You see, Chris Martin is just annoying.

I think Bono might actually perceive himself to be the best person anywhere ever.

[Gucci Piggy]

Give me any of the above over Liam Gallagher any day.

[cornucopia]

Chris Martin is the biggest tw@t going. End of!

He had some bloke kicked out of a GnR gig because he was wearing a Slash tshirt yeah

To be absolutely honest, I have no idea real who could headline Download next year, I think there are a few bands who could headline and sub.

• Avenged Sevenfold's new taster plays the same riff over and over again, I personally cannot see them headlining,
• Avenged Sevenfold would be a great sub to a classic rock band of which there could be several (AC/DC, GN'R, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi).
• Nine Inch Nails are a legendary band who I admire massively, they IMO should headline with a similar status of The Prodigy in 2012 (being a slightly out of the box headliner).
• Tool apart from playing Ozzfest Japan I can't see playing although I haven't really discovered them yet.
• Foo Fighters and Muse could be a larger more Reading/Glastonbury associated bands, more usual festival names.
• Pearl Jam are a tricky one despite being a Download esque band they are being talked about for Reading and many people would love them to play Glasto (Mr Eavis probably won't book them though for the foreseeable future anyway)

This is what I reckon next year could be:

Friday

Main Stage: Pearl Jam // The Smashing Pumpkins // Weezer // Killswitch Engage

2nd Stage: Marilyn Manson // Skindred

Saturday

Main Stage: Avenged Sevenfold // Deftones // Bring Me the Horizon // Within Temptation

2nd Stage: Megadeth // Trivium

Sunday

Main Stage: Tool // Nine Inch Nails // Placebo // Dream Theater

2nd Stage: Disturbed // Lamb of God

There's a couple less heavy bands thrown in there but I reckon they'd actually go down quite well because of crossover with other acts.

[rawaudioinput]

Maybe Iggy & the Stooges instead of Megadeth? I don't know if he'd be a big enough draw; would be good though.

[devilman]

Pearl Jam, A7X and RATM. Not a great year but I'm all over it especially as Seether will be there too. Last Saxon gig ever. You heard it here first, take it to the bank whilst you still can.

[dentalplan]

Smashing Pumpkins are recording two albums after this tour ends. No Download 2014 for them.

I think PJ could be tempted away with a big outdoor Hyde Park or Olympic Park gig. Could go either way though I suppose.

[Dead throne]

[W!NNER]

Good. Both times i've seen Disturbed I thought they were absolutely awful live.

[devilman]

The bit I caught last year they were pretty good. I also saw them as part of the Taste of Chaos tour and they were good then. I wasn't a fan before that but they were slowly winning me over and then broke up!

[W!NNER]

I saw them on the TOC tour myself in Manchester. Papa Roach showed them up, then when I saw them last year I just thought they were dreadful again. Atmosphere was great, just didn't enjoy either performance

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

this is what i reckon with ratm, i think reading will fight for them if metallica aren't ready and while there is time, i can imagine them locking them in asap
