Who of the following should appear?

[cyberfella]

We gotta have a good portion of Death metal ...........and children of bodom.

O, and eagle, ur dead rite about the 'nu' and 'punk'

 

[Eagle]

Info on Stefan Elmgren's Full Strike can be found here: http://www.fullstrike.net/
They're in a similar vain to Hammerfall and Stratovarius.

Valley's Eve are another top Power Metal Band who (To the best have my knowledge) have not played in the UK before. They should be able to cut it live as they've supported bands of the calibre of Nightwish and Rage.

ive only heard a couple of tracks by paradise lost an they seem pretty good, wouldnt mind seeing them live, may even invest in some albums if they impress

 

[Black Lagoon]

Would be very happy with
Magnum,
Paradise Lost
and Paul Di'anno.

Check out Marshan Vince. A great british stoner band.

 

[TheDarkProject]

People criticising Paradise Lost should probably hear the new album first, which is very guitar-led and significantly heavier than most of Diamond Head's set was this year! I think they'd make a great band for Bloodstock, and since they supported Soil in London recently I doubt they'd be too picky about where they appeared on the bill.

Apart from that, Dragonforce and Shadow Keep sound good to me.

 

[William]

Well paradise lost are my favourites in there, Btw i checked out lost horizon-great stuff!

Powerquest:

Definately suitable, but I still haven't checked out their CD - Steve (keys) and Steve(bass) will not be pleased I guess I'm a little burned out on bands of this style.

Dragonforce:

Again suitable, but maybe too close in style to Powerquest - and they share a guitarist too Would be a good idea to have one of PowerQuest and DragonForce and to tell the guitarist to keep his fly buttoned up

Shadow Keep (played B01):

I think that their 2nd disk is great and they deserve more attention. Haven't heard about a new singer - guess I chould check their site.

Angelwitch
Witchfynde
Tygers of Pan Tang
Demon
Paul Di'Anno

Well many of the German Festivals have a 'retro spot' for some classic old band or reunion. Wasn't a huge fan of any of these when they were big(ish) in the 80's personally, but they will broing some fans along.

Magnum
Bob Catley - solo

never my thing either - but a good fanbase and they would provide a bit of light relief. I'm a firm beleiver in mixing styles at an event like this. All day Power Metal would drive me (a big Power metal fan) round the bend.

Paradise Lost

Great band. Even on their latest album they are perhaps too Goth and not Metal enough, but I like em and I'd definately watch 'em if they played.

I sincerly hope that you are also getting lots of people suggesting Anathema and My Dying Bride. Both bands rock and would provide some contrast on the bill.

Charlie
Similarly - anyone any objections to the likes of Kick, Lukan, Lost Weekend .................

 

[Cruel Humanity]

Paradise Lost, Hypocrisy & or Pain (2 birds 1 stone) Therion, Agathodaimon, Cruel Humanity

 

[Bambam]

None really grab me by the short-and-curlies and make me go "Yeh! Gotta get them!",but if you're thinking of getting My Dying Bride then NOW YOU'RE TALKING!

 

[The_Minstrel]

If Iced Earth are going to be there then everything else is a bonus!

 

[Eagle]

Went to see Tygers Of Pan Tang on Saturday! They are definitely worthy contenders for the Friday British Metal Night

 

[dragonmaiden]

Have to agree with Eagle here......they were excellent!
