Come on Grimes, she can't play Wacken AND Glastonbury

ferdi

Motörhead are the only band i'd go for...and possibly whitesnake

elmyra

Who are Whitesnake? My dad told me he went drinkin' with them and I think I was supposed to be impressed but I've never heard of them

humbert

Here I Go Again - on my own, they were played on the oc, love that song!

ferdi

your dad went drinkin with whitesnake!!!!??!!!! that is so very cool! they're a big hard rock band from 70s/80s - big guitars, bigger hair - rocknroll baby!!!

elmyra

Oh cool I love the OC...so much so that I have the boxset, I can listen to them now and see if they're cool. You should take my OC quiz

oh ok...yeah i didn't think they were that famous. he was chefing in a hotel where they stayed here and he was drinking with them in their suite apparently, I only remember the name cos he only mentioned it recently

Went the last 3 years, I'm taking a break this year to go to California instead, so need to save the cash.

Motorhead played in 2004, but they were unfortunately crap, possibly due to sound engineering issues, lineup looks good this year, lots of cheese, hope it stays dry for whoever is going!

Jonny Arson

TBH I'd much rather to go a festival with James Blunt, Daniel O'Donnell, Westlife, B Witched, S Club 7, Steps and New Kids On The Block as the main acts.

Probably Oxegen since it's becoming a festival marketed for 14 year olds.

TBH I think we would need Gareth Gates and The Vengaboys to be added to make this proposed festival of mine for it to be rocking!

Waltons

I, also, am poor I do like the lineup, but I'd rather go to one of the festivals Tool are playing

Hi guys,

you might not have expected it, but there is acutally one (well, maybe more) German who reads your boards occationally.
I study in Karlsruhe (D) and I'd like to come over to the UCD for half a year (or maybe a year) in 2007/2008.

The wacken lineup isn't that bad (I like all kinds of metal, but prefer midage-gothic-rock) but not as good as in other years imho.

I think I'll go to Summer Breeze this year (www.summer-breeze.de), for it is cheaper and much closer to Karlsruhe. I regret I wasn't there in 2005 - Haggard, InExtremo, SubwayToSally and Pain(!) are some of my most favourite bands.

If you go there or planning to go, let me know

beanyb

I'd so get 100% in the oc quiz elmyra. with the only slight doubt in my mind being number 23...

elmyra

Go for it, I don't mind!
