Worst Case Scenario

[mrtourette]

What's the dullest and most unispiring potential line-up that you would fear the most?

Still has to semi-realistic so no just listing bands that you hate, but can be a collection of bands that could play but wouldn't get a single drop of your juices flowing.

For example this possible line-up has not one single redeeming feature for me:

Main

Metallica

Biffy

Avenged Sevenfold

Lostprophets

BMTH

SUM41

NME

Friendly Fires

The Temper Trap

Alt-J

Main

Mumford & Sons

Dizzee Rascal

The xx

Maximo Park

Glasvegas

Everything Everything

NME

You me At Six

Brand New

Wild Beasts

Main

Arctic Monkeys

Bloc Party

Placebo

No Doubt

The Enemy

Reverand & The Makers

NME

Chase & Status

I like these line-ups way more than the predictions in the other thread.

Some of the bands mentioned here would really be fairly unexpected and inspiring... I don't think anyone is really predicting Linkin Park, Evanescence, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit or Megadeth. Also, while a lot of the others regularly pop up in predictions, they don't actually end up playing all that often (or at least they haven't for a good 3-4 years) - Skrillex, The Temper Trap, The XX, No Doubt, The Enemy, The Ting Tings, Glasvegas - so even if you don't like them, I don't think you could call them dull bookings.

[mrtourette]

And while Metallica are an incredibly boring booking, they are excellent live and would't put me off.

[mrtourette]
