Perform - Machine Head pull out of Sonisphere... Machine Head pull out of Sonisphere...


Machine Head pull out of Sonisphere...

So Machine Head have pulled out of Sonisphere... reason being that they weren't happy that LIMP BIZKIT were on higher than them on the lineup...

Sonisphere tried to get Machine Head to stay on by saying more money and longer time slot but to no avail (This was mentioned by Sonisphere last night)

So my take is... Sonisphere may have made a mistake by letting Limp Bizkit go so high up on a 'comeback tour' (even if they did well at download...)

Yet Machine Head aren't THAT big in the UK (even on metal terms and have ONE sucessful album that they've toured what seems to be a million times in 2/3 years) so surely for the fans' sake they could have played...

i'd like to hear other people's thoughts here...

Seems a bit cry baby-ish to me, but I must admit I would hate to be in the same city as Limp Bizkit, let alone the same bill, let alone below them.

But yeah, bands need to think about their fans more sometimes.

Machine Head are legends and have been around forever. Anyone that is in to metal at all loves themselves a bit of Machine Head, I don't blame them to be honest I would always put Machine Head above Limp Biskit on a bill so I would say Machine Head were being pretty fair.

Yeh seems a little stupid. Throwing their toys out i guess, Limp Bizkit may not be to everyones taste but they do make some cool music. Plus if everyone was like that then i'm sure alot of the bands playin at Glasto last year would have had something to say about Jay-z headlining.

I'm not going to lie i do like some of their tunes. Being openly honest here. Some of their sounds are brilliant, wez borland created some cool sounds.

My teen years were limp bizkit, korn, linkin park, slipknot so yer, hands down i admit it, take it as you will.

See I can get down to songs by a bunch of those bands and I appreciate some of their music but there is a pecking order in music and Limp Bizkit and Korn et al but if we're talking about Machine Head and Limp Bizkit there is no comparison, different level of band in terms of art and music as an artform. It would be like putting a show like Heroes on before playing Eastenders it just doesn't make sense. Both can be fun but one is much more artful than the other.

That is all.

Nu-Metal has little connection with art, so it would have to be at the bottom of that particular pile.

The grown men in those bands are only interested in getting their dick sucked back stage by 16 year old girls. Way too much testosterone in that genre.
