Retarded... Honestly, it's a 59/50 whether this is dubbed or not. I listed mostly to Oi!, not many of those bands made it big and a lot of people never heard of them but... neighbourhood where I hang out here in NYC has been overrun by a bunch of hipster bastards with their retarded "Oh, you've never heard of them..." or "I was listening to them before they were big" snobby attitude. Just makes me want to cringe.

I've always been appalling at remembering actual band names, I genuinely didn't know the eagles did anything big except hotel California, but I know who shoogenlifty (sp?) are. For someone like me, nodding and smiling is dangerous so I just fess up. At the end of the day I'm a folk loving ageing raver, I'm past caring about seeming cool.

Im terrible at lying so I couldnt fall for this...

However, i hear Bum Baby Mountain will be making an appearance on the portaloo stage on Friday. They go every year and I usually have the misfortune of seeing them....

I think his point wasnt why="what were they trying to achieve" but more "isn't it simpler just to do it real". I bet if you took a camera crew to glastonbury it wouldnt take long to get some nuggets like this, and im sorry to say it, but in the states it would probably be easier (just a cultural thing).

A bit like people who say the moon landing is fake. After fooling the russians with fake radar signals from satellites, launching probes with laser reflectors (which can still be seen today)... wouldnt it be easier just to send someone to the moon?

    • Gojira are unoficially confirmed by the organisation at Hellfest since last December already.   Slayer was supposed to be this year as a Mainstage 2 headliner at the place of Volbeat for a thrash day but negotiations fell off. Very likely to be there next year.    MCR I didn't know about but it fits well with Hellfest's desire to keep one day as more punk/rock orientated.    Europe are a confirmed headliner for Sweden Rock 2027. They will not headline HF but we may seem them on the bill. I am very curious who will be the legacy bands next year at HF. There was some backlash after 2025 and a bit of a return to heavier metal on the bill in 2026 - e.g. Gatekeeper on the main stage. The only considerable legacy acts I see coming (if they are in Europe) and haven't been at HF for a while are Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Slash, FFDP (if you count them as legacy), ZZ Top, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. I really hope they manage to pull sth big for the 20th anniversary like AC/DC.
    • Looking forward to Doja Cat letting us all know what is going on later on today. It is a good job that somebody is keeping us informed.
    • They've got a few gigs in Dec/Jan.  Hoping to pick up a couple of tickets for Margate later today
