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 :D

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 :(

Id love to see The fratellis, eagels of death metal, boykillboy, bullet, Panic! (I've seen them live before, it was very very good), The Spinto Band and wolfmother.

those would be my favourites :D

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.

O.P. RE: Why this years Reading Festival sucks (for me)
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
