilities for this year’s Download Festival"

Oh yes please!

With all these rumours bouncing around if the Download promoters f**k it up this year there is definetly something wrong with them.

[darrenbha]

It is definitely starting to shape up. Would be good to hear some concrete news now

[Mike Patton]

If any of the real heavyweight bands come to Britain this Summer, Reading will probably get them.

Pearl Jam, Rage, Pumpkins, Metallica and NIN have all gone there while Download has generally had lightweight rubbish like MCR, Lostprophets, Offspring etc along with old-timers Kiss and Iron Maiden.

2006 was light years ahead of any other lineup Download has had.

Faith No More this year please...
