UK Line Up Announced

[kipper64]

no i didn't.

[edgar]

See, you did, and now you seem to be heralding th eprospect of Bon Jovi and AC/DC as the greatest lineup ever, when both bands are even more classic rock than the current Sonisphere lineup.

[kipper64]

i didn't ever say it was 'too old school' though did i? i said there's no bands that interest me.

which, incidentally is still true after today's announcement.

[edgar]

You complained that it looked like a MOR lineup from 1988, then said you like Classic Rock, but this is too much and it should be more varied.

So yes, you did complain its too old school, or too classic rock (even though most of the bands arent considered classic rock).

The quotes are right above in my previous post so theres no point in denying it

Fair enough none of the bands interest you but thats not what your original complaint was, then to herald two actual classic rock bands as the greatest lineup ever is just a tad contradictory

[kipper64]

you're still wrong i'm afraid. the '1988' comment was an observation more than a complaint. and as i previously pointed out, and i believe this is verbatim: 'i like a bit of classic rock as much as the next guy'.

as it happens, the lineup has recently become 'more varied', but has still not become good. in my opinion.

He said... you said...

Let's all have an argument about it.

When I was looked at the other Sonispheres to see who might be playing the UK one as well

The Finland and Sweden ones happen the following week after the UK one at the same time the same weekend

Finland is a two day fest and Sweden is a one day and look at the line ups then

SWEDEN 7TH AUGUST

IRON MAIDEN

HEAVEN AND HELL

MOTLEY CRUE

ALICE COOPER

IGGY AND THE STOOGES

SLAYER

ANTHRAX

-----------------------------------

FINLAND 7TH AUGUST

HIM

FINLAND 8TH AUGUST

IRON MAIDEN

HEAVEN AND HELL

MOTLEY CRUE

ALICE COOPER

IGGY AND THE STOOGES

SLAYER

ANTHRAX

FINLAND UNKNOWN DAY

THE CULT

So from that Finland has the whole of the other day to book, so theres a lot of acts from that day that could play ours or they could be getting Fear Factory, Placebo etc

It also makes you think that Megadeth and Metallica aren't going to be doing any of these three fests. But it looks like Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Iggy, Slayer and Anthrax could all be playing the same day at the UK Soni

Also Placebo, Bring Me The Horizon and Henry Rollins is Sunday, looks like theres a lot to be announced for Saturday UK Soni still going by this. Of course I could just be talking bollocks

quiet, you.

ANYWAY. i like bon jovi and ac/dc, i don't like anyone that's playing sonisphere so far. get over it.

[Matticus]

sonispheres line up has gone "classic rock" ways because of the success of download's sunday line up last year. that day went down very well, and obviously sonisphere are looking to cash in on this.

Imagine if they had all those older bands announced, plus metallica as a secret slot all on one day! (obviously not gunna happen as some bands confirmed other days) that would be immense

Iron Maiden

Metallica

Slayer

Megadeth

Anthrax

Alice Cooper

Motley Crue

Motorhead

Iggy Pop And The Stooges

The Cult

That would be effing brilliant!

[luckysalt]

2- Anthrax

[edgar]

Not gonna happen

Too much metal in one day

BMTH should be higher

Metallica won't play UNLESS they do a secret set.

[Collision]

bmth should be banned.

I think Ive mentioned this before but surely Clutch and Black Label Society will be added to Sonisphere, both playing the lower stage at High Voltage the week before Soni. Surely they wouldn't come over to the UK just to do that?

Especially as they haven't been announced as an exclusive. Id be f**king made up if they do play Soni too

[luckysalt]

One of those bands my mate has heard from a very reliable source are booked to play.

[Spiral_Low]

I asked in the Download forum but I will here too, who?

I saw you said it wasn't someone who had been mentioned, hmmm

Well I think Bullet will defo play, Every Time I Die have self confirmed

Is it AFI?

[wee_insomniac]

I reckon it will be Bullet For My Valentine... Booked for Rock Am Ring, almost guaranteed!

[luckysalt]

Me too, badly. Love them

Plus Clutch were f**king quality at Download last year, so they're always welcome on a line up
