Who likes volbeat? From what I hear they've got a higher position than people might expect

 

I love them live as they play their good songs. Some of their album stuff is a bit meh. If they headline 2nd I'll be gutted. 3rd from top a la 5fdp last year will be just fine.

[MATTALLICA]

I seen them on the Silver Side Up tour the night after Gig on the Green in 2002. It was all good, if a wee bit short.

 

 

dont care what anyone says but silver side up was a good album , to me it always felt grunge-ey . very simplistic stuff but has some decent rockers

saw them on tour last year and they suprised me how good they were , not a huge fan but like you said they play their good songs live which when seeing any band is a bonus ! , like fred durst said recently people dont show up to festivals to see a bands new stuff , it's the time to play greatest hits

And what are their good songs exactly? I've yet to hear one, unless there's some hidden gems I've missed.

"Bruce has also bought the band a lovely new plane, which means - we *think* - they'll be plotting a worldwide tour off the back of it next year. And somebody's gonna have to pay for that plane."
 

i.e. download is paying for that plane. think we can all almost certainly put our savings on them playing this year without a doubt

lola montez

sad man's tongue

hallejulah goat

doc holliday

That's from September 5th. They've already announced the first leg of their world tour since then. The news that came out a few days after that is the whole reason people began thinking maiden in the first place.

I can't get past the Kurt cobain imitation on that, especially when in hindsight you know how disingenuous it was. At least Bush are still fully behind trying to rip off nirvana. The actual music isn't too shabby though

[Matt42]

In the Rock Werchter forum someone stated that a French DJ apparently said Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Bon Jovi are headlining a european festival this year

Well despite Bullet's drop in popularity they were only denied a number 1 album by Cilla Black on the week she died so there's still plenty of people buying their records it seems. Not too many dates on the 'intimate' tour have sold out though and they won't ever be headliner, I think they killed any chance of that with Temper Temper.

Then put themselves six feet under with the new one (yeah a little dramatic). Two rubbish albums in a row.. Think trying to justify an arena tour last time didn't go so well for them either. I think they'll be lucky if they retain the sort of slots they used to get at Download... with the way they're going don't see any justification putting them above third from top

When you've posted more than 11 times you'll start to know which posters actually can find out information that isn't public and which ones are bullshitters. Lucky is the former

[oneoftherest]

Either way not long go wait, Download announce earlier than most festivals.
