[Bobbyjames]

Faith No More & LImp Bizkit are rumoured for Download now as well, qhihc will make me a happy bunny!

[Hentaiman]

^

Faith No More? Those guys broke up back in 1998, even though a reunion would be awesome haha, but Mike Patton said they probably won't reunite. And yeah, it was a long time since I heard something about Limp Bizkit, I thought they all died in 2006... Anyway, they have like only one good song ...

[Bobbyjames]

apparently (to one of the festival organisers) all the members of Faith No More have said they would like to do some shows again, its just up to their agents and management to try sort something out. no-one knows if they will actually do anything any time son though.

as for Limp Bizkit, ive read that Wes Borland will be back again for a tour this year, playing all their classics. would love to see the classics live, bring me back to my childhood, haha.

KEEP ROLLIN ROLLIN ROLLIN WHAT!

[Hentaiman]

Haha, if Wes Borland will be back, it'll be so fucked up. He left like in 2002, then got back in 2004, left in 2006 and now back again? haha. They haven't released an album for a while now.

About the Faith No More thing, it'll be really cool if they really talked about reuniting, but I doubt it will happen. Plus, Mike Patton is probably busy with the million bands he's in.

[Bobbyjames]

yea, expecially last time Wes left, he was chatting loads of shit about Fred Durst all over the media, saying he was a complete tool and a bellend!

and Faith No More, if they can't get any other decent sized, well pid gigs through out Europe during the summer then they won't do it. personally, i can't see it hapening, Download will fail again and have Nickelback, Fall Out Boy and Rolf Harris headlinign or some shit like that

[Hentaiman]

^

Yeah, I have a feeling Fall Out Boy will be headlining this or lots of other summer festivals this year since they are promoting their new album and all... that sucks.
Hell, at least they are better than Panic at the disco... I think ><

[Bobbyjames]

i wouldnt mind so much if Fall Out Boy did play, i just hope they don't headline, especially at Download. but over the past couple of years they have had some weak headliners (MCR & Lostprophets)

[Hentaiman]

^

Lostprophets are awesome :O
Sum 41 should headline all the cool festivals this summer when they will promote the new album

[Bobbyjames]

Lostprophets aren't big enough to headline a festival though, especially when they don't appeal to the majority of the Download audience

[Emil]

What about Leeds and Reading?
