i like that lineup with system of a down headlining. its even realistic too. i think you guys are going too far with mayhem turning into gayhem with the radio rock/metal. yes they did get "gayer" for 2010 but from 2008-2009 they got heavier so there is no real pattern of progression from heavy to soft. if they go soft again this year then you can start calling it "gayhem"
i think it will get softer every year just about. i mean its simple math, lamer bands = more money. everyone already know this but like everyone else im hoping for a heavier 2009 like lineup...
i get it about the money thing, maybe im being optimistic but maybe lyman isnt that greedy where he needs every festival tou he runs to turn a gigantic profit. warped especially make a ton of money every year. also getting a little smaller bands for mayhem means paying them a little less
yeah but its not just about greed...in this economy people arent going to concerts as much so they need as many people as they can to go to even attemp a profit... sux but true. alec had articles about before...
well that can be fixed by lower ticket prices. lower the price more people will come. and as a result youll sell more concessions, which im sure the festival gets a cut of the sales
like last year we had a group of 4 go. got the 4 pack of lawn tickets for like $96 so thats 24 each. plus we made the 5 hour trip to pittsbugh got a nice hotel room for 2 nights for like 240 so thats 60 per person plus we split gas and stuff. so 100 bucks for a weekend and all afternoon/night concert festival is not bad. even for a poor college student
well lawn seats have always been that cheap, but you have to buy them in the four packs.... ive paid the same amount for lawn tix every year except last years was a little cheaper cuz ticketmaster was having a fee free month

Answer me that
Simple as that. People seem to forget that music is a business.
that's scary cause i think that could actually happen
