SiKth, Coopers, Primal Scream, Lemon Jelly, Hell is for Heroes, Amen, Free Association, The Bays, The Music, The Libertines, Love, Counting Crows(as long as they play all of "August and Everything After" and avoid that shitty big yellow taxi cover), Coldplay, Billy Mahonie, Mogwai, Spiritualized, Doves, Mercury Rev, Anti-Flag, Audioslave, QueensOTSA, Raging Speedhorn, Morkie, Young Heart Attack, Deftones, My Vitriol, Smother, Rival schools, The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Hundred Reasons, AFI, Silvertide, Surefire, Weezer, Blood Brothers, King Adora, American Headcharge, Dropkick Murphys(on the Main Stage), Flogging Molly, The Vessels, SchneiderTM, System of a Down, Lo-fidelity All-Stars, Freq Nasty, The Streets, Radiohead, 3 Doors Down, Porcupine Tree, Ian Brown, The Strokes, Grandaddy, and finally, as the Joker in the pack on the Rock Day.......The mighty SCOOTER!! Any opinions on any of these acts are very welcome.
I saw them at Ozzfest 2001, then at Reading 2001, then at Leeds 2002 and they just got better every time!! Especially with Casey's craziness at Leeds, fucking up his amp, then jumping off the VERY high speaker stack!!
I saw Amen at Reading 2001, in the Evening Session tent and then again last year on main stage. But I would have to say they were far better in the tent, the atmosphere was amazing and you'll never see a fiercer bottle fight (at least with plastic Coke bottles!).
