Download 2014

[scrubbertheman]

Motley? could headline Friday or Sunday maybe

GnR would put up with another piss shower for the right money

Whitesnake always good mid-line up fodder

Big contemporary bands is the hard bit though, if they want to put the ticket proce up again for 2014, then they need to get a band of Foo's popularity on board

RIP Jeff Hanneman

[Lambo_KoRn]

a lot of NIN fanboyism goin on in here, they could only headline a festival like download on the back of a their reunion, but by next year the novelty would have worn off, they're subbin R+L, and have done a couple of times, they subbed at sonisphere and they headlined 2nd stage at T in the Park, if they ever headlined download they wouldn't be a strong headliner, they would be a strong sub though

[Lithium05]

Tool/NIN co-headline slot anyone?

Edit: they should just let me book Download, that would be for the best.

I reckon NIN will sub Tool. Purely because that'd be the best top two ever, anywhere.

[dentalplan]

I'm thinking Guns n' Roses next year too, not sure why them, just tend to have a legendary metal act that some of these predictions are lacking.

[Lambo_KoRn]

NIN

Deftones

[Gucci Piggy]

Surely NIN are bigger then tool?!

[Asdaprice]

I think Tool would headline out of the two. If only because of the fact I can't see Tool accepting a non-headline slot, whereas NIN obviously are accepting those slots.

Allegedly releasing an album next year, but would anyone book them with their dire reputation for being late and shocking live?

Does Download have any restrictions on when the music has to stop?

[devilman]

Thin Lizzy aren't doing it since Brian Downey decided not to tour any more. What's left of them is called the Black Star Riders and they have their own stuff. I presume they do the thin Lizzy stuff too.

Guns and Roses were excellent last year in Glasgow. Ok so they were late on but that just meant I had more beer before hand. Dunno if any UK festival would risk them nowadays as they all seem to have curfews that don't cater for diva hissy fits back stage.

Does Download have any restrictions on when the music has to stop?

[dentalplan]

Yes there is a defniate curfew, not 100% certain of the time but I think its around 11.00pm. Bizarre with the Airport being just next door!!

[Tobieski]

The late bit I get, the shocking live bit I do not. Axl Rose has been on FINE form these past couple of years. His voice is sounding brilliant, he has off days, but so does every singer. People expecting a 51 year old to sound the same as he did in his early 20's are idiots. Plus the band are much tighter than the "classic" line up ever sounded.

This wasn't a rant at you by the way, just at the general opinion people seem to have without much to back it up.

[W!NNER]

He had some bloke kicked out of a GnR gig because he was wearing a Slash tshirt yeah

[Andre91]

Yeah, Axl Rose is definitely good competition for Bono for biggest c**t in the music business.
