gazza_20 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 that doesn't fit the facts of everything he'd said. He said ages ago that he'd booked all three headliners, and there's not a chance in hell that the convo he had with Vodaphone was back before he'd said he'd booked all three headliners. Does not compute. There's a bunch of porkies within all of AC's words about next year. The only thing which isn't clear is which are the porkies and which are not - if that part were to become clear then why the porkies were told is likely to become clear too. Or we can just wait to see who Soni announce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lharris92 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 not being funny but if bullet stay away at least next year then come back after a possible arena tour of sorts, then they most likely will be pushed up to headliners i guess by AC. they've posted a new track which is most likely off their new album and tbh it sounds a lot better than their last album in my opinion, and maybe a move away from the mainstream again (possibly because of the influence from axewound) opinions on it?

huntyyy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think it's a definite move in the same direction as Fever was, straight into the metal mainstream. Which is fine for them, and it'll probably make them into a bigger band. Very polished and commercial. I expect we'll see them next year coming back to Headline Download. That said, I personally don't like it and think it sounds trash. But I never really liked bullet that much anyway, so does't bother me.

Lambo_KoRn Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 On the first listen I quite liked that, I will give them a bit more time I think. Thanks again. It would be rude not you drop one back so he is a band that sounds very similar to Tool and have one of my new favourite metal drummers Martin Lopez (formally of Opeth).

AR93 Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) James Oakley @james_oakley @Maverick_AC @bfmvofficial Does this mean we are getting them for@DownloadFest I'm sure Bullet are due back to Mighty Donnington#DL2013? Andy Copping @Maverick_AC @james_oakley @bfmvofficial @DownloadFest No So no Bullet in 2013, but can we really believe Mr. Copping about anything anymore?!

SOAD Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I can honestly never see Bullet being a strong headliner... they're terrible live and they really dont feel like they have gotten a huge amount bigger than how big they were in 2006... Reading seem to see that also as they only put them one slot higher this year from 2006... that is hardly the sort of step up a headliner of a major festival should make in 6 years.

jump Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) thing why bullet only played 4th, they had no new material it was just a pay day in a sense cause they had toured the album last year so they didn't really warrant a move up. besides there's always going to be other bands jumping above the likes of bullet as they are way more popular for the target audience of R&L. as for that picture... didn't know there was a band called mas.... alsooo didn't realise the background looked that bad Edited October 24, 2012 by jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEMON_WOLF Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Didn't Slipknot go from (being booked) 3rd at Reading to headliner at Download the following year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yep, its cos they were booked to play as well as them doing a UK arena tour the same year so their demand was somewhat less. Bullet will be big enough to headline Download by next year I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEMON_WOLF Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I pretty sure their UK tour wasn't arena and was in Dec which would of been months after they played and announced R&L as I remember talking to a mate who went to see them at Hammersmith around Xmas time.
