Middling announcement for me tbh.
Was interesting to hear the Anselmo announcement get booed in the arena.

Just grabbed some VIPs for next year.
Out of interest, the site didn't ask me about t-shirt sizes. Are they no longer in the VIP goody bag thing? Or did I miss something in my eagerness?

Really? (I was only there on the Saturday). That's good to hear.

Yeah, when they cycled through the names on the screen you got the usual small-to-large levels of cheers depending on the bands. When it got to Anselmo there was definitely an audible boo (some people cheered too). Was the only band to get a negative reaction.

I'm really pleased to hear that. There's bands I will definitely watch on that announcement and others I'll watch if there is nothing better on at the time. Anselmo on the other hand I guarantee I definitely won't watch. I wouldn't give the nasty racist piece of work the time of day
Television is the opium of the people

Re: BLOODSTOCK 2022 ANNOUNCEMENT
As an old-school thrash guy at heart, this was a great announcement and prompted me to get an early bird ticket for next year already.
Agree that there was a definite boo in the audience at the Anselmo announcement. I don't like Pantera anyway, and that plus his highly questionable reputation means I will be giving his performance as wide a berth as possible. I imagine many others will be doing the same.

Yup, Anselmo is an ass and many others will agree, will still get a full crowd and probably play a good set.

Re: BLOODSTOCK 2022 ANNOUNCEMENT
Heard some rumblings the final headliner may be Limp Bizkit. They are in Europe at the right sort of time, and have a gap on the Friday.

Maybe they are waiting for the UK dates to sell out before announcing.
I see the bad moon arising.

Disappointing lack of Dark Tranquillity, disappointing presence of racist phil.

Re: BLOODSTOCK 2022 ANNOUNCEMENT
Testament: YES
Exodus: YES
Bloodywood: YES great to have them back
GWAR is a bit of a surprise; I didn't know they were still going. Should be a typically fun show though.
Mercyful Fate will be welcome.
I'll give Dimmu a shot. Same with Lamb of God. Neither particularly excite me though.
The rest I'll either actively avoid or embark on a journey of discovery on the day
Exodus: YES
Bloodywood: YES great to have them back

If it sounds good, listen to it

Mate if you're a fan of Exodus and Testament then you've gotta catch Vio-Lence - saw them at the Alcatraz festival in Belgium 2 years ago and they totally killed it. Plus Eternal Nightmare is a classic 80s Bay Area thrash record (as I'm sure you know!)
