Sebastian Bach is an ignorant prick. Would be cool but he is ignorant.
All the rest are rad, seen Steel Panther in London in June and seeing them next week at Shepherd’s Bush. Seen Skynyrd live, twas amazing, seeing Dio at Forum. Most of the others would be amazing to.

Sorry guys but you wouldn’t get The Darkness. Stone God’s mabey, but you had them this year. Also that Justin prick wouldn’t and non of stone gods would go back to them.

Where is AC/DC?

Pretty much all of those would be great. I’d actually really like to see Bon Jovi.

If i am not mistaken, didn’t Sebastian Bach come on stage with Guns N’ Roses in 2006? This is what I heard cause I left after five songs cause they were shit but yeah…..?

There should be a little more AC/DC on this list.

Er wheres Iron Maiden I have heard they dont often do festivals but please let it be Iron Maiden.

Bands that sound like Classic Rock:The Answer,Stone Gods and Blackstone Cherry

Motorhead could play ..

Sadly, I’ve never seen AC/DC and don’t expect I’ll ever have the opportunity to see them in the UK. If they can sell out 2 Wembley Stadium, why would they play a festival?

I wouldnt say the darkness are classic rock, and i hate steel panther their joke is wearing very thin. cant stand bon jovi either. But apart from that the rest seem ok to listen to, i would definately go given that lineup

Van Halen would be great but unlike KISS they dont seem to be interested in coming over for the fans when they can make more money in the US.

all of those wood be awfy cool lyk, obvious ommisions are ac/dc and iron maiden. you said sebastian bach hasnt been a part of the download festivities yet, but what about download 06 with gnr? ha. heed b gr8 to see lyk
the darkness? i’d love to see them, but the stone gods are just so much better
wheres black stone cherry?

i think they should spilt download into 3 separate genre specified days next year and get rid of the side stages:
friday is heavy metal day with maiden, priest, heaven and hell/dio, motorhead, saxon, and a couple of newer bands like wolf and cauldron
saturday is thrash day, with the big four plus testament, machine head, and a couple of newer bands like evile and municipal waste
sudnay is classic rock day, with preferebly ac/dc headlining but there too big probs, so van halen headlining, then the likes of deep purple, skynyrd, wasp, motley crue, poison, black stone cherry, airbourne, the answer, stone gods, etc playing.

how wood that go down?

Download classic rock day headliners…The Scorpions.

@Daz: I don’t think BSC were included because they kinda, y’know, played both Download 08 and 09… it’s kind of unlikely they would play three years in a row.

AC/DC,Motley Crue,Motorhead (Poison suck),The Answer

Please not Stone Gods again so boring its The Darkness wiithought the talented one.

the darkness & system of a down.
if anyone can do it, it’s copping.

Ratt, Dokken & White Lion.

And at the risk of sounding like a prick and losing loads of mates… ahhh, fuck it, I don’t give a shit. I saw Stryper twice when I was in high school and they fuckin’ rocked out!! The “To Hell With The Devil” tour and also the “In God We Trust” tour. One of the best live bands I ever saw and that’s a FACT!!

I thought Aerosmith were on hiatus?

Black Sabbath/ Hevean and Hell, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Motorhead,…………… Rolling Stones??? maybe

Rush, anyone?

Love\Hate ! About time they where back on big stages agin

motley crue r gonna headline , they pretty much said so this yr at download something along the lines of “how would u like 2 see us come back mainstage nxt year” (i was fucked so cant remember exactly) but motley crue ftw

VAINS OF JENNA!!!!!

Yeah Rush! Bring ‘em on!

Queensryche, Cinderella, Tesla, White Lion, a reformed GNR, maybe Marty Friedman with Megadeth? Great White anybody?

Little Angels, Warrant, Thin Lizzy, Bachman Turner Overdrive

Hola dudes, the question was for classic rock bands guys…how are you all missing the fact that Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath practicaly invented heavy METAL?

AC/DC was a bit of an omission though.

its basically the same thing when it comes to Download Merk ¬_¬

Oh, and where’s the old Led Zepellin rumour?

