with the exception of cancer bats, its pretty meh

Despite going to Download I’m still interested to see when this ‘big announcement’ will be…

Personally, I think Sonisphere is starting to piss all over Wankload!! HAHA!

Rockmetalchick!

Awesome! dirty little rabbits and corey hell yeah!!!!! ;)

charlie

wheres this big announcment!!!

I’m guessing that Sonisphere think that Corey Taylor is the big announcement

Despite the fact that the Download announcement contained only Steel Panther and The 69 Eyes of any interest to me, this latest batch of additions to Sonisphere pales in comparison to those very two bands alone. The line-up doesn’t look any more special than it did before. Seen most of those bands before, not particularly dying to see those that I haven’t.

For Your Malice

they need two or three big bands for me to startt interest.

alkthough log are one of my favourites,and there are MFH and skindred, not gonna pay 180 notes to see em.

People, this isn’t the big announcement. These are just 3rd stage acts that are just there. The big announcement is the 2nd sub headliner to play before metallica or linken park (metallica i think) which has not been anounnced yet.

noob potato: we know this isnt the ‘big one’ but its getting stupid, they said 3 weeks ago there would be an announcement… still nothing… deciding if i should go to Download aswell but need the to know whos playing sonis!

its a good line-up for sonisphere, however im going to wacken that weekend which makes sonisphere look pretty crappy in comparison, besides best british festival is bloodstock

Slay-er Slay-er Slay-er Slayerrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! Please? And hopefully Mastodon won’t play too many tracks from ‘Crack the Skye’-what a disappointment.

skin hitter
