The Metal/Punk/Rock Thread

McFly will be fine going by how popular Busted were at this year's Download

[LCJ]

Not that interested in that overall Download lineup. Definitely won’t be going. If Metallica play at Coop Live next year then I’d rather spend my money on that (although I’d expect extortionate ticket pricing).

That line up looks decent. Nice to see a Download line up that doesn’t include one of the Metallica/Iron Maiden/Slipknot rotating headliners that they seem to always have. 
 

McFly will do great just like Busted did at this years. It’ll be full of people in their mid-30s who will watch them for nostalgias sake due to being their gateway into guitar-based music back in the day.

Literally just book Scooter because the dude says "skibadee", the kids will go wild.

Rumours I've heard for Download are Korn, Green Day & Sleep Token.

My mate comes good again

Put me down for also being a metalhead that loves Scooter. How much is the fish?

Interesting to see if CKY do play after the cancelled/got kicked off the Alien Ant Farm tour in Europe when Chad Ginsburg punched AAFs front man. The rest of the group have already distanced themselves from him. 

have they? I saw Ginsburg's little statement, but nothing from the rest of the band. I wouldn't be surprised though (if Ginsburg is at fault).

Yeah it's the Scooter booking. 

I don't know I'm calling it that as Download have never booked Scooter. 

But they fucking should. 

could call it the Die Antwood booking? they got booked for Download and pulled one of the bigger crowds of the weekend from what I remember.

Jess and Elvis have unfollowed him on Instagram (I know that doesn’t really mean nothing in the grand scheme of things). And Deron has been saying on Facebook that he should be the singer again with the other two.

I wouldn't mind seeing that

I'm not doing it this year, always have a great time but can't justify the price for the acts I'm interested in on the usual "I'll find something new" approach.

I might change my mind when pished though. If not I'll probably go for a day ticket.

Apparently I bought tickets ?

Life of Agony front-person Mina Caputo has posted a lengthy video on their Instagram announcing that they have been “cured” of their gender dysphoria and will be detransitioning from female to male in the new year and will be re-taking the name Keith.

Whatever their decision, I just hope that they’re happy within themselves

This is some proper meat headed beatdown laced death metal but they always somehow mix it up perfectly, manages to sound gross as hell and not overly clean like many doing this. Just real solid new DM in a year when there's been lots of good.
