I won't say this is a bad lineup. And it isn't a cheap lineup either, i suppose. And it mostly IS a Metal lineup. Everbody's been talking about last years Graspop, and now look wath THEY did for this year. THAT is a commercial, Nu/Pop-Metal thing.
Nevertheless, I personnally am a bit disappointed, if you look at my signature, I've got some suggestions, most of them would be possible, but very few around yet.
I think the main problem is that we all 've been expecting a faster annoucing of bands. Many of us expected Metallica or another huge headliner to be announced soon. Or we expected the promised Best-Of lineup, which did not really come either. Some of us still miss the very extremes, I personally don't care about that that much, but I can't imagine there not beiing at least one big band for each death and black metal. It just CAN'T be..
The point is, they don't had to mind about the ticket sales going to slow. Speeding it up any further would have cost them a lot of credibility and I hope they noticed that.. yeah I still hope.. they must think something about announcing bands only one by one and many obscure bands at first.. I don't think it will turn out a bad line-up in the end. Sure, it depends on personel taste , I see a lot of my wishes will stay unfullfilled, but that doesen't mean it's a bad lineup.
Well, we can only be patient. Going into rage now isn't good for anything..
