Now that there's only 289 days to go I think we should end our quibbling and set aside our differences (Just for a little while) and all put down our 'UNBIASSED' Dream Line Ups.
I've even included some bands I don't like (So I can browse the metal market). I've also only included 2 bands that have played at Bloodstock events before! (I've actually thought about this!!)
Here Goes:
Friday Night (BRITISH METAL NIGHT)
SAXON (Headline) - 100% Metal and with the Eagle set up
BLAZE - Always gives his all and has a significant base of loyal supporters
DRAGONFORCE - Should finally have their album out and it would be nice to see them on a big stage
SEVEN DEADLY SINS - Steve Grimmet's Band, Deserve to be playing at this level and also would be bonus to hear some Grim Reaper/Onslaught classics too
MAIN HALL
ICED EARTH (Headline) - Top quality, cater for traditional, death and power metal fans, should have new album out and be nice to have a yank band headline the bill.
HAMMERFALL - Seem to forgot us on the current tour so they owe us one, also excellent live band
CHILDREN OF BODOM - Would bring a vast amount of fans to see them debut in the UK and it would be awesome to get a more extreme band in the main hall
KAMELOT - Bloodstock should always have a prog style band on the mainstage and who better then the mighty Kamelot
DEMONS AND WIZARDS - Get Hansi back from last year and let's see this amazing side project in the UK
SINERGY - We need a female fronted metal band on the bill and these are currently the elite
POWERQUEST - The future of British Power Metal, new album out, an absolute necessity for 03
DARWIN SUIT
ANNIHILATOR (Headline)- Thrash at it's best, need I say more?
PAUL DIANNO/KILLERS/BATTLEZONE - One of the godfathers of metal and he will be worth seeing for the Maiden Classics alone
PARADISE LOST - Still appear to have a reasonable following in the UK
NAPALM DEATH - Classic British Grindcore who I'm surprised have not already played at a bloodstock event
WHITE SKULL - Outstanding Italian Metal
WAYLANDER - Already confirmed and will please fans of Return To Sabbat and Elvenking
RIFF MASTER GENERAL - Classic British Metal and would please the majority of traditional fans
Lets all put out reality (No Metallica, Maiden, Motorhead, Priest Line Ups) Dream Line Ups on and see what we come up with.
