The Third Headliner

[thegremlin_1999]

There are so many reasons that a reformed GNR won't play.

AC/DC are more likely even though they have a show on the friday!

Doesn't rule out Axl Rose and his karaoke pub band though...

I reckon smart moneys on Rammstein, maybe Green Day as it's only one date so the could still do their own shows later in the summer, seems like too much fuss to be FOB or Nickelback but I refuse to rule them out.

Theres more chance of Nirvana headlining with Joel Madden as lead singer, than a GnR reunion.

I'll go along with Green Day or Rammstein being likely shouts.

it ain't gonne be U2, no chance. and is it just me who thinks they're the most over-rated band in the whole world?

[luckysalt]

Their old stuff way back was alright, but the last 10-12 years has been shite

their tune to Batman Forever was proper the last good thing they did

[Salt_On_Everything]

i remember that, that 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me'. reminds me of going on holiday to Scandinavia as a child, haha. i concede, great tune. still totally over-rated tho

Some promising signs leading to Guns n Roses (not the original lineup, obv), but I'm not holding my breath.

[the_mars_volta]

It's either gonna be Guns 'n' Roses or Rammstein.

That is all.

GnR is my bet. Apparently confirmed for a festival in Spain in June. They have to be favourites now.

Also I have my suspicions that south park are right about Bono too!

I find it funny that the organisers are more excited about this year which is potentially GNR Slipknot and Def Leppard over the year it Tool Metallica and GNR. I thought the line up that year was awesome. Especially compared to this years line up. Certainly a far more relevent line up that year.

[Axl]

Slipknot and GnR have new albums out that both did pretty well. Back in '06 GnR hadn't released anything for decades, and Metallica hadn't since St. Anger. Wasn't that more relevant that year.

That said, i maintain that if it is GnR, their special guests will be another big band.

Chinese Democracy didn't really do well, though, did it? I was under the impression that it had absolutely tanked.

I just find it really hard to believe it's gonna be guns n roses. mainly due to downloads director's interview where he said the third headliner was gonna be a band that people would not believe they managed to get. Considering gnr played in 06, they've proved they weren't that hard to get

But from the interviews earlier in the year the directors would have you believe the festival would have the line up of all line ups and if I'm being honest, I think what has been announced has been a joke (with the exception of a small handful of bands). And there isn't any reason to believe the third headliner won't be in the same vein. I mean do they genuinely think def leppard, journey, white snake and zz top are a catch!! Contemparise man!!
