If You Could Plan A Metal Festival...

[SenorLarry]

What would it be called, and what would the line up be? Here's mine. It has the songs that I think they should play (they should play more than what I have listed, but these are the ones that definitely need to be included). I know, the title sounds like it's limited to thrasher metal, but it's not; "thrash" is just a generic metal term I used for it. It's an epic 3-day long festival, 12 bands, each day with 4 nonstop performances of pure METUHLL! The first 11 performances just build up to the metal gods themselves: 'Tallica!

I'm not an expert on metal, but I can safely say that Metallica would be the ones opening for Iron Maiden or Slayer. and since when does slayer and open for SOAD and disturbed? And BFMV being on there at all is a joke.

[SenorLarry]

Ok... umm... You don't get it. First of all, Metallica is arguably the most famous Metal band ever (and in my opinion the best). Also, I didn't list them in any particular order... It's supposed to be a festival as in playing as equals, no "opening acts". Otherwise it would be a chain of band A opening for band B who opens for band C and... that would just mess everything up. And BMFV is a great band in my opinion and a lot of people like them.

Yeah, a lot of peple like Jona Brothers too, doesn't mean their good. And having Slayer and Iron Maiden play before Slipknot is just an insult. It's going to get wierd when Onslaught comes in here.

The difference is that the Jonas Sisters are a stupid pop band that everyone except 8-13 year old girls hates. BMFV is a legitimate metal band. And let me clarify it... the order isn't perfect because I listed them in the order that they came to my head, in the order that I thought of them in... except Metallica, which was the first one but in my opinion the best so I decided to save them for last.

And the only people that like BFMV are angsty teenagers...

Nooooooooooooo. I just made a 6 day festival worth 60 songs, but I accidentally pressed the back button.

It's missing one thing:

Electric Wizard.

Imagine Sleep and Electric Wizard playing a set together. That would be the sexiest thing the human race could do.

I'm not terribly familiar with most of those bands, but that's still a really interesting way to design the festival, back_blows.

That would definitely kick ass. Now, mix that in with some pot smoke in the ventilation systems...

Edit: Nice fest there, Back Blows, though shouldn't the metal masters be the last day?

[enter the wu-tang]

/facepalm

how are disturbed, drowning pool, slipknot, bullet for my valentine, and system of a down metal?

back_blows, nice list!
