So what makes a MDF a headliner???

[deathmetaljohn]

usually from what ive seen the headliners have always been basically legendary bands that have had a big influence on their genre, like suffocation, exhumed, repulsion, cryptopsy or brutal truth these are all bands that have headlined in the past and all are bands that were for the most part bands that have been around for a very long time and bands that have done alot for the genre as a whole. atleast thats what i think

that basically sums it up.

Gut are the god fathers of goregrind!!! If they're not headlining, the 2nd headliner must be freakin huge! Can't wait to hear who it is.

[dr0ne]

Yeah but who draws in more people? The "god fathers of goregrind" or a death metal band that's been around for a decade. Face it, goregrind can only bring in so many people.

[deathmetaljohn]

i dont know how to quote two people at the same time so both of u ..yes gut kills yes tehy are godfathers yes they are legends but were talking about a band that defines a genre a fucking classic killer band thats what makes an mdf headliner

[dr0ne]

Meh, what makes a headliner is what can draw kids in, plain and simple.

sorry homeboy i disagree the guys that run this fest always put the huge suprise where the fuck did that come from bands as the headliners the old heads the classics teh bands that did this shit when we were watching fucking ninja turtles dude come on lol

So who is the death metal band that's been around for 10 years? Seems like after having Cryptopsy, Suffocation they covered two of the best in North America. Deicide is back with some really brutal shit...Morbid Angel supposed to have Vincent back, that would be an awesome headliner....

Brutal Truth? (Grindcore/Death Metal whatever)
Zyklon? 8 years ish is good enough.


All I was saying is that I would imagine they'd throw a huge death metal band to headline over a huge goregrind band, it just makes since when it comes to selling tickets.

[jwv2]

OK, i thought you had some insider info on the 2nd headliner...Brutal Truth rule and are an awesome headliner!!!

[Defleshuary]

I say Bolt Thrower would make a good headliner!

[jwv2]

I'll 2nd BoltThrower...

[ANAL WARFARE]

and ill 3rd Bolt Thrower

if not them, Vader would be a primo choice to fill that slot.

and even though Napalm Death are headling Auditory Assault, you cant go wrong in bringing them back. i saw them and Exodus last night. they are still killing it after all these years

[ncziggy]

How long of a set did napalm and exodus play. This show is going to be near me next tuesday and I didn't want to shell out 20+ bucks plus a tank of gas if they only get to play like 30 minutes since they are fucking opening up for hatebreed. WTF???

Nobody forced them to play that tour, if they're going to play on a hardcore tour they gotta expect to be lower on the bill. Look at Suffocation and the last Sthress tour, dudes opened.

[ANAL WARFARE]

show lineup went like this...

Hatebreed (headliner)
The Black Dildo Murder
Exodus (35 minutes)
Napalm Death (25-30 minutes)
First Blood
Despised Icon

i peaced out after Exodus. Napalm Death played a good enough set. play Scum, Nazi Punks Fuck Off cover, Instruments of Persuasion, Silence Is Deafening, When All Is Said And Done (new one), Shattered Existence (new one), and a few others. nothing off Harmony Corruption unfortunately

[dr0ne]

I'm more psyched to see First Blood honestly, Napalm can be boring live at times. But when that hits here I'm bailing after Napalm and running over to catch DJ Shadow at another venue. Talk about a random ass mixture of music that night.

[ANAL WARFARE]

i walked in during First Blood. i dont do the hardcore thing all that much (generally just The Hope Conspiracy, thats about it). i thought it was Hatebreed opening. just lots of senseless breakdowns. i stood against the wall and did all my shirt shopping during them. Napalm hit and tore it up. im pretty against jumping in pits but they did Instruments of Persuasion, i got a woody and jumped in. ate an elbow sandwich and lost part of my tooth. worked all day in pain. thats what i get, i guess. but i cleaned the floor of the hardcore faggots. its always good to know you still got it

[jwv2]

Napalm Death definately kill and are headliners for me at any show they play. They beat the shit outta Deicide 2 years ago when they opened for them.
