Got a text message the other day from someone "in the know" who had spoke to some "bloke in a pub" and he said he had heard the names Children of Bodom , Sonata Artica and Gamma Ray mentioned ! .
Guess the line-up for 04 time again....

Actually I would have guessed at two of those ...Sonata Arctica and Gamma Ray! I thought CoB were too expensive!?
sonata arctica would be cool as would CoB , what about getting some heavyer stuff over like amon Amarth or hypocrisy or even the dear old Entombed boys?
yeh vince said CoB were too expensive but id be very happy to see gamma ray come over again, i missed BS 02 and Gamma Ray are one of my fave bands so that would be amazing... sonata would be good too... this year is shaping up to be rather good if those are true... and of course theres the likelyhood of hammerfall which is also immense...

I like the sound of those rumours mate!!
Everyone has probably guessed by now how much I love Sonata Arctica and for Gamma Ray to come over aswell would be pretty sweet.
CoB....well, I'd love to see 'em as I missed them when they played Sheffield but it has been said that they don't come cheap and I would be surprised (but bloody happy) to see them at BS04.

Gamma Ray should headline. Maybe Sinner will also get a slot now with Primal Fear being confirmed. I think Sonata Arctica are the people's choice this year and will hopefully be selected.
For a heavier band I'd love to see Bodom or In Flames again. But I think that is highly unlikely.

... or Borknagar! Sheesh... how many times do I have to mention it before Vince takes any notice?FOURWAYKILL said:
Anyway, going completely out on a limb, my guess for 2004 lineup:Friday:
Children Of Bodom
Sinner
Warlord
Invey
Saturday main stage:
Grave Digger
Hammerfall
Magnum
Edenbridge
Primal Fear
Balance Of Powert
Cruachan
Tyla
Saturday second stage:
Fourway Kill
Poison Black
Reign Of Erebus
Viking Skull
Lionsheart
???
Essentially, I don't really have much of a clue for bands to play the second stage. I haven't seen many small bands recently that would be suitable. I've included Reign Of Erebus to appeal to the extreme metal crowd, even though I thought they were crap! Poison Black put on a decent show supporting Lacuna Coil, and Viking Skull are good for a laugh. The newly reformed Lionsheart *have* to be worth a punt. Steve Grimmet's an awesome frontman, as evidenced by his performance in Seven Deadly Sins (for those lucky enough to see them).

Seven Deadly Sins were awesome. If only they'd been promoted better. I saw them support Deeds (Dirty Deeds) a year or so ago and there was only 3 of us who bothered to watch them. I'm so glad that I did get there early to see them. I wonder what Lionsheart will be like now? Maybe Grim Reaper or Onslaugt would go down well too. Fuck it - lets just get Steve solo then he can play stuff from all his previous bands.
i saw cob at sheffield was a great show but i think they might be a bit expensive for bloodstock, Gamma Ray, Hammerfall, Sentenced And Sonata Arctica all get my vote although i have a suspicion Finntroll will make an apperance this year

Ha! Beat you... there were 4 of us watching them at the Underworld! As I've mentioned elsewhere, it's the only gig I've seen where the band (5 of them) outnumbered the audience. I agree, though. Steve in pretty much any form would be great. My only disappointment from the Seven Deadly Sins gig was that they played Lionsheart and Grim Reaper material, but nothing from Onslaught (where he did probably his best work -- "Welcome to dying" is a masterpiece). But Lionsheart have just released a new album, and they'd be perfect for Bloodstock.Eagle said:

Tet: I'll back Borknagar all the way, excelent band. Reign of Erbus too, they were in support of Aborym. And of corse Bodom
Thyrfing would kick ass too.
I'd still like to see Aborym, Napalm Death or My Dying Bride (MDB are playing, maybe Headlining Inferno this year)

Well looks like the suspense will be over soon! Vince should find out who the headliners will be tomorrow.....and we should know pretty soon after!

Yep, although they'd really have to be on the main stage now, which I can't see happening. To have them lower on the bill than FWK would be a bit of an insult, I think...Baletempest said:

Here's my wild stab in the dark estimate for the line up:
Friday:
Hammerfall (headline)
Sinner
Balance Of Power
Infobia
Rhapsody (headline)
Magnum
Primal Fear
Sonata Arctica
Edenbridge
Cruachan
Intense
I'm not clued up on many unsigned bands for the second stage so maybe:
Snakes Eyes & Riff Master General (are these bands unsigned?) along with Invey to support Fourwaykill

That would be a no, then. After Vortex left, they recruited Vintersorg to replace him, and recorded the masterpiece that is "Empiricism". The next album is due in April, and it's probably the CD I'm most anticipating for 2004 (or maybe the new Judas Priest).Noj said:

I'm now praying to the good lord in the sky that Wolfhoff's mate of the mate in the pub that texted him was right and that Gamma Ray are the friday night headliners!
