yeah well they have pulled out like the last 3 years running or something i seen them 3 times, and they sucked everytime, was just a laugh cos they played nearby, I reackon an awesome headliner line-up would be AC/DC, Metallica, maybe Immortal, although Obituary are coming back supposedly so I wouldn't be surprised if they showed up. But Devildriver better fucking play!!!
Marilyn Manson? no thanks.. i prefer Manowar.. or something like that... Also i would like some old school bands like Venom, Tankard, Voivod, Pestilence (reunion) ANs some Pagan/Vikin like Thyrfing, Arkona, Manegarm, Equilibrium.. About Bullet for my Valentine.. i dont like it.. but its curious, the will be touring in USA in Wacken dates This is from BFMV website: 29/07/2009 Scranton, PA, USATOYOTA PAVILION 31/07/2009 Wacken, GermanyFESTIVAL 01/08/2009 Pittsburgh, PA, USAPOST GAZETTE PAVILION They will play july 31th in Wacken and next day in Pittsburgh? They are strong rumors about Sarcofago Reunion http://www.metalstorm.ee/events/news_comments.php?news_id=8310
Does anyone have a list complied of the "Self Confirmed/Strong Rumored" bands? Here's some that I've heard (anyone else heard these?): Devildriver Doro Lamb of God Gamma Ray Iced Earth Immortal Morbid Angel Obituary Pain Rammstein Saxon Sarcofargo Satyricon Schandmaul Subway To Sally UDO Here are some others (but I'm highly skeptical) AC/DC Armored Saint Down Eluveitie Katatonia Marilyn Manson Metallica Slayer System of a Down
Sarcofargo -> is fake for sure. Satyricon -> very unlikely since the WOA organisers have a argument with them since last time.
Pray that BFMV's plane is delayed by 10-12hours and they can't make it from USA and back! Also looking at that list: Devildriver - not very good live in my experience Doro - hope so Lamb of God - dont like them Gamma Ray - ??? only know 2-3songs by them Iced Earth - where bad at wacken in 07 Immortal - my fav band so i hope so Morbid Angel - would be good Obituary - would be good Pain- ??? Rammstein - really..... hope not! Saxon - they have to its the rules that they play every otehr year at wacken!!! Sarcofargo - who? Satyricon - hope so but sounds unlikely Schandmaul - hope so Subway To Sally- dont care UDO - dont care If too many NWOAM bands get added to the bill I may as well stay in UK for festivals! If I wanted USA new metal. I go to Wacken to get european/scandinavian metal.....maybe metal camp is worth looking at for next year. They got Blind Guardian this year, wacken should get them back! in 2007 they stole the show!
Airbourne had the same schedule and made it to Wacken last year so unfortunately I'd say BFMV can do the same. I'd hope Slayer and Cannibal Corpse do as well if that's the case.
Gamma ray is listed by a dutch site called festivalinfo.nl Their official site has only 2 tour dates so far, but it's possible. Lamb of God could be they play at Graspop. Morbid Angel would be cool. Not so sure about Rammstein, I hear they do have fun shows to watch.
