Well I'd like to see FNM, Mastodon, Refused and maybe Incubus. The rest of em you couldn't pay ME to sit in a field and listen to them - especially Kiss. The last few hours of Donington 96 were some of the most torturous of my entire life.

I saw Faith No More at Leeds fest a few years ago, every song was amazing. Even the theme from Eastenders.
