Here It Is! 14 New bands

[luckysalt]

Having BLS there surely means if Tony Iommi can't make it due to his illness then Zakk steps upto the plate

[rivalschools.price]

Sunday main stage is awesome. Jeez!!!, Sabbath,soundgarden,black label society and Kyuss.

rise against/sabbath clash is a nightmare tho.

[neilloggie]

Gutted that Slash is clashing with The Prodigy. I have missed Prodigy twice at festivals because of clashes. Looks like I'm going to have to do half and half this year. Both are too good to miss.

[neilloggie]

AIC, even without layne, are surely bigger than solo Slash?

Surely?

[kaosmark2]

Close one, but i think Slash edges it with his cult status and legendary GNR's tunes and with Miles they make a great team, i would much rather listen to Slash/Miles for 2 hours than Axl and friends any day.

[Lithium05]

Does he have rights to GnR songs?

[luckysalt]

Yeah Slash plays GNR songs

and @Neil above 2009 was a bad year to see Prodigy 6 times, they didn't change their setlist hardly whatsoever, got boring.

Andy has cleared up whats left on main

1 act for Sunday = 9 acts

2 acts for Saturday = 8 acts

and I pressume we'll be getting the standard 8 on Friday too, its opening at 1pm as usual

[neilloggie]

Do you need permission to sing songs live? or is it only if you want to record them?

As for the Prodigy 6 times in a year just counted it was actually 5, Didn't remember too much about Download for some strange reason i always seem to be drunkest Friday night

[kaosmark2]

The setlist when he played in 2010 was:

Ghost

Back From Cali

Nightrain

Rocket Queen

Starlight

By The Sword

Sweet Child O' Mine

Doctor Alibi

Slither

Paradise City

So yes, he does and they're performed waaay better than Axl is capable of these days... and also Velvet Revolver song(s).

[mrtourette]

Yep. There are a number of splits where part of the issue is that only one member maintains the rights to perform a band's songs. Don't know how it works.

[kaosmark2]

Really? How does it affect bands that want to cover other bands live, do they need permission? Seems like it would be impossible to monitor.

[luckysalt]

Not sure where to put this, but Refused have been announced for Nova Rock, same weekend as DL

They also have Within Temptation and Nightwish, I know people wanted these

Can't really see where they'd play, surely would be top 3 on main or 2nd headliner. Can't think where they'd play unless they accepted subbing 2nd. Would make me sad that they'd get given a lower slot than YM@6 if that happened.

[Gingo]

Yep, definitely true.

No idea how it works with covers, I think they have to pay royalties to the owners of the songs (ie. record companies). But it's definitely the case that when a band splits sometimes only some members have the right to perform the songs.

[kaosmark2]

A band/artist can perform covers of songs at a gig or venue as the place where they are playing pays a licensing fee so they can play whatever songs they like

The only time this becomes an issue is when cover songs are put on albums or when the band covering is making money directly from the song

[AcademicPistol]

I am appeased with the line up :-) just noticed they are a Slayer away from having the big snore (excluding Metalica in the snore bit) they might as well take the ultimate dump on Sonis last years line up by booking Slipknot for 3 stage headliners haha.

[thegremlin_1999]

I like what I see so far. Sure there's some I don't care for (Megadeth, 5FDP, steel panther) but there's some belters too (billy talent, ginger, TERRORVISION!)

Happy boy.

Except the slash/prodigy clash. That's a fucking bitch.

[Furious-Red]

Also As I Lay Dying have apparently cancelled their european tour

Graspop Metal Meeting

Before announcing the headliner for Sunday 24 June, first some sad news. AS I LAY DYING won't be coming to Graspop Metal Meeting since they have cancelled their European tour.

[luckysalt]

They were opening Main Stage Saturday at DL, I wouldn't have seen them anyway
