Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Its early I know, but with about 7 and a half months to go to the next Leeds, bands are now beginning to be rumoured. Im definatly going again this year and some of the rumoured names Ive heard are -

The White Stripes
Muse
AC/DC
Kiss
Aerosmith
Oasis
The Strokes
Blink 182
Iron Maiden
The Darkness

For me Kiss/Aerosmith along with The Darkness would rock - although AC/DC and Iron Maiden would be cool as well! Id like to see Oasis, but ive heard that their live crowds have a reputation for violence - which isnt really what you want at Leeds.

How come u lot all forget Reading?

Those bands look really cool, if any of those lot are there (apart from Blink 182) it will be certainly worth the trip!

Personally i hope The Darkness, Oasis, Iron Maiden and AC/DC confirm as i have never seen them live

Personally i was hoping for Guns N' Roses, D & The Stoned Maids.........well here's to hoping  :hihi:

If AC/DC, Iron Maiden and The Darkness are playing then im fucking there...again!

I wont however be prancing around half naked in a sheep skin coat!

methinks it is time to plan a vacation ;)

Muse, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, The White Stripes, AC/DC, The Darkness, The Strokes...

If it really does happen, that would be awesome! :rofl:

The White Stripes are playing. They are headlining one of the days. I think the Strokes will probably do Glastonbury instead. I can't see Maiden to the Carling festival, but do not rule out gnr

Metallica will be headlining the Download fest. Slipknot and korn also likely to be there.....but gnr will definitely not be there

May have to get there too then.....

If Acca Dacca are playing Leeds there is absolutely nothing that is gonna stop me going.  Nothing.  Not even death. :smoking:

Did you not say that last year? :P

I might well have done...I have a nasty habit of repeating myself....

But, it's not gonna happen, so I'll probably be saying it next year as well.  :'(

Ok,Miz.

If you dont go, ill kill you! :P

Are u scared now? :D

well...I was almost scared...almost...but the guy sticking his tongue out and the one with the big grin kinda lost all the scaryness. ;D

Anyway, you can't kill me because I'm already dead!!! MWUHAHAHAHAHA

or something like that anyway

If Korn play, and some good up and coming european bands get the smaller stages, then I'll go.

Wow, never had you down as a Korn fan.  Learn something new everyday...

Some of their stuff is right and heavy, most commercial metal bands wouldnt even dare play those chords.

This is true, they are heavy for sure, but I just can't get past the singing/lyrics though.  Having said that, I've only listened to a small amount of their stuff, but what I heard didn't particularly impress me.

Early Korn is better Korn...im not the biggest fan but there first album is heavy as fuck!

Apparently according to NME - AC/DC, The Darkness and The White Stripes are strongly rumoured to be headlining this year. Id rather see Gn'R or Aerosmith but AC/DC would still rock!

:drool: AC/DC!!!

I don't think The Darkness should headline really, I mean, they've only got one album, so they can't really play for a great deal more than an hour...

If they are the three headliners though it'll be pretty cool, because normally they seem to have an indie day, a rock day, and a metal/punk day (kinda) so maybe this year we won't have any indie :D

Come on, no Indie at Leeds? Its like not having the Apple in apple pies....they are bound to have indie somewhere.

I seriously hope they dont and that all Indie bands would move to an island where no one can hear there voices but themselves and other indie - ans.


I say Hatebreed to headline Friday, Winnebago Deal to Headline Saturday and Slayer on the Sunday!

Now that would rule!!!

The Darkness are 99% for headlining, apparently. This was decided about three months ago. The White Stripes are definite as well. Not sure on ACDC

I hope the White Stripes aren't headlining....if thats the best they can offer on a day...... :nervous:

Do you mean headlining as in last act on - or dual headlining below a bigger act e.g. AC/DC?

Soeone told me today, that the third headliner is gonna be The Beastie Boys.  Now, this is a rumour he heard, so probably isn't true (I hope it's not), but I thought I'd see what y'all thought about it.

