Just wow. If i'm not there it's because i'm dead lol

Blind Gardien · Mar 3, 2014

Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill... I just woke up in a mid-80s flashback or what? Pretty tempting... :yo:

And no Foo Fighters... although a few non-heavy bands.

To me, it doesn't matter! Like someone said above. If I'm not there, I better be dead.

Beatnik · Mar 3, 2014

Wow, crazy line-up. I'll be there it fits greatly in my vacations

MXD · Mar 3, 2014

... Meh. I don't know -- Metallica is great, but them on any show mostly screams "show got way more expansive".

Glad to see Symphony X and Alestorm.

Also, that lineup looks A LOT like Montebello's last year...

EDIT : BODY COUNT?!?!? WTF!!!

im so happy to see Body Count. never in my life i thought i would get the chance.
Ice-T has always been a big Metal fan and their lyrics fit the theme pretty well.

its weird its the only type of band like that, but im happy they didnt add more and screwed the festival, tourning it into a little bit of everything.

i just noticed Madball is also there.
now hopefully theres a day better than the other so i dont get to pay for the full festival.
with Metallica it might sell-out

165$ for 2 days. Tickets will be on sale March 7th

Not sure if it's the same price at the gate though.

OmniSens · Mar 4, 2014

I'll be nice enough to supply the link, as long as you promise me to leave me a few tickets! :sarcasm:

Holy moogly I'm happy about this one.

Wintersun · Mar 4, 2014

I'm not. Elitist metal fans like me do not enjoy the change to this year's lineup. Rockfest already supplied people with big rock and punk bands, and every summer my main weekend was Heavy MTL to see many metal bands I love. I know this year I won't buy my ticket.

I know there is a good amount of good thrash bands, but I happen to be a progressive / death metal fan for the most part, and I have nothing out of this line-up.

Still an awesome line-up and it will sell more tickets than previous ones, but it's not suited for me and I'm kind of angry about this year's change to the formula. It was the only real big metal festival around, and I don't know where to go anymore. I'll think about Wacken, but that's 3000$ right there...

So you tend to prefer metalcore bands ? Last year was about 80% core bands. This lineup is about real metal.

Aside from Mastodon, Megadeth, Danzig, Phil H, Finntroll and Newsted there was nothing good. Only some really teeny metal.

Metallica will be playing their one and only North American performance of 2014 at HEAVY MONTRÃ‰AL. Not only will fans get to rock out to one of the greatest bands of all time, they’ll get to choose the setlist as well! HEAVY MONTRÃ‰AL pass purchasers will receive a unique code to vote for the songs they want to hear Metallica play via Metallica’s website.

Body Count!
****ed up!

honestly not bad. not bad at all.

DRI won't pass customs, they said it on their FB page, and they don't know why they're on the lineup.
And for Unibroue, maybe it just tastes all the same because I dug to taste some other microbrew beers, so yes, I'm a beer hipster now. I prefer the term beergeek than beer hipster though, lol.

More bands will be added later on in the summer. There always is. This is where you may get a few death metal bands which I hope is the case because I love that style of metal also but love the trash metal giants that are on the bill this year. When the none metal acts are playing that's when you hit the bar except when Dropkick Murphy's are playing cause that's just a good Irish style drunk.....

I want Dyers Eve or Fight Fire with Fire, just to watch Lars fails on drums so badly

He fails on 99% of pre-black album songs. Nothing to see here folks.
