There are only 2 things remotely worth addressing.

Well looking at the lineup so far, I don't think you really have much room to bitch. They're pretty much all bands I know people here love. So what if they have bands you don't like, they're going to have bands EVERYONE doesn't like. The fest isn't put together to make one person happy, it's put together to make a lot of different groups happy, and I think they do the best they can.

When did I say they had to have only bands I like? It's a matter of balance. In recent years, I haven't gone because they have had ZERO bands I wanted to see, or maybe 3-4... From my point of view it's a huge shame that we DO have this "blessing" of a fest in our backyard and it goes to waste with such shitty lineups. I am not asking to like every band on the fest, I am asking for maybe 10 bands (out of the 80-100 on the fest) that I wanna see... Is that really too much to ask if they want $50-60 for a 3 day pass?

As for me not having room to bitch this year, we'll see. As it stands, all I HAVE to see is KING DIAMOND... Mild interest in seeing HYPOCRISY and BEHEMOTH again. I'm withholding judgement till the full lineup is out but you shouldn't assume that everyone is thrilled to see the same shitty bands you are psyched for.

I've got an idea. Since you guys can obviously do a better job putting on a fest then the people with NEMHF, why don't you do one? You can fly in every band you want to and book all the TROO metal bands and absolutely no metalcore. Metalcore bad, troo metal, GOOD! You can have bands drive in from all over the place and pay them extra for going out of their way to do it so you don't have to book any tours. Just let me know how it works out.

Some of us are trying to move in this direction but it's not so easy when you don't work for Massconcerts and have a venue like the Palladium at your disposal. In the meantime, I can only hope the NEMHCF team does MUCH better than they have for the past few years - this being a local Metal and Hardcore forum, I feel it's a pretty damn appropriate place to express this. If you don't care about reading such opinions, maybe you shouldn't keep reading this thread. If you can't deal with different opinions from your own, maybe you should start your own board and ban everyone who doesn't agree with you.
