BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE - FINALLY IN WACKEN!!!

[Spindelta]

Are u sure about MH?Soulfly...yeah,they were in the previous year,but MH were in 2005 and "The Blackening" is coming in a month...

Sorry, what are you getting at here? I was just naming Machine Head as a more popular metal band who are only just suitable for Wacken.

As for Metal Camp...

The line-up isn't huge, and I have no idea of the size of this festival compared to Wacken. But they have some of the best bands from Wacken this year.

And I am trying to find out if MH will be on Wacken this year.

MACHINE HEAD!!! woo!!!! be cool if they go

I'm in the middle on this...
I'm not a BFMV fan, and think their mix of emo and metal is pretty weak.
But on the other hand, I saw them supporting Guns n Roses last summer and they actually put on a good performance.
They're one of those bands who, despite being totally wank on cd, redeem themselves with an energetic and powerful live show.

At the same time, I 100% agree with everyone saying that they don't belong on this bill.

But, instead of doing the typical Download Festival thing of throwing bottles of piss at them, why not just turn around and buy a few beers while they're on?

As for their logo being on the shirts, if anyone comments saying "You saw BFMV, you're an emo fag", tell them that you didn't want them there, you didn't watch their set and that they (the person commenting) should piss off and gut themself with a broken bottle.

Remember you're not paying 99 Euros for a BFMV ticket, but a WACKEN FESTIVAL ticket, to see amazing bands such as Immortal, Blind Guardian, Grave Digger, Rage, Sodom, etc

i agree with you and Ghost of Perdition
yea some people may hate them.. but why ruin it for other people?
and for me its not 99 euros its £240 :S lol darn bus *-*

Let's hope not.

Let's hope not.

Hey man- yep, both confirmed- and ill be seeing Kreator and Celtic Frost in March (again ) so ill finally get to see the Holy Trinity of German thrash in one year

Which show are you going to? The London one or the Cardiff one? Legion of the Damned and Watain are supporting! I'm definitely going to one of these gigs as Kreator really do pull off some of the best shows.

 

[Atomik Destruktor]

Is the greater commerciallisation of the festival neccesarily a bad thing? Say the name Wacken to most people and they stare at you blankly so wouldn't more people be a bonus to get clued into harder metal?

It doesn't need to be more commercialised, though. It sold out last year, as I'm sure it has done in previous years.

The more 'commercialised' it becomes, the more crap bands such as Bullet will be confirmed. Good thing? Fuck no.

No offence, mate, but you're hardly one to talk about this... And here's why:

I found your MySpace profile through Google and your list of favourite bands, albeit one or two of them, are hardly Wacken-friendly:

"acdc, bowling for soup, afi, papa roach, american hifi, army of freshman, dashboard confessionals, tenacious d, mc lars, foo fighters, slipknot, bloodhound gang, guns 'n' roses, trivium, inme, fall out boy, bullet for my valentine, jack johnson, unwritten law, killswitch engage, less than jake, metallica, judas priest, blink 182, nirvana, linkin park, my chemical romance, nightwish, senses fail, jimmy eat world, anti-flag, sum 41, panic at the disco, funeral for a friend, feeder, muse, puddle of mud, system of a down, coheed and cambria, all american rejects, skindred"

This is going to sound very twattish of me, but it's the inclusion of "your type" that is ruining the Wacken atmosphere; people who barely know anything about metal paying all of that money to go to one of the best metal festivals in the world. It doesn't really make much sense to me. I'm not badmouthing you personally as I'm sure you're a nice person; I just don't see the point in you going to Wacken when you can go to Download or Reading/Leeds and see more bands you are into without the fuss of travelling all the way to Germany to see bands who play a style you aren't into.

 

[Spindelta]

what do u mean? u dont want to see them at wacken?

No! As I said before, I think that Machine Head are barely suitable for Wacken. Robb Flynn gets away with it on the strength of his history with Vio-lence, and perhaps the first MH album. I don't hate the band, I just think that they're a great example of bands that should stick to playing Ozzfest and Download instead.

 

[Atomik Destruktor]

I agree...

stalker?

Atomik Destruktor u sound like abit of a stalker to me typing peoples names into google hes ure next murder target yeah? google them, find where they live and then murder them! as for kreator and celtic frost they didnt come close enough to where i live for me to see em unfortunately i would like to see kreator on the bill possibly to finish off the Teutonic thrash thing going on. as for ganey he made a valid point i havent updated my myspace in ALONNGGG TIME! i like BFMVs courage for playing at wacken i hope they dont get bottled but i hope they get lots of abusive words thrown at them lol like machine head and fear factory have been the "guilty pleasure" band for some people in previous years i dont think BFMV will be this years though . and finally metal camp looks absolutely awesome but its along time to get off work/college/school whatever as it goes on for something like 6 or 7 days and this year is its first 'big year' which is why i hope they do coach journeys or bus journeys from airport or what ever next year so travel is easier
