2014 1st headliner

[foolee]

On the FOB discussion me and my girlfriend were quite looking forward to them at Reading this year, didn't know the new stuff bar the singles which are okay but we are much more fans of the pre hiatus. We thought they were completely shocking at reading, a big disappointment because we were both looking forward to them too! I didn't think they were great live and the new stuff was dire. Be better in a tent but they're too big for that

Just on the Fall Out Boy at R&L discussion, I think they were hugely disappointing. The crowd was pretty crap as it was mostly young girls around us who knew barely any songs and just spoke between themselves. The sound was awful terrible when I was standing, bass drum was waaaaaaay too loud, guitar and vocals too quiet, but the actual energy from them was lacking.

I was disappointed that their new songs were probably the best of a poor lot and their older ones sounded crap.

[cornucopia]

Set up? They'll have someone to do that for them!

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't get this argument, fob have been huge for the better part of 10 years, those kids that loved them in school have know grown up and have the money to spend on festivals! I think they're great, but will go down like a lead balloon at download

heard mixed reviews about their R&L performance but I'm kind of glad now that I decided to turn down a ticket for the fest as except for Biffy, FOB only due to liking them back in the 07-09 period were one of the only other bands for me that day but it's kind of opened up for me to see them at Download now. I'll be happy enough when they play Sugar and Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy - actually still love that song a lot haha.

Going to give their new album a proper listen. I didn't actually mind Infinity On A High

[Red Day]

Can't say I'm overly impressed with announcements so far. Seem to be missing the heavyweights of the last few years like Maiden, Sabbath, Metallica, AC/DC etc but it's a weekend away and the first time at Donington since Metallica in 96. Change form TITP as well.

[Red Day]

Was quite impressed with Andy Copping taking the time to reply to tweets for ages this week. Pity Geoff Ellis at TITP wouldn't do that instead of the usual generic pish he comes out with.

[Com Truise]

Yeah but they've most likely also grown out of liking Fall Out Boy.

[justanothername]

you think you've grown out of fall out boy

then they come off hiatus

Is there a google translate facility for Gazza to English available

[mrtourette]

Those were easy ones.

He likes Biffy Clyro and he's like Fall Out Boy's old stuff so he wants to see Fall Out Boy at Download.

Yet the actual poster doesn't mention Sonisphere or even refer to the planned fest as a Soni.

[jump]

Yet it's been announced on Sonisphere's twitter, the splash page is Sonisphere.co.uk, it clearly says Sonisphere 2014 at the bottom of the page and they are currently designing the Sonisphere 2014 logo.

[metalicbear]

Jump, check this twitter page out - https://twitter.com/doktored

It is Sonisphere.

[Red Day]

Here's my try...

He heard some people liked Fall Out Boy at Reading & Leeds and others didn't so he is happy he didn't go.

He likes Biffy Clyro and he's like Fall Out Boy's old stuff so he wants to see Fall Out Boy at Download.

He likes two of their songs.

He's going to listen to the new album and he doesn't mind one of the other albums.

Soundgarden are in Germany in June. Would love to see them play again, they were one of the highlights of 2012 for me. I could see them headlining the second stage
