I'd vote for any of those but i'd love to see Rage live.

Wow. Downloaded it a couple of hours ago and have had it on repeat ever since. Don't yet know what anyone else thinks of it but I love it. better than some of the songs on Valley of the Damned imo, if this one's anything to go by the next album's going to be a scorcher.

Has it? Last time I bought it was more than six months ago so it may have changed a bit. Never tried Powerplay before though I saw it advertised at Bloodstock 02, where can I get hold of it?

Agree with you on that. Classic Rock's the only music magazine i'll buy (if I ever do). Their charts usually have quite a few good albums in them (seen Blind Guardian in there before as well) and i'm sure they had a mention of Bloodstock last year at the beginning somewhere with the dates.

I certainly hope so. It's the album pre-release show so I think it's likely. As to the topic of plastic weaponry I shall certainly be looking into the purchase of a plastic scythe this year :p

Saw FWK supporting Blaze last year and they are indeed brutal and are perfect for the darwin suite but i'd also like to see any of the following: Return to Sabbat (was a fool in 02 and missed their whole set), Elvenking (if you don't get them this year, get them for 05!), Vintersorg (truly...

Theshold are a truly superb band but if you compare them to the status of the saturday headliner and last years friday headliner then i'd say that they make an excellent second band but aren't quite headliner material yet, at least for a festival of this calibre. I'd love to see Gamma Ray as the...

Praying Mantis would definitely get my vote. I can't see Judas Priest happening, not at the festivals current size. Would be great though, specially with Rob back in the band :rock:

Stormwarrior are a truly superb metal band! Even if it;s not this year, get them over for the Darwin stage. I'd also love to see Gamma Ray again after 02's performance though i'd also like to see some new bands especially Sonata Arctica if you hadn't already gathered from my earlier posts :)

Great news, but I agree with eagle in that they'll probably be doing bigger shows. However, I also think that they do great rock and if Diamondhead and, wait a min, why have white buffalo been removed from the band list? ( though, no complaints from this man) can be booked for the fest. Though...

Right, if Bodom aren't the ones for Bloodstock 04 then what about Gravedigger?? Truly superb band with a great record of superb releases. Well, I may be a bit biast in the fact that they're one of the bands I want to see live the most along with Sonata Arctica but surely their price tag is less...

Highs Seeing Iron Maiden for the first time Having drinks with Iron Maiden in the hotel bar :) The Blaze gig in Cardiff Updates in the Judas Priest camp Discovering several new great metal bands Beginning to establish our own power/folk metal band Lows Missing bloodstock 03 due to being...

After being offline for quite a while the official Sonata Arctica website is back up and running but at a different address - http://www.sonataarctica.info The band posted the following message: Finally we got our site back on-line!!! We had problems with our webspace...

I agree totally with Elvenking. They'd make a great darwin suite act and they'll have their new album 'Wyrd' out by then. Taking the other bands into account: Mainstage: Friday Grave Digger Balance of Power White Skull Infobia Saturday (not sure about headliner yet, but i'd love to see COB...

Symphony X! (drools) that would be amazing, i'd love to see them live. I've only heard a bit of Ayreon's music so far but they're really good. One band i'd seriously like to see live though are Rage. I've heard they're totally superb live and outstaged Helloween when they supported them.
