What do you all think of the line-up this year?
Any highlights?
Any bands that shouldnt be given time of day?
It seems to be bands playing on repeat mode to me. I asked Holger if it was possible to have headliners play once every four years and other bands every five years, with 50% of the line-up being bands who have not played before.
To this he says that there is not enough metal bands,which is not the case!
The line up is very predictable in some ways, nobody would of guessed that bands such as Hypocriy, Children of Bodom and cannibal corpse would be playing this year. And there is always some band featuring Napalm Death members in there!
It seems that less and less cult bands play the "cult" festival these days, it must be more for pop kiddies who listen to their chart albums who go ;-)
Personally I think that cannibal corpse and Lock Up arent bands I want to see, both have played in the last three years and I dont feel the need to see them ever;-)
Funny how half the line up is made up with Metal Blade/Nuclear Blast/Century Media bands ;-)
