So Far, I Hate the Sweden Rock 2009 Lineup

The other day, the promoters of the Sweden Rock announced 21 bands that will pay the Festival. Here are those bands:

AMON AMARTH

BLACKFOOT

BULLET

DREAM THEATER

ENFORCER

EUROPE

FORBIDDEN

FOREIGNER

HAMMERFALL

HEAVEN AND HELL

IN FLAMES

LITA FORD

MARILLION

MOTÖRHEAD

RIOT

SEVENTH WONDER

SOILWORK

STORMZONE

THE OUTLAWS

THE TUBES

TORCH

URIAH HEEP

Am I crazy? Where is the Swedish sleaze?! I don't get it. I mean, Heaven and Hell are a good add, but come on. There's nothing on this list - so far - that makes me want to drop several thousand dollars on a trip halfway across the world.

Now, don't get me wrong: I'm optimistic. I'm holding out hope that the rest of the bands are perfectly Glam. If the lineup stays on this course, there's no chance I'll be at Sweden Rock 2009 (and this is painful to write!) The economy is terrible and spending a lot of money on a vacation is risky - but less so if the event is truly one of a lifetime. Crazy me, I actually want to see Swedish bands...while in Sweden.

Thoughts?
