Saxon for Donnington?

[CONQUISTADOR]

If the rumours are true and the mighty Maiden ressurect Donnington this year, I pray that Saxon are on the Bill!
Maybe with Motorhead, Halford and Sabbath to give a Brittish Metal lineup.

 

[Eagle]

It would be awesome! But I can't see it happening, I've heard rumours that Maiden will be touring next year with Sum41

Hopefully though Saxon will headline the British Metal Night at Bloodstock03!

 

[CONQUISTADOR]

Yeh I agree Eagle, it would be awsome though, a fantasy line up for myself. If Maiden do do Donnington it must at least include Saxon in the line-up and not Sum41, but money talks and the latter are probably a bigger draw. Bastard. Oh well I'll doubtless be a Donnington and Bloodstalk and have a fucking great time anyway!

 

[dragonmaiden]

If this were true it would be awesome...however, I , like Eagle have heard the ugly rumours regarding Sum 41.

 

[CONQUISTADOR]

Its hard to imagine a Sum fan being into Saxon or vice-versa, but theres probably one somewhere. Would you own up though?, I wouldn't.

i heard on the grape vine that olive oil and doppy dawson will be signing autographs in the gents bogs at donnington so we could all go along get one then at least we would have something to wipe our arses on afterwards.

 

[CONQUISTADOR]

As long as thats all they'r doing in the bogs!

I'm a Saxon Fan and I'm going to see Sum 41 as well.
Not a bad band. Much prefer them to most of these Euro Metal bands that just sound like Europe on Speed.

 

[dragonmaiden]

Lagoon.....I am not going to even respond to that.. you didn't even mention 'cheese'!!!

 

[Black Lagoon]

Love the Europe on Speed bit that your listening to Dragonmaiden!

according to www.metalhammer.co.uk, industrial insiders have predicted that Slipknot will be Maiden's main support at Donnington at the end of may. i have to say that i would prefer someone like Saxon, Priest or Halford supporting (or all 3)

 

[Eagle]

Wouldn’t surprise me at all! Maiden are now just out to get all they can and sadly bands like Slipknott, Limp Biscuit and Sum51 draw more crowds because they're so kewl cos they're on the kerrang channel. I just hope that's there adequate skateboard parking at Castle Donnington.

I'm not a Slipknot fan, but I wouldn't mind seeing them, just if its for the experiance, and it would be good to see Maiden make them look shite as well!

 

[Paxoman]

I wouldn't say I'm a big Sum41 fan, but I do quite like them. They are big Iron Maiden fans and do a couple of Iron Maiden covers live as well. So I wouldn't be at all surprised if Maiden do tour with Sum41. And what better way for Iron Maiden to cash in eh?

 

[CONQUISTADOR]

Listening to Dickinsons rockshow on saturday, hints were again dropped about a two day UK festival, with Maiden headlining sat 31st May and Metallica on the Sunday. This will leave room for about five or six bands each day and while I agree with all the comments about commercial decisions dictating the line-up, I still hope that there is room for Saxon and a few other old-school favourites too.

 

[Paxoman]

Metallica are playing Reading/Leeds in August, so i'd be surprised if they played over here in May as well.

 

[CONQUISTADOR]

They are greedy Bastards though!

 

[Paxoman]

Well that's true enough! And besides, it's been so long since they played over here they owe us a few shows!
