crikey! i must've been drunk- sum41? what was I thinking?!?! There's loads more quality bands announced in the lineup. I'm also looking forward to Monster Magnet, Primus{wouldn't it be cool if they played the South Park theme!} and of course the legend Slash. "Run tt Hills" will take me back to my first boyfriends bedroom, surely it will sound better live rather than a worn out old cassette, haha Can't wait!

The Maiden is totally appropriate for an awesome lineup like Monster Magnet, Sum 41, Queens of the Stone Age, Slayer etc. But lets not forget the master of metal, the king of b-grade horror ROB ZOMBIE. Words cannot describe how long I've waited!! Rock mother f***er! Yeah!! Bring on the demonoid phenomenon!
