how about this one??

HALF MAN HALF BISCUIT!!!!

imagine them in the NME or FR Tent!!

"I HATE NERYS HUUUUUUGHES"... hahahahahaha

[Lithium05]

I'd always think Alter Birdge would play Reading at some point, and Trivium.

[joe_strummer]

If we're going for newer bands I was expecting Black Stone Cherry and Airbourne to make their R/L debuts this year, kind of gutted that they're not as they're styles would give a decent ammound of depth to the line-up if used in a low mainstage Sat/sun position (Reading)

Have Nickelback played? It seems like they never do festivals, which is weird for a band their size...

[VCK]

how the f**k did hard-fi get into that list you just produced

[thejimbola]

If you mean Airborne Toxic Event, they are playing this year on the Friday, NME stage.

[thegremlin_1999]

have glassJaw done it?

they'd have been great in the lock up

also 30 seconds to mars

good shouts on koRn, black stone cherry and airbourne too.

sepultura?

machine head?

chemical brothers?

skindred?

also tool would be great 2nd down under a heavier headliner or topping the NME tent.

Dream Theater on that day too please

Are you taking the piss? Or have you genuinely not read the other thread. If not I'll recap;

Airbourne - Drunken Aussie AC/DC soundalike mentalists

Airborne Toxic Event - Landfill probably not "indie" because apparently that word is about as offensive as wandering into a prodomomenantly black pub in a clan hood and proclaiming "which n****r do I have to whip to get a drink around here"

[thegremlin_1999]

Airbourne are a terible ac/dc rip off. Probably quite good live, but they are still rubbosh, artless junk.

Airbourne Toxic event are genuinly talented.

i love this forum... why do people think their opinions are "fact"?

They are the same people that think that their opinions gives them immunity to being told they are wrong? :-P

[thomasowen]

Wow, you could not be more wrong! Airbourne might be an AC/DC rip off, but they are awesome at it!

This other lot could not sound more generic if they tried. Isn't it The Bravery in disguise? It's not BAD music, it's just not got anything that makes it good!
