Interesting....I thought they might headline

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Oh fuck. The hessians have taken over if that's true. That audience will be more disgusting than a Limp Bizkit crowd.

Only if AJ believes in liberty and justice for all.

bjw1 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

so it's Metallica, Linkin Park & Blink-182?

this is plausible, I remember reading a twitter conversation between AJ & an angry metal head about Blink-182 'headlining'. AJ said something along the lines of "never you mind, I think you'll be at another stage watching something far heavier"

snapcrackleROCK

snapcrackleROCK said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Blink + Link + Offspring = the budget, dontcha think?

I doubt he'd have enough let over to afford a bigger (and good) band??

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Maybe Fear Factory will play against Blink? They are the heaviest band I've ever seen.

Totes fake - everyone knows Chumbawumba just broke up - they're not due for a reunion tour for another 5 years.

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

I can back up Greggy on his Linkin Park claim.

RAMONESelaar

RAMONESelaar said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Everyone claimed Linkin Park would be playing Soundwave.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

if someone else overlooks the trollface underneath that sequence of posts they're getting the fucking skull caved in.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

it wasn't a claim, it was the passing of factual information.

RAMONESelaar

RAMONESelaar said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Factual information without any source. Totally legit.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

i have a source, i just don't need to tell you that.

BC knows my source :D

RAMONESelaar

RAMONESelaar said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Oh, well that totally answers all of my doubts. I don't know why I ever questioned you in the first place

Dang! Was just about to post a pic of Comic Book Guy after that post by Ramone.

berlinchair101

berlinchair101 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

My question is why people are getting their panties in a twist at Gregg for saying he was told who was headlining?

RAMONESelaar

RAMONESelaar said on the 7th Aug, 2012

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Aug, 2012

The fact that he's boasting about it and acting like some kind of industry insider is pretty c[size=2]unty.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

if you would have asked me i would have told you. i don't know what the rules are about posting shit like that. all BC and Jose had to do was ask me in private and i told them both straight away.

yeah but i told chair and laks on sunday when i first said it.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

also i am c[size=2]unty. that was never up for discussion.

MorningAfterboy

MorningAfterboy said on the 7th Aug, 2012

The fact you posted the whole "na-na-na-na-na, I know and you don't" thing in the first place was an uncharacteristic dick move.

Everybody did ask you. YET YOU DIDN'T TELL.

I deleted the second half of your message. Makes it easier for me to criticise you.

Dude I don't check your Facebook every day!

Amazing. Simply amazing.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

i knew i should have tagged, but i didn't want to make it awkward in case there was some bitterness, but he said he met you at splendour or whatever, and i said yeah tom is the king of snark.

grattan

grattan said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Nah, I've never met him so if he says I told him I'd be touring "early next year" it's not true.

Stefan Beck

Stefan Beck said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Nui actually met me.

I claim to be Grattan at music festivals to get poontang.

oldgregg

oldgregg said on the 7th Aug, 2012

oh he said he met the editor of fasterlouder backstage at splendour and that he was very nice. did sarah get a haircut?

This will not work for you.

I think he might have met Tim (Sound Alliance's Editorial Director) guess he mixed us up.

60% of the time it works every time.

Followed by: Place Your Bets: Most Likely FB Comments On In Defense Of: An Open Letter To Nui Te Koha

Followed by: AJ Maddah: Has lunch, claims it was "tasty"

Next month of FL features sorted.

shazie said on the 7th Aug, 2012

So if the linkin park thing holds true, despite countless people hating them, you must've noticed some posts on FL about people liking their live show? I don't think they're a universally hated band on here, just mostly.

Anyways, if true I'm ready for my cunt punch Jose.

I don't think Linkin Park will be below Blink-182.

And PiL ruled out. No Killing Joke or PiL, no fucks given by Oflick.

I definitely think that Blink will be above Linkin.

Blink are considerately bigger IMO.

Oflick

Oflick said on the 7th Aug, 2012

And Linkin Park are considerably bigger in reality.

ss249

ss249 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

some earth crisis would be rad..also the sex pistols,but thats pretty doubtful in my mind.

jacegalvin

jacegalvin said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Woah, just looked at Linkin Park on wiki, no idea they had that many sales.

Okay, Linkin Park could possibly be above Blink, but I still reckon Blink are bigger.

Oflick

Oflick said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Blink's advantage would be their reunion hype. Linkin Park would still play above them I'd bet, though.

tyler07

tyler07 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Objectively speaking, Blink-182 are obviously a huge draw card but that combination of headliners I can't see being any more popular than recent years...

How cut are the hessians going to be tomorrow? Answer: pretty goddamn cut. Should be hilarious.

01seb

01seb said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Still thinking there is a headliner bigger than Linkin and Blink. AJ is saying he doesn't think he'll ever have a lineup this big again.

andy_chalmers_102

andy_chalmers_102 said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Blink are probably a bigger drawcard due to the length of their absence, but Linkin Park's album sales figures are much more impressive. In reality they'll probably pull a similar amount of punters. We're really just splitting turds here.

grattan

grattan said on the 7th Aug, 2012

Not lie. That's really what Hot Damn! says.

Meanwhile according to one of FL's twitter followers While She Sleeps' drummer has texted her to say they're playing. So err... lock that in?

Oflick

Oflick said on the 7th Aug, 2012

It's not Thursday. Hot Damn! is irrelevant. Too expensive. Unisex toilets. Additional shit about Hot Damn!

They were rumoured for BDO, so maybe. Then again, maybe the tweet was just saying that A Perfect Circle were announced?

Yeah I considered that as well, could be.

Linkin Park has always been bigger. The average person may know more songs by Blink-182, but Linkin Park are more successful overall.

Linkin Park are huge in Laos.

We can finally rule out Falling in Reverse - no way he's getting a Visa now.

Falling in Reverse singer Ronnie Radke is back in trouble, as he was arrested Monday morning (Aug. 6) in Glendale, Calif., on an outstanding warrant for domestic assault.

The Glendale News Press reports that the warrant was issued after Radke’s girlfriend had told the Glendale police that Radke physically assaulted her at their home on May 1.

The singer was arrested without incident at his home and later released on $30,000 bond. He was charged with a misdemeanor account of corporal injury to his girlfriend and misdemeanor false imprisonment, according to the Los Angeles County Superior Court complaint.
