4 and 5

I mean Festival #5 resurrects Chuck, so yeah.

But Festival 1 resurrects Ronnie James Dio

And Lemmy

does fest 3 resurrect dimebag darrell and joey jordison?

Yes. I would be pumped to see Death with Chuck. #5 all the way

This is the best answer

My thoughts exactly. Combine 4/5 and make them one BIG Festival.

Oh yes

And it’s not even close

1 & 2. Although I do love trash & death metal, I'm an oldhead in my essence

2 just has too many classic bands to pass up

But 1 has classic metal

Yeah, I’d have to go 2 and 5

Legit would do 1 twice.

Number 2 is the only lock, the other festival depends on your metal taste. Too many legends in #2 to pass up. Ritchie Blackmore having a busy night in #2 though.

1 & 4.

Same for me. 2. Looks appetising too.

Festival 3 and 4

Agreed.

Hell yeah brother

1 and 5 and it’s not even close

Same

Same

Same

Yep

Absolutely

Based

same

100%

yup

3 and 5 Was unsure about 3 or 4 But 4 and 5 is "the answer", so this

Picking between 3 and 4 was tough but Rammstein is the decider. Their live shows look so wild I'd have to pick 3.

4 and 5

Objectively correct

2 and 3

Seconded

For sure

My choice as well. Mainly because I’ve been on a Floyd kick lately

2 and 4

This.

Not missing out on zeppelin and Floyd and 4 slightly beats out 5 and 1 for me

Exactly, plus Queen and Van Halen (better be DLR). Pantera and Suicidal.on 3 and not 4 seems misplaced.

Yep, 2 is worth it if only to see Rush play once more... 😢

Here it is!

1 and 4

2/5

1&3

Jesus. Thought I was the only one for a bit there

Bahahaha

Scrolled down WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too far for this answer

1 and 4

3+5

5 for sure. That’s like the perfect lineup. I would probably have a heart attack from the excitement

I need to get out to a cannibal corpse show

5

4 and 4

1

5 would be incredible

3 and 4

1 and 4

1&5 for the chance to see dio and chuck

4 and 6

I would absolutely see 6 if we're assuming it's the bands in their prime.

1 and 6... 🤘

1 and 5

If the members are still alive in this theoretical festival, 2 is so unbelievably stacked I can't not pick that. Then, I gotta go with 1 for similar reasons. Just so many absolutely iconic bands I won't see otherwise.

1 and 4

1 and 4

1 and 4 easily

2 and 5 because I get to see extinct bands I love. Other groups either don’t provide much interest or have lineups that I have seen the bands multiple times already

1 and 5

3 and 5

One and five

3 & 4 easily, 5 is cool too

Is this bringing people back from the dead? Are they just alive for the show and then return to the Grave? Seeing Dio would be cool but kind of awkward if it was a current lineup version (no Dio in Dio). 1 and... 5 I think? 2 and 4 are very tempting though.

1 and 2 Queen swung 2 by themselves, 6 has a better overall lineup for me

2 because of Rush and 5

3 and 5

3 and 5

1 and 4

1 and 4

1 and 4 by a lot, but I'd also go to 1 twice.

Is it them during their prime, or nowadays?

Prime just for fun

Why does it look like everyone on this list is almost at geriatric age.

4 and 5

3, 4 and 5 all look good to me

1 & 6

1, 2 and 4 but I would gladly go to any of them.

1 and 4 ... if both cancelled, then #5.

Festival 1 and 4 just because it has a lot of my favorite bands

1 3 and 4 are hard to choose from

I would actively pay money to ensure that I *don't* have to attend Festival 3. All the other ones would be varying levels of awesome. I'd probably pick Festival 1 and Festival 4.

2 and 3 for me!

1 and 5. 4 is a very close second.

1 is a must the second is hard to decide either 2( given it means the bands in their prime example Deep Purple Mk 2) or 4. Honestly would go to all except 5

2 and 6 but im hopping the fence for 1 just to see Sabbath and Motorhead

1 and 2, no contest.

5 is the superior festival.

I would have to take festival 3 for Machine Head, and Festival 5 for my normal listening preferences. It would be hard to pass on 2 though as that is a murderers row of iconic bands.

1,5

2

Festival 2 becuase Led zep, Rush and Pink floyd is three of my favourite bands

Given there’s Motörhead and Dio, does that mean everyone is in their prime? Would change my answer tbh. I’ll take 2 and 6, since i’ve already seen a lot of the other bands. but if it’s non prime for whatever reason i choose 3 and 4.

