Whiskey_Jim Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Megadeth final headliner announced for Bloodstock next year. I'm not the biggest Megadeth fan but they're a solid choice for this gig I guess, people were saying it could be trivium which was a horrible thought.  So it's Down, Emperor and Megadeth which seems nice and varied For a festival of Bloodstocks size I think that's an incredibly strong set of headliners. Its almost enough to tempt me along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 22, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2013 Given the reports from Megadeth's last car crash of a tour I'll bet on their performance being either terrible or fucking terrible. what happened?

Whiskey_Jim Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 yeh get down there Jim, its a quality weekend. The problem I have with Bloodstock is the fans, believe it or not. I find the modern metal fan either incredibly stupid or up their own arses and in both cases completely unwilling to acknowledge the quality of any other music form.

I find the modern metal fan either incredibly stupid or up their own arses and in both cases completely unwilling to acknowledge the quality of any other music form. Â I've said before that its the fans that have put me off going back to Bloodstock. I'm sure it isn't everyone that goes, but you do get 'the elitists' who only listen to "true" metal and want to shit on what might be deemed popular in metal circles just to go against the grain. Â But you get it at all festivals. At Download this year, I had someone come up to me and tell me I'm "not a real fan" because I have a short haircut and had a pair of shorts on. I've been a metal fan since I was 12 years old, just because I don't look or smell like a tramp doesn't make me any less of a fan. Its not so much the 'Us vs. Them' tribal mentality of years gone by, its narrow-mindedness and thinking that people are against them in some way. Case and point was this year with Randy Blythe's court case. A fan died from injuries he sustained at a Lamb Of God show and their was a possibility it happened from actions that Blythe had carried out. He had a case to answer. But the FANZ~! took to social media and whatever else claiming it was a conspiracy that he was being held in a Croatian jail rather than the US Goverment getting involved to bring him home (You even had a member of GWAR make himself look a right tit by claiming that US would do anything to bring Justin Bieber home, despite the fact that he is Canadian).

Â Â I find at Download it tends to be more the Rocktards going, I can abide and ignore them even if they do still pump 'Freak On A Leash' out of their battery powered stereo's the whole weekend.

Whiskey_Jim Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 A Day To Remember have announced Every Time I Die as main support for their early '14 UK tour. This is a massive bitch for me as they are in Cardiff the same night as Limp Bizkit, who I already have tickets for. May be making my way up to Birmingham the following Friday for the show there.

Keith Houchen Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Fow what it's worth, kids, the us v them mentality has always existed in Metal. In my day, it was thrash v glam and all that bollocks. The shit I used to get in metal pubs for liking dance and REM was loads. But then I'd shag all the women because I looked like Nuno. Â Ah, happy times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted October 24, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 24, 2013 I'll touch on the 'us vs. them' again because id planned to anyway...or something similar. Â But as for Bloodstock, this was my 5th year and the festival is uber friendly, ive never had one bad experience there and whilst i dare say there are many elitist metal fans there, none of them go out of their way to make it unpleasant for the rest of the crowd or the actual bands (except the infamous flying gobstopper incident). Â Theres plenty of very weird people wandering around at Bloodstock but the vibe around around the place is very positive, its my favorite festival.
