8 Bands over the whole weekend, if it was 8 bands a day then i'd consider going, but otherwise in my opinion its crap for your money and somone needs to be shot for putting my chemical romance on after slayer, still if anyone is going take a video recorder and film the bottles flying towards them please

Anyone else feel that this years lineup is shite (like V festival also which has been shit for last few years, last good one was with foo fighters and qotsa) I know alot of people from chelmsford aren't going to V this year and add increasing prices to list of shitness makes the whole experience rather expensive and crap

I've put the bands id like to see in bold

stigmata reveals he likes em0 and boring music

+1 for reel big fish though - 1 for now Less than jake

Rise Against and My Chemical Romance rocks

too lazy to read all that... but after looking at the first two days or whatever... your taste in music sucks IMO... Panic at the disco... Dashboard, Fallout Boy....

Now that i've looked through it... Coheed and Cambria... Jet... jeesh haha... I'd like, die to go see all of them

festivals suck cause you never know what you'll get
Anti-Flag is sweet live, soooooooooo friggin sweet. i really hope you enjoy them

I wouldnt mind seeing Bouncing Souls, or Against Me, buuut...thats really it. Those 3 bands are the bands id buy a ticket for, and id watcha  few of the others just to pass time.. and then throw shit at the rest of them

what the hell is wrong with you?! Placebo own! and wolfmother totally rock and the dresden dolls arent bad

Eagles of Death Metal? Seriously, they're so bad live. They were at the  last Foo Fighters gig. ¬¬

The Reading Festival has never tempted me, there's not enough good stuff there.

another reason why it sucks is i've seen most of the bands before at other festivals in the past 3 years

I'm into my thrash metal and shredding guitars, i like other stuff too but i just prefer metal and not em0 or whiny rock.

if it had been something more like Cky, Rammstein, Slipknot, Stone Sour, Foo fighters, Queens of The Stone Age, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Audioslave, Avenged Sevenfold, Chimaria, Disturbed, Electric Eel Shock, flogging Molly, God forbid, ill nino, in flames, motorhead, soulfly, spunge, less than jake, System of a Down, Viking Skull, Raging Speedhorn

i'd have killed for a ticket

Woah, I want that concert! And to aNILEator for music taste.

read the title first time.. reading festival? wtf.... who goes to a festival to read ¬_¬

Bold is for people I would like to see, - S is for people I've allready seen. All in all there's enough to keep me happy but I probably wouldn't good money for my ticket.

* Johnny_Mac agree's with Stigmata.

Although i'm at Leeds and get to finish off with Muse.
