MCR

[Bisque]

Trying to match the sub with MCR must be where all the depressing 30STM suggestions are coming from.

[allan14]

I agree with that point completly, I loved Blink182 last year and the build up and the type of bands that played underneath were all suited. From Limp Bizkit upwards was brilliant, Weezer Paramore and Blink182 to top it off.

Same for G'N'R, Biffy and QOTSA, but who on earth would suit MCR? Good Charlote? It would be such a depessing day. They would need to have some good bands undernath to even make the main stage sound medioca anyways!

Who would Sub and be on the same day?

I just really regret not going to Reading '04... 50 Cent looks like he get annihilated on the youtube videos.

MCR definitely got bottled when they played after Fightstar but I think most ammo was wasted the set before on Charlie.

My mate told me a story of some guy in a wheelchair was watching fifty and he get's up, picks up the wheelchair and hurls at him.

I saw them at the Brighton Centre (only went for Enter Shikari I promise & I got a ticket for a fiver) & despite Jared Leto splurting loads of balls about how he loves the UK crowds etc they were pretty alright. Set went on forever though.

[Bisque]

I know this isn't about MCR but...

Similar scenes for 2011?

[PurpleFire]

It's looking like Prodigy and other people are saying 30 Seconds To Mars. It's not only emo bands that could play underneath, they have big stage theatrics and could get bands similar to that.

[Bisque]

haha i must be one of the only people that hant seen them yet! but i hav heard good thing accept them making the crowd sing half there set, i still dont think they are big enough to sub yet tho. i think they would be good third from top on the mcr day.

[allan14]

Id put 30STM under Muse everyday of the week, would be a great end to the day.

Maybe bands like You Me At Six, All Time Low, Lostprophets(Again?!), Sum 41, Billy Talent, House Of Pain!, Good Charlotte?

I could see those been tossed into the mix but thats very similar to last year! I mean its far easyier to find bands thats support The Strokes in there type of genre. Vampire Weekend, The View, Libertines (I missed out last year, I went for CC and Enter and then stayed for Pendulum because im quite the fan lol).

[moshing]

I don't know why people bothered to see him when they could of seen the beautiful Melissa Auf Der Maur instead.

that would be you me @ 6, lostprphets and billy talents 3rd year in a row tho...House of pain would go down well tho in limp bizkits slot from last year .. i could see pendulum playing on the mcr day maybi 3rd down

Exactly, there dosent seem to be any flow if MCR headline! It would all just be a mix match of bands from all genres which means moving about a lot if you a festival goer. Leeds try and put acts that fit well together. Aracde Fire day last year had a very very indie sound to it all day except Dizzee Rascal who was god dam awful and i left after three songs!

[Bisque]

yea i see what u mean it would be an odd day thats for sure.. for the record i thought dizzee rascal was really good last year !

[allan14]

He was f**king sick! Good history with R+L too could make him a potential headliner in the future. Reading was the best out of his Glasto & Bestival sets. There were mosh pits cropping up past the mixing desk. Although I was severely hammered so judgement may be skewed.

[jump]

Totally agree with this - Auf Der Maur were great. You weren't the guy stood behind me constantly shouting 'Love you Melissa' were you??

id love if the offspring played .. theres been lots of talk about them so hw likly does every1 think they are ?

[mrtourette]

I dunno, I think it detracts from a day if there's a 'flow' of bands that suit each other. If you don't like that music then it pretty much takes a whole stage out for a whole day. If the main stage was something like MCR, 30STM, Lost Prophets, Good Charlotte, You Me @ 6 and All Time Low I'd be as far away as possible. I think festivals should mix it up a bit.

yea he was amazing.. yea i think one more album and he will be given the chance to headline somwhere will prob be V that gives him the chance first i would think tho

[jump]

He's already headlined Global Gathering & Beach Break Live... plus subbed Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. But yeh probably V.

Offspring will need a new album out & be good to get anywhere near subbing these days. Could even see them headlining Lock Up but might be too big (feel free to disagree with me on that, but I can "imagine" them playing in that sweaty tent at night).

House of Pain would be so good, but I'm not sure if The Prodigy will be back so soon since 2009 unless they are releasing anything this year

[Bisque]

Bestival too, and that's 50k (?) people. It won't be too long till he's a headliner unless he goes like Prodigy and forever be the sub.

I disagree with you about Offspring on Lock Up but really can't be arsed to argue that again.
