2013 Lineup

[gazza_20]

bullet will reach it, whether it be next year or 2014 for download. depends on their new album as well... but the thing is when AC got asked about whether they would headline if they had another successful album and he said yes. to be honest i think download are pushing them up just because they are the biggest british metal band around at the moment..

Slipknot went through a very noticeable change between their debut album and Vol 3. They've never quite managed to shake off the image that the first two albums created for them though. I've had so many friends who outright refused to take Slipknot seriously but who changed their tune drastically when they listened to songs like Vermillion and Duality.

Aren't A7X pretty hated within the metal community?

[Vieuphoria]

They should be. Boyband-metal.

Yea, I think they are okay but nothing more. Aren't escape the fate known a bit as the smaller version pretty much?

Not really I would bundle them in with Bring Me The Horizion etc naff scremo music that is rarely enjoyed by anyone over the age of 18 but they aren't really like AX7 who themselves are in fact (as previously mentioned) boyband metal.

And on Bullet I think Fever is their weakest album to date. Bit cheesy.

[Andre91]

Why do people think that A7X are boyband metal? I think they're awesome, and M.Shadows is a phenominal singer. Syn Gates is a brilliant guitarist too.

Re- Debut albums

Libertines- Up The Bracket

Whoever claimed Arctic Monkeys had the best debut ever, I implore you to listen to the following;

The Smiths - The Smiths

The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses

Oasis - Definitely Maybe

Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Ramones - Ramones

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin

Kanye West - The College Dropout

Pavement - Slanted And Enchanted

LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem

Modest Mouse - This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About

I just came up with those off the top of my head, there's many many better.

[LEMON_WOLF]

Bad Brains - Bad Brains

Just to be a bit different lol

[Andre91]

I said Arctic's was the best debut by a British band. I stand by that. Definitely Maybe and The Stone Roses are bloody amazing though.
