Origin of symmetry wouldn't really work in the lock up... There's nothing punk about anything that Muse do. They should just force them to only play songs from Origin and Showbiz anyway, or whatever as long as there was nothing from Resistance, particularly any of the exogenesis symphony blah blah blah. Here's a drunk Matt Bellamy for your enjoyment.

MCR remind me of the annoying guy at school who was always so popular for some crazy reason, when you always considered him to be a bit of a prick. Then you see him again a few years later then you realise he is an alright kinda guy. Thats how I see MCR.

1. Have played third here before and headlined another festival, so have experience.

2. Natural progression of bands up the bill to headline status is good for the festival and industry in general.

3. Will attract younger/next generation of fans to the festival thus securing it's future.

4. Have received heavy praise from NME and Kerrang and get a lot of airplay and Radio 1 and music television channels so appeal to a broad range of music fans.

That's about all I can think of. Whether they outweigh the negative points is another matter.

The "the line-up isn't good because I don't like the bands" point is a perfectly good reason not to like the line-up but should be reserved for internet forums and down the pub. Whether the bands are good or not should really come into a serious article as it's entirely subjective.

IMO :)

Ha...I don't agree with JJ who wrote the article but it's his piece.

He's a typical ranter type.

We all have different personalities and writing backgrounds, try the other two, they are wildly different in approach and style, more analytical.

We do have the by fans for fans tag, so while I can edit people's pieces, I can't turn everyone into fair unbiased journalists.

Well they played Lollapalooza in 2010. Granted we're not saying they could have got them, but if they were talking to Download, they could have thrown money at them or talked to them, especially as Reading is the end of August. I wouldn't say the option was 100% off the table because Download couldn't get them.

Ha as for Kanye...most headliners are. Have you heard Win Butler talk music =P

I'm not saying he didn't either. I'm just don't think it's fair to say, based on the Download experience they were completely off the table. Plus, I thought Melvin was shooting down booking Soundgarden at the BBQ last year? Or was that Pearl Jam. I'll ask Cameron.

Huh?

I didn't go to the BBQ, how could I have said anything of the sort?

Unless Melvin had a telepathic link to my Birthday party.

All I remember posting on this forum is that he categorically ruled out Tool.

Ah indeed on the Isle Of Wight Forum.

I thought you were implying I was reporting it here.

No fair play, on the IOW forum I would write something like that, as saying, someone I know on the Reading forum said that the reading organiser said, is kind of redundant when 99% of the users don't care about the Reading.

But I wouldn't write that here or on a Reading site.