Yeh - the Beastie have been a rumour on eFestivals.co.uk for a while. I like some of there stuff - id definatly rather see them that - The White Stripes, Muse or someone else like that.

Beasties would be great. Those guys have really grown musically. Their stuff was always top notch and amazing production, but it's even better now.

The Darkness, AC/DC, Beastie Boys as the three headliners would be amazing!
Although id love to see Aerosmith or Gn'R there!

Good bands who could make it;

Monster Magnet
Brides of Destruction
Guns N' Roses ( :rofl:)
Velvet Revolver
Skid Row

Those are the 5 bands i would love to see there

Damn right! Saw a Monset Magnet video on TV a yesterday - somthing hotel - it rocked!

Unbroken (Hotel Baby)..............i saw them at the end of last month fucking ace : ok:

According to post on the www.efestivals.co.uk forums by the site webmaster the Leeds Festival lineup will be announced on the 30th March. The site hopes to have the lineup up a few days before the offical announcement.
Mysteron - any knowledge of the lineup apart what you have already posted?

The lineup will now be annouced mid-day Monday. Oh and The Hives have confimed - they are crap!

I would like to see the Hives. I didn't last tiime because I thought their singles were crap.

But on listening to their last album, they seem more punk n' roll than garage. I actually said before, that their last album is more punk than anything thats been accepted commercially for 20 years, and I stand by that.

If you like that you will like the new album take a look in the mirror

Friday 27 August (Reading)
Saturday 28 August (Leeds):

The Darkness
The Offspring // Ash
The Hives

Saturday 28 August (Reading):
Sunday 29 August (Leeds):

The White Stripes
Morrissey // The Libertines
Franz Ferdinand

Sunday 29 August (Reading):
Friday 27 August (Leeds):

 Green Day
50 Cent


Plus these acts will be playing over the six stages during the weekend (with more to be announced...):


Lost Prophets // The Streets


Confirmed by www.bbc.couk/radio1

That sucks - the only band i want to see are The Darkness so far, and i still think them headlining is a bit to far up the lineup, second behind AC/DC or someone like that would have been better.

Sucky lineup

Thats the shittest fucking lineup ever!

If there are some other good bands playing on the friday i might just go up on the Friday if not then fuck it.

Who the fuck are Morrisey??

Bollox to that.


Carling suck!

Morrisey is the lead singer of The Smiths apparently - who ive never heard, but there an 80's Indie band. Sounds like a crap act to me!

You've never heard of The Smiths?

Weird...

Meh, they were meh.

Q love them, I think. Not suprising.

I might just go up to boo 50 Cent and get stoned.

Plus, you didn't expect the headliners to be all that special at a Festival like this, did you?

I'm waiting for the bands who won't be playing on the main stage to be announced before I make any rash decisions, it could still rule.  :)

But, I'm still considering Download...

Ive heard of The Smiths and heard The Smiths and they are crap IMO.

And no, like you UI i will wait until the other acts are confirmed, if there are some wee icle hardcore bands and rock and roll bands playing the tents then i may go for one day.

I love the festival atmosphere, the weed, the drunken bastards and i wanna go to one definately, whether it be Leeds, Download(preferably) or HITS i wanna go...meet some fellow stoners/Rockers and have a good time for a few times then come back to the shit that is life!

The Smiths are brilliant!  But I've not heard any of Morrisey's solo stuff so I don't know if its as good as The Smiths.

But regardless, it's still a sucky lineup.

I'd like to see the White Stripes, but I don't think The Darkness should be headlining because they've only got 1 album and so not enough decent material.

What an awful line up - they should be ashamed of themselves, 50 Cent headlining oh my god

Honestly - how many of the bands have u even heard of??? I thought Reading/Leeds was about Killer rock acts not some stage for amaeteurs to train on....

