There are plenty of other festivals to go to if you want your face shred off constantly by only extreme metal, so I don't see the point.

Yeah I'd rather go to Inferno Fest, but can I ever afford a trip to Norway? Doubtful.

My do metalheads feel so threatened by newer styles? How is a few metalcore bands playing at a festival going to 'ruin' it? Do you really expect to go to a festival that size and enjoy every band on the bill?

Fucking get a grip.

It's a slippery slope. You let a couple in one year, and you've set a standard that will continue to be pushed until the festival is awash in utter shit.
 
Some real fucking elitist bastards in here. Crying because a metal genre you don't like is in a metal festival. Especially hilarious are the ones of you complaining about and that aren't even going to Wacken in the first place.
Face it, a lot of metalheads like metalcore and there's not fucking reasong in the world why the Wacken organizers should ban metalcore from its premises. And not, it not being kvlt enough for your own tastes is not a good reason. Wacken is an all metal festival and I thing it's great that they bring bands from many different subgenres. If you don't, look at it like this, there are still dozens of other bands playing, way mroe than you can possibly listen to in one festival, and if you complain about the people that come to see the metalcore acts, well, there are tens of thousands of people who come for different reasons. Surely you could avoid the ones you don't want to be with and hang around with others or whatever.
And for the record, I do dislike metalcore. I also dislike many other subgenres. I just don't go around saying they're not metal and signing petitions for them not to be in certain festivals, especially if I'm not going there in the first place.

uh...sorry to noob this up but whats metalcore? is it bands like a7x?

im not keen on them but in such a big festival (which i wish i could go to...) im sure you will be able to avoid them =]
 
0MFG SHITTY METALCORE BANDS!!1!11111 I NOT GOING 2 WACKIN NOW!!!!11!111

Anyway, I'm not going all the way to Germany just to go to Wacken, so I really don't give a shit, and not all metalcore is god awful. There's some pretty solid bands out there like Unearth and even Shadows Fall. Oh, and A7X isn't metalcore. If anything, they're a bunch of shitty Guns & Roses wannabes that boaderline metal. Yes, they are metal, they're just a very shitty metal band.
 
It's not surprising to see how many people dislike metalcore on this board, when the only bands they know are obvious ones like KSE, Shadows Fall, Unearth, and so on.
Dismissing the whole genre as shitty because of those few bands is pretty ridiculous imo.
 
SO they're letting some crappy band who isn't true metal play at this festival. And they actually use SLAYER as their example of a real metal band? Has anyone heard the shit they've been putting out recently? I can't believe Marshall gave Kerry King a sig amp, his tone fucking sucks.

So, on that note - since Slayer have been a nu-metal band for a while, who cares if they let a gay metalcore band play at wacken? If the people starting this petition think Slayer are true metal they clearly have no idea what's going on so I'm not signing it. I'd rather sign a cheque for £12 to pay for a Korn album. It's gotta be heavier than recent Slayer.

Fuck Slayer. Fuck metalcore. Fuck this petition. Only MY definition of true metal counts, everyone else is a big poof.
