It's about time someone apart from Metallica headlined. Seriously, they've done it the past two years. They are good live, but really they shouldn't be hogging the limelight. Tool is tool, you can't front them, but Guns and Roses? What is this, 1986?
As for the other acts Funeral for a Friend are OK, but not a preferred act. Trivium a lot of people like but they've never really "done it" for me. Bullet for my Valentine have even heavier welsh accents than FFAF, so I really can't take them seriously. Avenged Sevenfold = Bleh. All-American Rejects again not interested. Coheed and Cambria makes me feel ever so much happier, they own. Alterbridge rocks my socks. Lacuna Coil, well what can I say? My favourite pop-goth band by far, I'd kill to see them. Soulfly < Sepultura, but still awesome. Arch Enemy I imagine will rock live. Stone Sour make a welcome return (I prefer them over Slipknot anyday). Dragonforce are silly, very silly, but fun. Alice in Chains I'd refuse to watch without the legendary Layne, unless they happen to have cloned him. 36 Crazyfists I like one song of, but again unsure. Cradle of Filth ARE a Cradle of Filth, so moving swiftly on. Strappingyounglad...? Alexisonfire, you all know how I feel about EMO. Secret Machines never heard of 'em. Sikth are awesome technically, but they're just too damn weird and offbeat for my liking. Within Temptation I've never gotten into, I kinda classify them under the same group as Trivium. Killing Joke never head of. InMe have an awesome debut, and a awful sophomore, and I imagine they'd play more Butterfly than Eden, so I'd probably avoid. Clutch never heard of. Eighteen Vision again never heard of. Hatebreed, score, sounding better. Ginger and the...what? Fishbone bleh. I don't know most of the rest, only Sevendust I know and like.
So there's some good acts, but a lot of ones I'd avoid. Dunno if I'd go. Unless Machine Head played. LC and MH in the same week? I'd probably die of awesomeness overload.
