    Some quality bands/acts though!</p>

    Rage against the Machine, Biffy Clyro, Prodigy, Aphex Twin, and a lot of really good smaller bands</p>

    Biffy Clyro are awful, i fell asleep watching them a couple of years ago. RATM were good, whether or not they can still cut the mustard I don't know. Was never a fan of the Prodigy or Aphex Twins.

    Any festival that has the Fratellis second bill on the main stage and the Kaiser Chiefs headlining a stage deserves to be treated with nothing but disdain.

    Interesting.</p>

    Biffy are my favourite band, never seen anyone come close to them when they're on form, and I've been to a **** load of gigs
    </p>

    RATM were and always will be one of the best metal bands of my generation. I think they'll have no problem being as good as they were, if anything I think they'll be better.</p>

    Who/what are you into?</p>

    RE: Having seen the line up

    Loads and loads of bands, far far too many to mention them all, most of whom have either split up (New order/joy Division, The Gun Club, Husker Du, Magazine, The Smiths, The Birthday Party, Pavement, Triffids etc) or gone over the hill (Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, Sonic youth, Killing Joke etc) or are just plain weird (Julian Cope, Einsterzende Neubeuten, the Fall, Wire, Butthole Surfers etc) or are just noisy (My bloody Valentine, Jesus and Mary Chain, Black Flag, mission to Burma etc) or are nice and melodic and poppy (e.g orange juice, felt, shack, nick cave, Go-betweens etc). I'm very stuck in my ways and needless to say i dislike immensely all these new NME hyped rubbish that we've got to endure at the moment.

    Saw RATM at Leeds 2000 and they were very good, even if i was suffering from trench foot at the time.
