good band, but what is that about?

When i read your post all i could do is think of Jerry Sinfield... What is the deal with--- KILLSWITCH ENGAGE---- headlining the metal fest?

People dont know how to put bands in a line up, look where Soilent Green is and all the other good bands are.... not headlining

I'm just confused by that... I mean kse's new cd is pretty decent...
but why would they be a headlining act?

my points exactly

it's a more "mainstream" show this year

it kind of defeats the purpose, (mainstream) i mean.... people should go to ozzfest if they want to see mainstream...

Who do you think should headline? Killswitch is local and will hold the crowd's attention the best out of everyone playing today...

not them... no offence, but what's it going to be next year? unearth?
headlining mainstage I think of metal/hardcore mega stars..
cradle of filth, cannibal corpse, sfu, etc...
not a "local heros" band...
I mean dimmu borgir didn't headline neither did overcast's reunion...

But looking at this lineup, who is going to headline? Arch Enemy? Superjoint Ritual headlined one of the days last year and they aren't exactly big...

The fact is, Killswitch Engage isn't the same Killswitch Engage they were two, three years ago. They are a legit headlining act (co-headlining with In Flames now). They are in a freaking Pop Tarts commercial for crying out loud.

I know what you are saying. It feels weird. But I guess we'll just have to see how it goes...

I'm pretty sure being MA locals has something to do with that.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!

Arch Enemy could hold everyones attention just fine I think. I saw them before I ever heard them on cd and they bored the hell out of everyone but the 20 kids in front who were singing along. Arch Enemy probably has more fans and would be more appropriate.

arch enemy is gay now.

How so spoo?

because they were better like... two albums ago?
