I was also contemplating Dragon Force. Feels more niche, but almost anyone with some inclination for rock music has peobably heard through the fire and flames at some point.
Adore Mastodon, but yeah feels more "niche". Couple of years ago I saw them in a tiny, seedy venue - great show but I'd be surprised to see them as a main headliner for example.
~every LP fan since Meteora lmao
You're right, but its still funny after 20 years
Ah great, another one. How the fuck do these assholes keep performing
Glad i never listened to their stuff
Fair point.
In that sense, what would be the biggest current headliner you can think of? Something every festival goer would lose their mind over on the line up.
I think what im also looking for/wondering about is what the younger generations are getting into the genre over. Like for me that was the numetal wave with SOAD, Linkin Park.. Still huge names and shaped a generation imo.
You're probably right. So still same old same old ^^
Are the younger generations also still on Metallica you think?
Hehe yeah i kept it vague, to capture more of a slice of the mainstream consciousness. Maybe something that regularly shows up on the local "rock" radio.
True about Sleep Token and LS, I've been seeing some billboards out in the wild and Will Ramos is obviously a huge name in the metalcore community still.
Had no clue HLB was such a big one, i really enjoyed them recently after finding them in some mix. Nothing anyone in the wild would recognize though i think.
Wacken was great. Opeth was my fave show i think. Such a smooth talker.
Dusty, and lots of covid in the air though
Also "old" and sadly pretty rapey though. They are huuuge for sure
Thats all good, its a cool shot! Just wanted to give some feedback how it could pop even harder
If you have the raws, maybe pull down the exposure on the first one.
I think it could look more imposing with some more contrast and detail thats a bit washed out currently
Durch die Inversion muss er tatsächlich sich selbst verklagen. Ich mache nicht die Regeln.
Fun to see Papa Roach (and gojira further up) brought up, as they were the two first bands to be announced for next wacken... Aaand a lot of my camp mates went "meh" and "who?"
Thats kinda what kicked this question off for me.
