I would fucking love to see Diamond Head
I am envious of that

Saw Limp Bizkit the year before last. I liked them a lot in my youth, and yet found them to be fucking terrible. Really fucking terrible.

Airbourne are thoroughly entertaining, as are Hayseed Dixie. Metallica and Slayer will be ace too.

LB are excruciatingly bad.

they were even worse than I expected live

Was there a giant lavatory involved?
I thought Cypress Hill's 'giant bongs' were bad...

Limp Bizkit are on there simply because I've never seen them live, caught them at Download (on the live stream), and was very impressed.
I'm hoping to hear The Big 4 plus Diamond Head perform 'Am I Evil?' too, that'd be huge.

Diamond Head have got a bunch of great songs
seriously though, Limp Bizkit were fucking dreadful live when I saw them. Might just have been his voice I guess.

I can take or leave Anthrax, but the other 3 are going to be marvellous.

I'm not a big Slayer fan tbh, but the thought of those 5 bands one after another is simply magnificent.

I wasn't a big Slayer fan
but they totally rocked.

My brother has an excellent DVD of theirs.
Most impressive.

I can't deny the fact that their music is anything but fantastic
But the lack of crowd interaction is something I'm never happy with

You'll piss yourself at the Sisters of Mercy - Andrew Eldritch looks like Gary Glitter these days.
I've ruined them for you now. Ha ha.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:16, Reply)

The alternatives are Biffy Clyro, The Mars Volta, Watain and Black Spiders
No thanks, no thanks, fuck off, and no thanks.

Sisters of Mercy it is.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:19, Reply)

I'd go see one of the first two

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:20, Reply)

Biffy are very plain nowadays, I find.
And I've never been a fan of Mars Volta.

fair enough

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:25, Reply)

Have you seen Motorhead before?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:17, Reply)

Sadly not, am looking forward to them greatly.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:18, Reply)

They are simply superb. Miss them at your peril.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:19, Reply)

Irritatingly, they look like they might be colliding with Airbourne
It's a no-brainer there, I'll be at Motorhead. But I'll be disappointed to miss Airbourne, have you ever heard any of their stuff?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:21, Reply)

if I remember correctly
because the two big stages are near each other they don't have bands on at the same time. It's only stuff on the smaller stages that might clash

I really hope so
As that means I might also get to see Hayseed Dixie...
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:27, Reply)

Seen them at the Astoria - they do a great live show.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 29 Jun 2011, 13:27, Reply)

when I saw them the singer climbed one of the outlying speaker stands, in the pissing rain
with a guitar strapped to his back.
