BMTH… -__________________________-
Rollins & FF = epic win!
But Placebo & BMTH??? That will be forced dinner time I think. Steer clear of the main stages…
Well that is very good!!
nice one about rollins and fear factory.can see sonisphere are trying to vary the types of bands!
Yeees, Rollins!
Not to pleased with placebo or bring me the horizon….
Big four please!
FUCK SAKE NO!!!!!!
the only good news about this is Fear Factory the rest of the bands are completely SHITE
maiden, slayer, rammstein, fear factory, motley crue, alice cooper and anthrax fuck yes but the rest hell no
placebo are one of the few indie type bands i actually like, wouldn’t go to one of their gigs tho so this is an easy way for me to see them. quite pleased.
fear factory should be wicked too, papa roach are a decent festival band but shite at their own gigs (how i got conned into that i’ll never know)
henry rollins should be amusing but BMTH are just poor, if we’re gonna get deathcore at least give us something decent like the red shore or carnifex
UK festival exclusive performances from BMTH and Papa Roach?
This bodes well for download
@ MattC: My thoughts exactly – we didn’t want them there anyway.
Fear Factory are also not Sonisphere exclusives. That menas they will probably show up somewhere. Reckon Download is the only real option.
Ignoring the headliners, this bill is suddenly looking a little underwhelming. My money says Sonisphere blew their load early.
this is a good line up, expect placebo and bring me the shit. download get ya shit together sonisphere has my vote atm
Bring me Henry Rollins only! not those two poser bands, i want real music
Henry Rollins is quite a pleasing surprise for me, I hope he sturs something up, like andrew o neill did with ‘FUCK THE BNP’
hopefully bmth and fear factory will play wacken aswell..
Shane u have obviously not heard of BLOODSTOCK the festival they were down to do this year aswell so fuck download they will be back at BOA.
About sonisphere this announcement really pales in comparison to the last one only decent band are Fear Factory papa roach have gone so down hill since infest.
y oh y r bmth playin, rubbish as fuck
There I was expecting Metallica & Megadeth, and I get BMTH…
Mark, simmer down there my champion. Yes I have heard of Bloodstock. My thinking is that:
1] they may not be able to afford them this year as with a new album out, their profile (and price tag) will be much bigger in 09 than 08.
2] Bloodstock have announced some fucking killer bands already, which makes me wonder where FF would fit on their bill.
I could be wrong (as could you mind), but my money is on a good Download slot.
Papa Roach was ok back in the day, but the last album or 2 are pretty lame.
we have half of the big four….give us the rest!!!
SONISPHERE FUCK NO!!!!! THIS LINE-UP HAS GONE COMPLETELY AND UTTER PISH!!! WTF IS GOING ON!!!!
Iron Maiden, Rammstein, Slayer and Fear Factory FUCK YEAH BUT THE REST….WTF ARE YOU GUYS THINKING????????
Be nice if Fear Factory actually fuckin’ turn up this time around
I love the comments on this site. Sheer lulz
Well that was pretty meh
well i know who to bottle at sonisphere bring me the horizon suck
King of heavy metal, you sound like such a prick, wanting to bottle bands, maybe a different festival is better for you ie Reading or Download, we don’t tolerate that behaviour at Sonisphere.
As to the lineup, it is already one of the best lineups in Europe once again, it’s only December, plent of time and bands to turn this lineup around if you don’t like it.
Look at other festivals, Download is yet to announce a single band yet, but always has a poor lineup and a crap atmosphere, it’s a no-brainer
Gobstoppers at the ready for Bring Me The Hairspray?
papa roach and fear factory!!!! AWESOME but placebo o dear. emo twats will be on rammstein so hopefully they ll be bottled off!
Well, Fear Factory are great, and Placebo and Papa Roach are ok, so that’s alright. But why oh why BMTH? If Oli Sykes left 90% of their fanbase would desert them, that how lame their music is. Ah well, great bottle targets
All of a sudden i’m feeling better about buying my Download 2010 tickets!!! Placebo??? YUKK!!!
off to see Fear Factory at wolves in feb… original line up!! fcuk yeah!
hope bmth are at wacken aswell
well lets hope the downloads announcement rapes this
GNR WITH SLASH ANYONE?
a aterly cant beleve that slayer are sposed to be at the same festival as bring me the shit
thats fucking terrible
Aw well. We still have Maiden, Rammtein Copper Motley the Thrax and Slayer. Still a good line up even with thoses bellends.
Thats (not) metal!
Fear Factory will play Bloodstock too to make up for it last year.
Bring Me the Horizon are perfectly good, Suicide Season was an awesome album.
Papa Roach are very fun live.
Henry Rollins is just a legend.
Placebo are absoloutely huge and a great announcement. However ‘tah metulz’ may not appreciate them. They are very enjoyable live I must say.
This lineup is already looking pretty amazing.
Oh well can’t please everyone all of the time, I’ve never heard of Henry Rollins, is that a bad thing??
@Troy: Yes. He is the singer of Black Flag.
Fear Factory: FUCK YES
Henry Rollins: LEGEND
BMTH: not a fan. Oli is an utter prick in my eyes.
Papa Roach: haven’t seen before but heard good things. Prefer earlier stuff though.
