KingOfMetal Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 one crap (The Crusade), and some mediocre records. They're still worth watching over the tiresome joke that is Steel Panther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Dent Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I saw them in 05. I seem to remember they were on early, were pretty good and played Rain, which is like the only tune of theirs I like. I don't really see the point of it either but I guess it's cool for their fans if they get there in good time. I guess with pretty much the same rotation of bands being booked they're trying to throw in this kind of gimmick and bands playing full albums.

Paid Members Dead Mike Posted November 26, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think Trivium playing the Red Bull tent is pretty cool tbh. They played mainstage in 2012 so for a recent repeat booking having them do this gimmick freshens it up a bit for the regular attendees. Not sure if I'll be there or not next year but having The Offspring as an alternative to Avenged Sevenfold has definitely piqued my interest. Rumours that they'll play 'Smash' all the way through as part of it's 20th anniversary (man that makes me feel old). Â I've got it on good authority that Soni have got Metallica & Maiden. Not sure on the 3rd headliner yet though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted November 26, 2013 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2013 Offspring performing Smash would be very cool, that album changed my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offspring doing Smash I'd definitely like to see, I'd definitely watch them if I was there. Still only planning on a Sunday ticket so far.

Paid Members martyngnr Posted November 26, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 26, 2013 Metallica and Iron Maiden are headlining Rock Am Ring 2014 so Sonisphere would seem like an obvious call for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfMetal Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Primordial, Lacuna Coil and Carcass added to Bloodstock 2014. Â That's really shaping up to be a great weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Â Avenged Sevenfold's new stage setup looks pretty badass if I'm honest, shame about the tunes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 So this new Sepultura Album, The Mediator Between The Head and The Hands Must be The Heart, is pretty fantastic! It's good mix of old pre Chaos A D riffs, Roorback style heaviness and some cracking guitar work. 'Tsunami', Bliss of The Ignorants' and 'Grief' are a stand out middle section, with 'Bliss of the Ignorants' probably being best track on the album, starting with 'Rahamatta' vibes and then going over the whole gamut of Sepultura. Â If I had a complaint it would be the new drummer, who's clearly learning his trade as some of the symbol choices sound out of kilter and horribly tinny on some tracks. Aside from that. Fabtastic stuff, even a clearly indie riff in the Chico Science cover,' Da Lama Au Caos', sounds like Wonder Stuff Dizzy to start with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Metallica have announced two more European festival dates in June. Their dates are now as follows:  June 4th - Sonisphere (Hamburg) June 6th - Rock Im Ring June 8th - Rock Am Ring June 9th - Pinkpop July 3rd - Rock Werchter  With todays Sonisphere UK announced coming at 5:30, I would fully expect them to be confirmed for that too as a few of us suggested last week Edited December 2, 2013 by KingOfMetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well Sonisphere have announced the date of July 3rd, which is a Thursday so that's obviously the opening day before the proper Friday kick off. So Metallica headlining the Saturday seems more than plausbible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d-d-d-dAz Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'd love to see Metallica again, but the 'fans choose' shit wouldn't be fun for me I don't think. I'm not really a big fan of thrash Metallica, and like the stuff from The Black Album onwards mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