Bon Jovi won’t ever happen, sorry to say it. They can sell out stadiums all over the country no problem, why would they play a shorter set for less money and less prestige?

As there’s a new album out before the end of the year I wouldn’t bet against Kiss returning. they wouldn’t be able to draw a crowd as big as Download on their own.

Van Halen would be a dream come true for me and I think it’ll happen maybe not 2010 but 2011. Too much money to be made in the states. Like Kiss they wouldn’t draw as large a crowd as a Download festival on their own so I think they’ll turn up eventually.

Aerosmith might be a good shout depending on the health of the band.

AC/DC? Yes please. They should come and say Goodbye in style at Donington.

I suspect the classic rock day may move to the second stage next year as really big classic headliners are becoming less available due to big money american tours.

I could see the line up being:

Deep Purple
Alice Cooper or Rush (special guests)
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Queensryche
Steel Panther (if the joke is still funny in June next year)
WASP
Hot Leg
Million Dollar Reload

I could also see Heaven and Hell turning up after Iommi’s hand heals.

Reef would be fucking amazing for a mid-afternoon slot. Oh yes…

Im thinking Aerosmith

Cant see rush playing download

Interesting. And Metal Hammer only like Steel Panther for that song ‘Death to all but metal’ just cause of the name.

So narrow minded

KISS could get a bigger crowd then they would get at Download, i no allot of fools dont like them because Gene speaks his mind rather then putting on an act but you cant just make stuff up because of that.

bret michaels wears wigs?….shocker…….

AC/DC
Heaven & Hell

As Dio is suggested, how about Benedictum?

@COBHCJQ

YES! HOLY FUCKING YES. Vains Of Jenna are my favourite band, so amazing. New album is better then first. Dirty Penny (a band who sometimes plays with VOJ and are close) follow me on twitter for some reason, I sent them a direct message saying they should tour over here with VOJ and they said it’s in the works and hopefully 2010!
Can’t. fucking. wait.

Where the hell are Maiden??

They could fill a whole day on their own.

I have yet to go to a download but I would not miss it for the world if Maiden headlined!

AC/DC…obviously.

Bon Jovi?
My perfect sunday lineup
AC/DC
Scorpions
Motorhead
Dokken
The Answer

all of them are shit

AC/DC would be fantastic, but they don’t do festivals these days so I highly doubt it’d happen, but never say never.

Maiden did it in 2007 which wasn’t long ago so they won’t do it, they’re more likely to do Sonisphere next year.

Aerosmith would be fuckin rad. As would my ultimate guilty pleasure, The Darkness (stone gods aren’t that good).

And Rammstein of course.

Sigur ros,
Killswitch !

Prince !?

The CRUE! Oh and get sebastian to re-unite with skid row!

CLASSIC ROCK bring on helloween!!! would also love to see REO speedwagon on the main stage good times!!!

The Scorpions.and bon jovi!

yes bon jovi r playing the o2 but if you give them enuf money and just tell them to play their greatest hits plus 1 or 2 songs from the new album it be rocking

living on a prayer

I would love to see Motley again next year and I think WASP would be ace as they were brilliant when I seen them on this tour

Just knowing there is gonna be another classic rock day I just can’t wait!!!! Alice would be good though!

Toto split up last year ya eeejits!!!

I really think headliners will be

AC/DC – FOR SURE
BON JOVI
VAN HALEN

but im really hoping for METALLICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive seen Bon Jovi three times already and hopefully this will be a fourth. If you get a chance GO SEE THEM. I would actually pass out if Aerosmith, Poison, Alice Cooper, Bon Jovi, WASP, Steel Panther played.

I want to see Billy Idol xx Get it pumped guys

for classic rock sunday

ACDC and steel panther have been confirmed so they a safe bet.
Would love to see the orginal black sabbath but tony and ozzy have had a major falling out and dio unfortunately has cancer so sabbath are pretty much out
Love to see Deep Purple, Cinderella and Billy Idol play
And of course JOURNEY!!
on the other days like to see Paramore and faith no more.
