Bolt Thrower - Not Playing Wacken After All
Bolt Thrower have posted the following message:
"Thanks a lot to the 17,484 people who voted in the poll, it was very much appreciated! [Poll Results]
As you know, this time we decided not to decline the Wacken Open Air offer as usual, but to have a poll and hear your views on it firsthand, before making our decision. Obviously we realised that a lot of people who would be voting would not necessarily be into Bolt Thrower, but we were very interested in the comments you would send. In the end we received hundreds of comments, and the huge majority confirmed what we were already thinking, that WOA 2008 is not the right festival for Bolt Thrower.
We would like to thank the WOA organisers for their very unique offer and wish them every success, and for those of you going to WOA 2008, and who voted in favour of us playing there, we hope you have a great weekend.
We will soon be deciding and confirming which festival Bolt Thrower will be playing next summer. Thanks again to all of you who participated in the poll."

I didn't know they were going to use reverse psychology in this poll, next time people vote no and they will play  Well, it's good to know they paid more attention to the comments sent vs. results of the poll. I personally did not bother to vote, i would have much rather liked to see a poll with a list of the festivals they intended to play in and vote the one the best fits with the band (or the one i am most likely going to see)

Bolt Thrower is known to be very loyal to its fans, so it is only natural that they prefer playing for a crowd that is equally loyal to the band. If they had played at Wacken, they would have been one out of many, a band that would have to play at 1 p.m. and which would just be some sort of alternative for the visitors who don't want to see the metalcore band playing at the same time on the other stage. I also voted against their attendance at Wacken even though I might go there as well next year, but I just think a festival with only one stage would definitely be more suitable for them.

Ah, too bad that they are not playing, because I'd love to see them live soon, but I understand why they declined to play.
