hey, you gotta write something. I'll give the article a shot.

The lineup for this year's Rock am Ring and Rock Im Park festivals has taken an odd shape. The shape of a mundane Korn, as well as Marilyn Manson, only reason to see him is if it's at Mayhem and that's because Slayer in on the bill. Lastly; apparantly the Rock Am people are interested in seeing Limp Bizkit get booed off the stage again as they did the last time they played in Chicago with Metallica / Deftones. Rock Am Ring will be held in the town of Nurburgring and Rock Im Ring will be held in Nurnberg with the shows

I gotta say, I've only heard of like, 7 of those bands, them being korn, dragonforce, slipknot, MM, KSE, the killers, and placebo. When I saw korn, dragon force, and slipknot [korn at family values, and Dragonfotce plus slipknot at mayhem] they were really good. Placebo was decent. I'd live to see marilyn Manson, but the killers and KSE......... From the words of robot chickens boo c***y episode, "man, I wish he{they} was{were} better". Same with the rest of the bands that no one has ever heard of.....

slipknot's good live if you havn't seen other bands live to compare them to. slipknot is terrible.

if i want to see retards in masks jump around on stage i'll just go to a halloween karaoke party, it would probably be more fun then seeing slipknot try to be metal anyway.
