Oh theres a surprise 2 replies to my comment off guess who...

I am in no way saing they are a "slab of dull american rock" and will almost definetly watch them and hopefully enjoy them, but dissing Iron Maiden as a comeback merely suggests that they are an inferior band..

Oh have a laugh mate..! :blink:

I slated Iron Maiden because they are an incredibly boring band...I find absolutely nothing about them or their music interesting. They bored the living hell out of me at Reading last year, so I promptly left and was entertained much more by Echo & The Bunnymen.

Pearl Jam are the best weekend headliner Reading will ever have...so just enjoy them.

Yes because they are your favourite band they will be the best weekend headliner ever..

I thought the same about Maiden, but this close minded view and hatred of other bands is simply boring to be honest, and I bet the mighty Pearl Jam were influenced by Maiden anyway..

Mike McCready likes Iron Maiden, yes. But I wouldn't say there's much influence from them on the sound of Pearl Jam at all.

Pearl Jam will be the best weekend headliner ever...in my opinion.

Iron Maiden were outrageously boring...they're a bunch of old geezers who think it's still 1980. Their music now is just as dull as the music they made back then. But if you like them then that's your choice.

There's no point in making it a Pearl Jam vs Iron Maiden...because there's no contest.

Download it, why I was listening to that track, oh before you were born. *Godamit have I really reached that age now* Anyway, its not punk, though Paul Dianno was a punk vocalist (preferred it to Dickensons voice, buts thats my opinion rather than the actual case).

Prowler and Sanctuary are easily the more punk of Maiden tracks (pre-91 anyway, wouldn't know after that). Incidentally, did they play them last year?

Yeah, they ended on Sanctuary and Running Free was in the encore. Prowler was towards the start.

I have a feeling Pearl Jams live performance could go 'over the head' of alot of the youth in the crowd, I've got a feeling it's not gonna be the sort of thing we're looking for.

Well as this is getting all ageist, may I suggest to the 'kids' to keep that open mind of theirs that they are always preaching about, and watch Pearl Jam Tabula Rasa. Because they have consistently been a great live band over many years and 'when I was your age' they were unrivalled and there were some great live acts around at that time (some contemporary live bands to note: Nirvana, Soundgarden, RATM, Alice in Chains, GnR, NIN, Tool etc none of which, could touch Pearl Jam, I know I was there, I saw them) :blink:

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
