system of a down

[SOAD]

Not so sure... there seems to be a bit of conflict over it where as it seems they are quite happy to just play shows now and again for now... similar situation to Faith No More.

Is there anything to support the rumour that SOAD will play? or is it just wishful thinking/lack of credible alternatives?

[Amy Lawn]

My favourite SOAD song has always been Toxicity. What a banger! "Eating seeds is a pass time activity".

If System are indeed going to headline with Deftones 3rd/4th on the main, who are we thinking will slot in between?

Looks pretty good. I'd argue the Prodigy are bigger than SOAD, but they don't strike me as the sort of band to give a shit about that sort of thing.

Just looked at the setlists they played in 2012, why oh why did they drop IEAIAIO? Such a fucking tune.

Why do you think not?

[kev1664]

Why? Because of the terrible of it they had last time around?

[kev1664]

It took them 8 years to book them again, and they're hardly a 'festival band', they make rare appearances in this country. Part of what made 2010 so great, was the likeliness that they may not be back for a while.

It may have been sarcastic if the sentence had made sense.

How do you know they hadn't tried to book them before that? In fact I think I can remember people on here talking about the BBQ that they do/used to do where the question was regularly asked.

If they are offering Weezer a big slot like a sub, I can't see them not taking it. Plus they are the perfect festival band as shown by the reception try got the last time.

They are currently doing shows in Australia and are going over to Japan in march so they clearly are willing to travel this year.

[Amy Lawn]

This one!

[kev1664]

Would they offer them a sub though? Maybe 'festival band' was the wrong term, I meant they're more of a rare occurence on the market, so I would say they're more unlikely to play given the recently played, but are regularly included in people's line ups. Would have thought Download would be the keenest to get them if they're over here.

[kev1664]

Makes perfect sense, and technically that's two sentences, one is a minor sentence but it's all rather trivial to this exchange. I could rephrase it as "why do you think Weezer won't return? Perhaps you presume this because their previous experience of the festival was a bad one?" if that's less upsetting to you. But the jokes now passed and we should all probably move on with our lives.
