Rage Factor

[Tom]

Anyone else have a funny feeling that this vote won't have made any difference to the supports?

I reckon Muse would be high up there in the votes, would be sweet if they supported! Not gonna happen though realistically..

I hear that, I would of thought they would of drag it to 2 announcements. 1 for the vote winner and the other for the rest of the bill.

I may be wrong, but I have a feeling that the vote may just have been a way for the organisers to find out what type of bands people would like to support and, again I might be wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if the 'winners' turned out to be someone like Gallows (in other words, someone they already have booked to support but that some people have also voted for)

I think they haven't announced yet because they havent got everything set in stone.

Wethere or not the vote was a sham they will have to wait until all bands are confirmed before placing them into order of appearance.

I'm hoping that there will be a few collabarations throughout the day.

IF the vote was real they may still be working down the list to get bands to appear if possible.

There won't be much gain for bands out of this, in monetary value. There will be a bit of publicity for them though.

For bigger bands to play it will depend on if they like RATM, or bought into the idea of the rage factor. I personally cant see any big bands playing.

Although there are a few medium size bands who have said that they would like to appear on the bill. I'm sure this will be out of being fans of RATM.

Still this very soon announcment is turning into a not so soon announcement........

[lharris92]

my last guess is next monday... if not i give up

& i think they will take the fan vote into consideration because we the people will be watching it so yeah

[PastCaring]

I'm going for sometime after the middle of next week - especially if the line up is similar to the one suggested in this forum last week - announcing a upcoming free gig is maybe not the best business move for a band currently touring the UK!

BBC 6 Music said that Gogo Bordello were supporting this morning

[tohellweride]

The 'vote' will probably be a complete sham, they usually always are in the music industry. The vote said 'if they are available to play', which means 'we will pick who we like'.

Take the Kerrang awards for example, a lot of the 'winners' fly over from the states for the event in London, booking plane tickets and hotels in advance. They wouldn't do that unless there was some incentive of media exposure, i.e. a an award.

[Dreadlockswampy]

they were awsome....not their fault the crowd was full of 'uneducated NIN "we love u trent" fat goth numptys'. JA wud be an amazing addition, much better band than rage. they are also supporting rage on their spanish date aswel, looks a shoe-in now!

[ap3311]

The fan vote will be interesting indeed. I tried to be fairly realistic in voting for bands who I thought would be likely to play if asked and who would be around the UK/Europe at the time. But I reckon most people probably voted for their 3 favourite bands etc...

Really hoping Jane's get confirmed, when there was that announcement a few weeks back I got really excited and now Gallows and Gogol are confirmed I'm even more hopeful!
