what do people think of this - http://www.music-new...p?nItemID=48999

no idea if its true or been taken out of context etc but would be interesting to see what happens if it went ahead

My gut says it won't happen, being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame might get all those guys in the same room, it may even get a one off performance but I'm sure they've been offered silly money to reunite before so it would surprise me if all of a sudden they changed their mind.

HOWEVER

• Duff did play with them when they last came to the UK

• Could potentially explain why it's taken so long to get them solidly booked when they were one of the first names to be thrown about as a third headliner.

• I suppose you can never say never when it comes to band reunions.

Either way we probably wouldn't find out until closer to the induction and as I said to start with... my gut says no! ; )

[gazza_20]

Something like that?

Guns N' Roses

The Offspring

Enter Shikari

Wolfmother

Faith No More

Korn

Marilyn Manson

Mastodon

Queen with Adam Lambert

Evanescence

Within Temptation

Hart Attack made that poster didn't he?

Although Id say most of it is probably correct and after all this time Soni will have ended up with a decent line up after all. I say decent as in it will sell enough, but it isn't to my tastes as an overall line up. There's some acts I'd watch mind.

I really don't think Korn are gunna be there however, they've announced nothing so far have they? Are they not just doing US this summer? I thought perhaps Reading might have them

Hart atack is lurking in the thread, confirm ya made it bud!

[Hart Attack]

It's more fun to just watch.

Really though, as I just posted on the Download forums, I made the poster. It's not a leak, just a guess. Although I like to think a pretty good one.

[luckysalt]

Surprised Neil has gone ahead and put it up as all rumours, to be fair its a great guess mind

[Hart Attack]

I wonder who this media source of his is? Have they confused my poster for the genuine article and passed on inaccurate information, or have I just made a really accurate prediction?

It looks likely and that would mean all the Download / Soni headliners this year are a bit classicy.

[luckysalt]

I think you made a poster that looks accurate but with a good selection of bands expected to play. I can't believe that Neil would SR all of them without good reason too.

On the Korn thing, if they were total exclusive they wouldn't need to announce any dates of anything else really. I see Skrillex isn't even as a R now. I reckon he may be subbing the dance tent at R&L? Dave Grohl has recently said I fucking love Skrillex.

how is that "pulling tricks"? rammstein would have played download if soni wasnt on the calendar, and vice versa. I wouldnt be gutted if soni survived and DL died, i just prefer donington park as a venue. the walk isnt that big a deal, and the campsite at soni is fucking awful. that hill from the arena is a pisstake.

someone who shouldn't have been so foolish said I should. I took their word and didn't check anything further.

If Shikari are at Soni would it make them less likely for R+L?

Pretty much yes, although I'm sure they would appeal more to a Reading audience overall than Sonisphere. Nonetheless, they would be a decent booking!

[gazza_20]

Dude, you blind?

He's still there, SR as he has been for ages

[biffoire]

If they did get back together as the 'classic line up' then they would milk it for all they could and would do a World Tour of their own, they have already announced they are playing many shows in Europe under the current line up, it would be very naive of anyone to think they just going to rock up at Sonisphere with Slash and Duff etc. It may happen in the future but if it did there would be a big build up to it in the same way as The Stone Roses and Black Sabbath announced their respective comeback tours.

If they play Sonisphere then it will be with the same line up that played Reading and Leeds.
