Serious contenders for 04.

[wolfhoff]

Im going to say Primal Fear , Doro , UDO , Savatage , Seven Witches , Kamelot , Hammefall , Annihilator , Brainstorm , Bonfire , Grave Digger , Krokus , Rebellion , Dream Evil , Reptillian , Rhapsody , Gamma Ray , Blind Guardian and from the UK ?...... this is where it gets difficult !. How about Thunder , Magnum , Demon , Shadowkeep , Judas Priest (not as far-fetched as you think!) , Motorhead , Girlschool and Intense.
I have noticed that Bloodstock has not had anyone from the US so how about bringing over God..... no I mean Dio !

I've mentioned my support for Dio on several other threads. I still think Judas Priest would be too big for the Derby assembly rooms. All the others you've mentioned I would agree are serious contenders. Also don't rule out the likes of: Edenbridge, Iced Earth, White Skull, Human Fortress, Children Of Bodom, Sinergy, Metalium & Symphony X.

From the UK Intense should be on the bill and I'd also love to see Mercury Rain and Power Quest return along with Infobia. I'm not sure about Thunder. Motorhead would be a good friday headliner but I don't think they'd do it. Girlschool would also be good but they've probably not helped themselves by supporting MM Saxon (Same could be said for Tygers). A classic brit band I would like to see get a shot is Blitzkrieg. Also get Riff Master General.

Blitzkrieg and Riff Master General would be great bands for Bloodstock.

Riff Master General... never heard the name but I am definately going to check them out for it!
I fully support Iced Earth, even though the vocals are now lame, I'll just bring some samples of matt barlow and play them over the live show! Kamelot would also be great on the lineup, been wanting to see them live for ages. AND I can't stress it enough... ANGRA ANGRA ANGRA!

Riffmaster General are just good no thrills old school metal who I think would be great entertainment.

I also totally agree with you now about Iced Earth now that they have Timothy Owens on board but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt - for now!

Angra are indeed the 2nd best band from Brazil. Just slightly behind Dark Avenger.

I agree with Joe5now.....let's drown Owens out with some Matt Barlow samples!!! I can't stand him!!

Karma f**king killer cheese homo vocal metal.

Exellent.

I'm bit dissapointed with Epica though.

 

[sean-intense]

Thanks for the mentions guys...Vince has a promo of our new album Second Sight in his hands as we speak...so.....we'll have to wait and see.....

 

[Jonoleth]

Hey joe, youknow your stuff, angra do indeed need to be present at blooder 04 and ive heard the new iced earth stuff with tim owens and frankly, hes wank, the music is great but his vocals (not that theyre awful) can hop to live up to matt barlows... still, id love to see them live... bring it on.. oh and by the way, intense would be cool too, ive only heard the stuff off the website but i was a fan...

 

[sean-intense]

Hey Jonoleth,glad you like our stuff...wait till you hear the new stuff with decent production. It's getting some airplay on Total Rock with Lizard on a Friday 9-12 and with Zed too 12-3. Label talks are happening as i type and once sorted the promotion for SECOND SIGHT will begin big time. WE plan to put some mp3's of the new stuff on our new site when it's launched in a week or 2 ...keep em peeled...

 

[Eddie The Great]

I saw Riff Master General when they opened for Kreator last year. They were solid, but nothing special.

 

[DogVomit]

Manowar.

Savatage would be amazing, their gig at Wacken last year was the highlight for me.

Well it looks like things are moving with ManOwaR anyway

They are?!!?!!?

 

[Heavy Metal Samurai]

They are?!!?!!?

Apparently so, I read somewhere that Vince gave the go-ahead to get in touch with the band to see what they said.

Tickets will sell fast if ManOwaR are confirmed.

Dunno though, still can't see them playing (Sorry, Killing) for 2000 people.

 

[DogVomit]

You can't see them playing for 2000 people? Why not mate? They average audiences that size over europe, maybe a bit bigger...

 

[The G man]

How about SKYCLAD FOR 04?.
Believe it or not I've never heared manowar!. Would anyone be kind enought to tell me alittle about the band & music. I see they get mentioned a lot on this message board, I saw loads of there shirts at bloodstock so you all seem to like 'em.
