french_disko Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Alice Cooper?? Deep Purple???? Holy shit, what year is this?

Are they resurrecting the festival purely on nostalgia for the past festivals? And how much of a bill is there going to be? One stage? Two stage? And what the fuck is the Mosters of Rock doing in Milton Keynes and not Donington????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Download probably have a clause saying no other festivals at Donnington this year, saying that Download is the week after so a festival a week before would destroy the grass surely.I would imagine it'll be one stage and as for Deep Purple headlineing you'll be suprised how little big Metal bands there are that could Headline a major festival.Download haven't announced who's headlineing this year and that could be Iron Maiden or ACDC and Reading/Leeds usually have a big Metal band headline too so its gonna be really intresting to see how this pans out.

Paulscoconutass Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 What's the point in this argument? If you think that Alice Cooper and Deep Purple shouldn't be headlining a festival who would you put above them? I don't see any bigger bands kicking about the UK at the moment. Metallica and Iron Maiden headlined the last few Leeds/Reading ones and no one really complained about that, in fact, they put on some of the best shows of the weekend (and I don't particularly like 'em).

Just like most other genres nostalgia seems to be the order of the day due to the lack of replacement for the older acts. All you see now is rock kids going around with AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Ozzy and Kiss tshirts. Even Metallica, Slayer, Chilli's etc are 20 years old. Sad but true...but not as sad as The Daftness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 I don't understand the problem here, were you planning on going to this festival anyway?!I doubt being relevant comes into the equation, it appears to be a festival of old rock bands playing. A lot of people like those bands, and will probably have fun. FUN. FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF Scott Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Are you going Richard? Nah, I'm not a big fan of the bands playing, and wouldn't be able to afford it after ATP anyway. Still, I'm sure if you liked the bands it'd be fun! And if you enjoy it, then that throws any notion of relevance out the window, as far as I'm concerned.
