The movie is silent but I think it's soundtracked by a live band with some of the guests bobbing in.

[devilman]

Sounds interesting but I'll still be at Rammstein.

[DomDom1984]

Think this could mean a Slash and The Conspirators set, with him appearing with the silent movie?

[devilman]

Nope, he's going to be with the reformed GnR wherever they are.

[metalicbear]

Well they've already got Lemmy playing that day. Wouldn't surprise me if they book EODM.

I wouldn't go as far as to say reformed GnR, what even is that anyway?

 

Who's to say they will even play festivals.

I saw it a week or two ago and that's pretty much how it works, Henry Rollins will at least be there as he's the narrator.

Volbeat will probably be there too

What's your issue? The definition of GnR or the use of the verb to reform applied to a band? Whether they play festivals or not they'll be rehearsing so Slash is unlikely to be available.

You could always put your Metalicbear head on and ask yourself and then answer in apparently knowing but deliberately vague statements thus fooling us into thinking that you are somehow connected and in the know about what is happening.

Not on the Friday. They've got Nova Rock, Greenfield and DL(F) that weekend too.

Playing on Sunday would guarantee a day ticket pretty much. I guess they would probably sub 2nd again.

Pulled out of Wembley on Sat. Being replaced by Skindred which is better for me. I'm not sure a lot of these bands will be back next year..........

Any source on that?

The Download forum mentions it to and the statement the band released mentioned they would be back next year, in general that is though I imagine.

[DomDom1984]

I'd be happy enough with them on a lower main stage slot, which seems to be the sort of slots they do. Wee bit of nostalgia in there as well.

[DomDom1984]

I don't care who they clash with, if The King Blues do Download, I'm going to be there watching them.

[PastCaring]

Really enjoyed The King Blues in 2011 - but I thought they'd split up?

They reformed yesterday (this new forum is gash on mobile so I apologise for quoting the wrong person here)

[PastCaring]

Yep, they should definitely do Download!

[dentalplan]

Rock on the Range normally have quite a share of acts with Download. This is what was just (apparently, since deleted) leaked by Hellyeah.

A pretty spectacular and surprising (re-)reunion buried on there. Exciting stuff if it's true.

At The Drive In? Where has that come from? I thought they were done (again). 

[devilman]

I'm looking at ROTR and Rocklahoma in 2017. They share heaps of acts with Download. It makes me laugh when people say they are ditching Download because the line ups are repetitive.

Yeah I thought that. I read the line-up and was like 'uh huh' and then opened the image up again to post it here and the name just hit me. 

Hopefully they return with a new album because when a band does a reunion tour and finishes it, they need not be seen again unless they're promising new material. I guess it's not that surprising when you consider that the ATDI reunion ended because ORL started Bosnian Rainbows and CBZ got pissed off that he was doing too much other shit, but then they kissed and made up to do Antemasque shortly after that.

Thinking that they will do early summer this time around and hit Primavera and stuff and probably Download - they'd need 2nd stage headline though, if that's up for grabs. Should wait and see if this is real before plotting their tour though.

Yeah those lineups look cool. But what does that second sentence have to do with anything? Are you just opening up that argument again? Do you just love repeats so much that you want that argument every week.

[Andre91]

Their last reunion looked so lacklustre so I hope that they give more of a damn this time, or at least make it look like they do
