Not sure what to make of that to be honest.

F'n stupid if you ask me. Missing out on a pay cheque and a lot of merch sales from the kids!

Ii say fair play to em.

If you keep excepting shitty slots at gigs promoters will keep offering them to you.MH want to move up the ladder like.

If I was to play below Limp Bizkit I'd cancel too.

Haha, respect.

Haha Machine Head are wankers. I dont think ive ever hated anything as much as i hate Machine Head.

I have... Limp Bizkit!

I'm on the fence. On one side I see a band that have toured so hard to earn respect it's got to the point everybody is going "CHRIST, release a neeewww albuuuummmm". The tickets were sold with them in the slot to fans etc and a deal is a deal.

On the other side you don't pull a gig becausea shitty band is playing after you, you just do your best to blow them away. Plus bizkit, like it or not have sold shit loads more records. You don't see lamb of god moaning who lets be honest, have released better records than the pair of them.

They were offered more money to play a higher slot on the second stage but refused that too.

Spot on really.

Gig politics you get it everywhere, I could tell you some stories

If i was going to this id be mega happy about Machine Head pulling out.

"Fucking circle fucking fucking pit fucking!! Fucking cmon fucking!!!"

Rob Flynn can piss off.

hahaha exactly what he does, too funny!

its fair play to em to pull out if the promoter has fucked them around... you dont make a deal then fuck the band over (especially when they turned down an equally huge festival to play this one!)... but then again, it is a bit gay to do that, think of all the MH fans with tickets... they gonna be pissed off!

i don't care either way though really

Machine Head Were offered many things im told:

Many things like- being after Limb Bizkit but before NIN. Being payed MORE money. Having the set time INCREASED. potentially if not happy with that, being put even higher up on the second stage then they could have been on the 1st stage....

WHAT THE FUCK - this is so Diva-ish and juvenile of MH- they are big, but they arnt big enough to just turn on fans like this, they have let down A LOT of people, and lost a lot of respect from me!

ooooohhh the plot thickens, basically they're throwing a tantrum because there was some sort of mix up, and when the promoters tried to make it right they had already decided to fuck it off... makes more sense

Ive always seen Rob Flynn as a big egocunt and ive always hated EVERYTHING about Machine Head. I couldnt give two shits if they died in a horrible plane crash. Just anything to make them stop playing or making "music".

This is hilarious. I'd pull out if someone put Limp Bizkit in my slot, I can't imagine anything more humiliating.
