Omg no Marina and the Diamonds yet you have Mumford and Sons and Florence and the Machines :/

Foo Fighters would be amazing but i doubt they will be headlining but you never know (yn)

Would be nice to see some of these at Leeds 2011; The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Paramore, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Prodigy, Queens of the Stone Age, Pendulum, The Verve and Yeah Yeah Yeahs (y)

:lol:

Ahhhh typical Daily Mail taking everything out of context. MCR don't wish for their fans to kill themselves - they just make ordinary folk with taste wish they were dead.

I remember going to a club in Nottingham and these kids wearing MCR hoodies were trying to get in and thought they'd stand better chances if they mingled amongst me and my friends, and my old bass player (an ardant fan of Mayhem, Darkthrone, Burzum and other forms of terribly serious Scandinavian Metal) told them to f**k off. One of the kids threatened to kick the shit out of him; my mate turned around and said, "what are you going to do - write self-loathing abuse on your arm and show it to me on your webcam?". The poor emo child promptly f**ked off.

That, to me, is an MCR fan.

Fantastic anecdote, i'm sure it happened exactly like that, your friend must be hard as nails :rolleyes:

Or...here's a thought, listen to the music, if you'd listened to the new album you'd discover it's a massive departure from the black parade. Now that's a whacky idea, judging the music rather than what clothes they or their fans wear.

How self righteous can one person be, seriously.

How about Rammstein for R&L?

I remember being treated like royalty whenever I brought seemingly the only copy of the 'Du Hast' single in the whole world into the Metal club I used to go to. Fond memories of going to see that band the second time they ever came to Britain at the Astoria in 2001. Awesome live band.

Would love Rammstein to play (easily in my top 5 fave live bands :) ) but doubt they will play. They don't seem to be fans on UK festivals as Download was after them for years and they kept saying no and they only played Soni last year as when they signed to play all the Euro Soni festivals the UK one was apart of that contract. If they were to play another UK festival Download would easily get them over R&L due to previous attempts and a guaranteed headline spot which is about 50/50 if they could get one at R&L and that id they want to play over here at all.

I suppose with Download you could guarantee a good turnout of Metal fans whereas R&L you'd get a mixed bag of all sorts. Bigger audience for their type of music than there is at R&L... but f**k they'd be good. I've had arguments on here in the past with 'Metal fans' about the value of that sort of music at somewhere like R&L but Rammstein are definitely a band I'd love to see again.

Why don't you think they're fans of British festivals then? Health and safety concerns?

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