Placebo: Can see why some people don’t agree with them being at this fest but fuck it, I enjoy their music! =D
Cool, I shall check him out, it’s looking good so far. I don’t know why there is so much hate for Bring Me the Horizon…
If Rollins was playing then fine but I`m not keen on a spoken word slot, I think that`s a waste of an opportunity for another band.
a lot of people hate bring me the horizon cos their music is shite, a lot of people hate them cos ollie sykes is a twat, others hate them cos of they lead the crappy fringecore movement! take your pick.
personally i dont care that they are at the festival, perfect excuse to go for a beer and some lunch. bottling bands is for tossers, it means u still have to listen to them play when u could be doing something much better
I love Placebo, but they just don’t fit in at a metal festival. Their singer is pretty um…..colorful, and I don’t think that the people who came for metal will appreciate them.
And really? BMTH at possibly THE most epic festival EVER? No thank you. I’ll just have to wait for Rammstein and Maiden to come to the states.
AC/DC leaked on there own site about a Donnington gig on the Friday… So download hope is not all lost…
well fear factory are playing bloodstock too so its highly unlikely they’ll be at download now

and suddenly, sonisphere uk looks worse :/
“My money says Sonisphere blew their load early.” – Might be spot on Shane, that is a seriously duff announcement considering it’s this early on and they started so strongly.
I know Henry Rollins is a ‘legend’ and all, but his spoken word act is complete, unmitigated self-indulgent rubbish.
Iron Maiden and Rammstien are amazin no question but Placebo have just ruianed what could hav been a awsome fest
they have added one gd and to a awosme line up but now that BMTH are thyere they will just fucking ruin that line up. but they shouldnt have released the big names so near the begingin of the list coz now every band added will be compared to the legends that are maiden, rammstein, slayer, alice cooper , etc.
one band ruin the line up? grow up u fucking cuntwarts!
BRING ME THE HORIZONN !
HEEEEEELLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !
slayer ruined this fucking line up, least sonisphere have realised they fucked up by booking slayer and started announcing some more good bands like BMTH
On Sonisphere tour list, we can’t see the line up for Istanbul. Meanwhile, the dates are the same with Bucharest. What is supposed to mean?
Finally, as Turkish metalheads, we want Iron Maiden in Istanbul, of course with big four!!!
Why’s everyone worrying about Placebo and BMTH? Beer tent, thata way…
God what’s with all these bitching about BMTH?
I happen to like them.
Neway if ppl wanna hate then direct ur hatred to hip hop/urban stuff and the chavs who love that stuff. Especially those who find they have to play said choons on their fones at max volume at da back of the bus.
“maiden, slayer, rammstein, fear factory, motley crue, alice cooper and anthrax fuck yes but the rest hell no”
Don’t forget Iggy Pop! What an icon, at any rate! Remember, this isn’t the whole line up! I really hope Coheed and Cambria return, that would be most awsome!
bmth atract a lot of hate due to ollie sykes an the fact they tried to rape a girl in nottingham an when she didnt want to know they pissed on her an the friend with her an threw a jagermeister bottle that split her head open line up looks ok so

Ahahahahaha you wingey bunch of miserable bastards
With bands like Maiden, Rammstein and Anthrax playing, who gives a shit if a bunch of youguns (BMTH) that cant handle a big stage, get up and have a go. Seen them twice on festival stages, and they are good musicians, but agreed are fucking crap at playing festivals, amongst the worst bands Iv ever seen live.
If anything learnt from these past times, is that youll actually take great enjoyment out of throwing shit at them. Dont get all depressed
Sonisphere is looking great. I have nothing against Papa Roach or Placebo, i’m not a fan but wouldn’t mind seeing a set from them.
But BMTH are just awful. I don’t like their music and i don’t like their hair.
person above i hope you die
“i hate their hair”
fuck off, just because you dont find them attractive, that ain’t a reason to hate on them you gay fuck.
sorry but that the most idiotic comment ever. “i don’t like their hair” LMFAO!!!!
BMT are just a trend they will be dead in a fuw years when scene kids have moved on to other fasions were as metal isent a trend its a life style so metal will live for ever
Well I think it will be a brill show specially rammstein I have the new album I ordered the box set complete with dildos \../._^o^_.\../
Just pre-booked my tickets, I’ve not yet listened to this group BMTH, but if they do have such terrible hair as Ollie says, then I shant be seeing them.
I’m a bit late in reading this, but I wish I had the extra vacation time. Rammstein AND Placebo? I’ve never seen Rammstein live (it’s been years since they played in the States) and I fucking LOVEEEEEE Placebo. One of my all time favorite bands. I have feeling this gig will end up being like the first time I saw them at a gig in NYC for a local radio station. They were on the same bill as Kid Rock (yes, you read that correctly) and Fred Durst was hosting and he lead a chant of “faggot” as Placebo came out. Not fun for the band, but a fucking great live band all the same.
I Like Some Of BMTH Songs, But Still Bottle them Of Stage!?
So… Bottles of piss for BMTH ??
Some time before, I really needed to buy a building for my corporation but I did not earn enough money and could not buy something. Thank goodness my mother proposed to try to get the personal loans at banks. Hence, I did that and was satisfied with my credit loan.