(http://66.129.120.248/images/upload/Reading-Line-Up(1).gif)

The only band i would like to see is The Wildhearts all the others suck.  I only got into The Wildhearts the other week as well thanx to Chris Misfit : ok:  but considering their place on the line up, getting a ticket for like a 30 minute set if that ain't worth it like i said before everyone should go Download instead it's far superior.

The Donna's and Wildhearts on the same day. That's great! Man, I hope those ladies are touring in August. Beer? Rock n' roll? Pretty ladies? Rock on, baby!

Young Heart Attack and The Bronx on the second day would be sweet.

Dropkicks, Thrice and Green Day on the last day.

But it's the worst line-up that festival has ever had.. I'd just have to sit and drink all day, as apposed to sitting drinking most of the day.

The Donnas?  I saw them on some stupid MTVesque documentory last night, ranting about how sexy Jennifer Lopez and Madonna are.  I think i'd rather spend a day climbing into that cesspit of a toilet they had last year... :P

Anyways, i'm going, but just for a drugs.  The line-up is so bad I wanna cry.

One thing though:  Chris - will see you at The Wildhearts!

I'm not going man.

Please go see The Donnas, baby, because they rock. By far the most rock n' roll band in the mainstream. Their riffage is untouched, and their melodies are fantastic.

Try downloading Backstage or 40 Boys in 40 Nights, and get ready for the rock, and then the roll.

PS= Check the Dangerfields thread I put up the other day, because you're coming to see them play with the Groovie Ghoulies (ramones type surf punk) at Junction 7. I'm dragging all the scrubs and punkers to this one, baby.

Rock on, fuckers.

Im looking forward to seeing The Darkness, The Streets, The Wildhearts and Young Heart Attack (Stoned you should check them out) mainly. Got my ticket a few weeks back!

Are The Distillers any good? : ok:

They are if you like out of tune bollocks i saw some of them at Donnington i stared at the Brody's ass most of the time she's not bad looking, then i fucked off to my tent for a bit of booze and could hear them in the distance not really worth it.  I wanna see The Wildhearts but am not going just for them.  So Lineker dude who are this Young Heart Attack and what makes ya think id like 'em then?  Thing is i wanted to go to Leeds this year make it 3 years in a row and i love the festival experience but unless i discover other bands playing i like i ain't gonna show.

P.S. How the fuck can anyone look forward to The Streets?

Well - i may go watch them for some eye candy then : ok:

Young Heart Attack sound like classic rock - they have 2 singers - a guy who sounds like Bon Scott and a women who adds a cool touch to the sounds - there cool - dwld some of their stuff, especially the song Mouthful of Love.

The Streets are great! Its more like spoken word than singing, but his lyrics are all so true - its like hes describing stuff that happens to you!

You not a fan of The Darkness?

I was last year i was really into them and loved seeming them live but ive tired of them this year and if i was there i would see them but forking out for The Darkness & The Wildhearts...mmm...i need more, ill check out Young Heart Attack hopefully i can add them to my list

I think this year with the new album finished they will probably play new material as well as the old classics. Im hoping that some of the bands lower down on the bill turn out to be bands i like - because seeing cool bands in a smaller tent is ace.

That is soo true most of the bands i liked most at Donnington were away from the main stage, smaller ones in tents are better because;

1) Easier to get to the front because it's not as crowded
2) No Sun shining down on you to blind your vison or burn ya to a crisp
3) More up close and personal and it's on these stages the frontmen often come down into the crowd

If anyone knows of any classic rock and/or cool style bands that are on their that havent been mentioned - please share! : ok:

(This is a Reading ad so the days are wrong - for Leeds it - Green Day:Friday, The Darkness:Saturday, The White Stripes:Sunday).

Go see Mark Lanegan.

That's where you'd find me if I went to any of those festivals.  : ok:

Im not a fan of QOTSA - is his solo stuff just like that?

Not really. Maybe some of the new songs, but most of his older stuff is acoustic and/or depressing stuff. :D

You can listen to some RealAudio clips at http://www.onewhiskey.com/discography.htm


/jarmo

Why has nobody mentioned the Velvet Revolver rumours yet?

