your dream festival

Don Fernando · 11-26-2008, 05:22 AM

so, imagine, you get to organize a festival and you can handpick 10 bands/artists to play at this festival, which bands/artists will you pick, what is the line-up and in which order will they play?

The restriction: the artist have to be alive, so no Elvis or Kurt Cobain and the bands have to still existing, so no The Police or Franky goes to Hollywood.

Puddle of Mudd
Nickelback
Carlos Santana
Motorhead
Metalilca
Chris Cornell
Rage Aganst the Machine
The White Stripes
Foo Fighters
Rolling Stones

There are lots of other bands I like, some even more than these bands, but I have seen them multiple times. The only bands I listed that I have seen more than once are Chris Cornell (3 times) and The Stones (every tour since '78).

Great idea for a thread!

Personally for a festival I would want it to start out strong but mellow and then build into an all out ROCK spectacle!

I'd book:
A Perfect Circle - nobody can get a show started like Maynard

Danzig - All hail

Foo Fighters - absolutely amazing live performance

Black Label Society - nobody shreds like Zakk Wylde

Godsmack - Great live set, very energetic

Superjoint Ritual - Brutal metal from Phil Anselmo

Rob Zombie - Monsters, Strippers and Metal... oh my!

Hatebreed - The most BRUTAL pit I've ever been in

Metallica - What else needs to be said?

Amon Amarth - One of the absolute best bands live EVER! Viking Metal!!

I have seen them both from the front of the mosh pit, Ferdinand, Cornell with Audioslave at the time. Also saw Chris is a small club as well. Great stuff.

Also missed Godsmack, I had them on my mind and somehow skipped them on my list.