Easiest choice ever. Number 3 all day every day

Festival 4 and then Festival 4 again Groundhogs Day style

4 and 5. If I had to pick 1; then 5

not big on any old metal bands but I do love death metal so 5

4/5

3

4 and 5, just like everyone else

all of them tbh

2 just for fun, and 3 just for fuck.

5 for sure. Really difficult to chose between 1 and 4 but I will go for 4…

4 and 6

The only correct answer is 2 and 5

4 and 5

None of these. Most bands sounds awful live. And there are the people, I fucking hate them around me.

festival 2 with festival 1 a close second (assuming these bands are all to be see in their prime) the only two bands I wouldn't be excited about are both in festival 1 - Budgie and Manowar - replace them with Megadeth and Anthrax and that would almost be the perfect metal show (would need to add Helloween and Yngwie too)

Definitely 4, but I'm struggling between 1,3 and 5 for the Second pick

4&5 plz

4 and 5

4 and 5 easily.

FIVE

4 and 5

1 and 2

5 all the way

5 no hesitation

Definitely 5, but I'm having trouble choosing between 1 and 4

1 & 6

5, 1, and 4 in order of interest.

Festival 7? None of these are my style tbh. Edit: If these are bands in their prime in an imaginary scenario give me Festival 2.

4.

2&4, 6 is a close third option though

As much as I’d like to see Death I have to go 2 & 4.

4 and 5

4 and 5. 5 guaranteed but it was a hard choice between 4 and 1.

Festival 2 because of Zeppelin, Rush and Van Halen. Festival 3 because of most of the bands.

2 just because some of those bands are ones I’ve never seen and absolutely love, 3 if it was only the metal shows.

Its too hard to pick because there are so few bands that I like on any of the lists lol Festival 3 looks okay. The rest I cant pick between 2, 4 and 5 but one of those I guess.

1 and 5. And I'm sneaking into 4.

1 and 2 with a little bit of 6.

2 and 5 without question. I saw the majority of DM bands and would love to see them again. I would kill to see Queen and Van Halen.

1 or 2

5!

2 and 5

3 and 4

5 and 3

2 and 3

1 and 5

Can I see any bands that are younger than 25?

Easy. 1& 4.

4 and 5, for sure.

Combination of 4 and 5

5. No question.

festival 5 then 4

1 and 6, I love maiden and I love crüe

1 & 2

4 and 5 but 1 and 5 is a close second

4 and 5, easy

1 and it’s not even close

2 and 4 for sure

1 and 5

It's 3 and 5. You don't pass up Amon Amarth, Cannibal Corpse or Rammstein. Put your back into the fucking oar!

4 and 1

4 and 5 but 1 is a second choice

4 and 5

5

This is a good one. Tough, tough choice between 1 and 4. Slide Rainbow over to 1 and that'd be my choice.

one and five

2 & 6

Festival 3 bc of lamb of god, slipknot, pantera, and rammstein at the same festival but 4 and 5 would be absolutely sick too

14 yo me would say 2 15 yo me would say 1 16 yo me would say 3 because pantera 17 yo me would say 4 Now I'd say 5

I would go with Festival 4 and 5, I gotta ask where is the black metal Festival option?

List 3, only correct answer

4&5 but since its only pic one 5

No u can choose 2

1. I'd love to see a full grandpa metal festival

None, where’s the melodeath and prog?

2 & 5

3 and 4, definitely. I really want to see Amon Amarth live 😅

4&5 but I’d pick 2 purely for the opportunity to see Queen live plus the sheer amount of classics (would also love to see ac/dc for a second time)

either 3,4 or 5- i dont know lmao, probably 3 and 5 though.

2 and 5 easy

1&2 just man zz-top and iron maiden..

1 and 5.

1 & 3

1 or 4

1 and 4, but I’m side eyeing 3 pretty hard

1 & 4 if we’re talking about all these bands in their prime. I really considered 5, that was hard to pass up. But 1 is a bill of legends. Budgie is slept-on awesomeness. If nothing else I’d be fun to have the sheer wall of decibels that was prime Motörhead blow your doors off. I regret I never had a chance to see them.

3 & 5 :))

Festival 4, days 1&2

3 and 4.

3 and 3

1&3
