The Placid Casual Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Book Def Leppard for it just to piss Andy Copping off. I hate Def Leppard as much as the next person with ears, but I'd love to shove it to the guy with the world's 2nd most punchable face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 As long as they're over 60 and still wear a black wife-beater Im happy. See Jeff Beck, Iron Maiden, Ian Gillan et al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I've been consensus-building on Def Leppard for a few years now, but the fact that they're headlining Download marks them out as too big a fish for this particular pond.

Wooderson Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Judas Priest would be a sublime moment in the fest's recent history. Would grind gears until they stank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Lars is officially a 'friend of the festival', it could happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 49 minutes ago, CaledonianGonzo said: For me it actually better ensures the variety. They're less likely to programme a 2008-style all day run of indie landfill if they know they have to keep a slot free for someone like Judas Priest. Hard-disagree on this one. Its patronising to a genre that the festival has largely held in contempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 It kind of smacks of joke shop costume rock. Like seeing some berk playing an inflatable guitar to To You Shook Me All Night Long at a wedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug85 Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 Tenacious D are over this way around that time so they would be good to see however it's more likely to be an act like Bon Jovi or Iggy Pop considering ZZ top etc have done it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Jovi are headline size. They're not comparable to ZZ Top, Iggy or Motorhead IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
