Well I dont think anyone can complain its that bad so far, come on....
Hammer Fall
Epica
Amon Amarth
Lacuna Coil
Heaven & Hell
GWAR!!!
Napalm Death
Machine Head
Turisas
Dragonforce
To name a few of the really great bands playing so far!
Ok I admit having fucking Bullet for my Valentine added to the bill is a really bad idea, its an awful band but here's the simple answer.... DONT WATCH THEM!!! Go to the beer garden or a different stage or to your tent and have a drink thats what i'l be doing!
Wacken's atsmosphere makes all the bands better than they usually are anyway!
But still I also agree we're waiting for some killer announcements! I mean there's the almost "mandatory" norwegian black metal slot to be filled, and Satyricon recently released a new album and Immortal are recording this year, with any luck we'l get one of or both of them! If you look in the "band requests" section of the forum Immortal have by far the most hits / replies. Also I understand Blind Guardian and Warlock with Doro are touring this summer? Could be possible to get those?
Maybe Stratovarios too?
Who knows, I have faith that the W:O:A team will continue to put on a good show. To be fair now they've got a sold out line up so early it gives them more time to spend the money better they can pick and choose which bands they want and wait for them to get back to them, maybe they're just biding their time to get the bands they want at the show?!
A word to the team though! You could improve the line up and stop complaints by about 50% by cancelling Bullet for my Valentine from the bill!!!