Apparently they've got gigs on, like, every day of the month except the Leeds/Reading days - so everyone thinks they'll be the special guests.  This is what all my friends keep reminding me, anyway.

I'll definately give the 5,6,7,8's a try - just for Kill Bill and that cool advert. 8)

Well - i was hoping for them, but theres no special guest slots left.

Aahh come on...50 Cent has to be a joke....how long will he last before getting laughed off stage?  That leaves a slot open... :rofl:

I don't like him much either - but with that line up he's the best thing there!

I'm afriad even if VR were confirmed i wouldn't be making the trip to reading/leeds - that line up just makes me feel ill even to look at :nervous:

In case anyone wants to know the New York Dolls have replaced The Vines who have pulled out. The NY Dolls - yessssssssssss!!!! Come on!! This is gonna be a great festival - Young Heart Attack, The Wildhearts, The Darkness, NY Dolls and The Streets!

And the Donnas, dude!

Cool.

At first I thought the line-up sucked this year, because all the big bands are a bit average, but there are actually loads of bands that I wanna go see.  This festival may rock yet.
 

Like Mark Lanegan?  ;D

Nobody's going to check out his set? What's wrong with you?  :P

 :hihi:


/jarmo

I'll go watch him if i'm not doing anything else...  :P

Arthur "Killer" Kane, bassist for the New York Dolls has died - RIP. It is unkown wether the schedualed apperances a Reading/Leeds will now go ahead.

RIP

I hope you guys are gonna post about how the Wildhearts gig is?

I feel sick to my stomach that I won't be there moonstomping to them. :(

Looks as though the NY Dolls are still playing. Plus theres a small band called The Gliteratti (S?) that are meant to be really good playing the Carling Stage - supposedly like Gn'R. Im going down to Leeds on Wednsday, its gonna kick ass!

AAAHHHH!!

One day to goooooooo!


All together now:  LEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSSS!!!

People always forget about Leeds over Reading so it's nice to turn the tables! : ok:

THE RASMUS have walked off stage at CARLING WEEKEND: READING after being pelted with bottles and mud.

Eyewitnesses at the gig have told NME.COM that as soon as the band came on stage, objects started flying towards where they were playing. One fan had a banner which read ?Burn The Rasmus?.

A fan claimed: ?People were throwing bottles and mud. There was so much shit on the stage! A few bars into ?Guilty? they stopped playing a walked off stage, which was within the first couple of songs.?

A spokesperson for the group told NME.COM the decision to leave the stage was made after bassist Eero was ?hit in the eye?.

Bands scheduled to play after The Rasmus include Green Day, 50 Cent, Placebo and The Streets.

The Rasmus are a crappy band, but throwing glass at someone's face is just fucking retarded.

Agreed. The yob mentality is the only downside to that festival. This is the first year in 5 I haven't been, but I'm glad I don't have to spend four days with a bunch of idiots who can't handle their alcohol.

Fiddy got bottled off at Reading as well.  But aparently at leeds only a couple of things got thrown.  Surprising, after I always thought the tossers were the ones who went to Leeds and started fires and destroyed everything.

And somehow I don't think he was a fan...


To be fair though, The Rasmus and 50 Cent both suck.


Jarmo, I didn't watch Mark Lanegan because I was watching the White Stripes, so I'm sorry but I figured I'd have more chance to catch him playing a club somewhere than I would of seeing the White Stripes.  But if he plays somewhere near me I'll go watch him, and then if he sucks i'll complain.

And Chris, The Wildhearts were pretty awesome.  Apart from the White Stripes, they were the best band I saw all weekend (although the rest of the line-up sucked).  Ginger seemed like a down to earth guy, and was also entertaining.  Since I'm not all that familiar with their stuff i'm can't really go into how the songs sounded and shit like that, but suffice to say, they were about a hundred times better as a live band than anyone I saw on the concrete jungle stage.
