I've been for several years in a row(06,07 and 08) but this years line up doesn't really interest me. I mean come on Slipknot headlining, its not bloodstock for crying out loud.
As a question to other download goers do you sometimes still wear the wristbands from there?

2007 was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! I still have all the paraphernalia from that one stuck on my wall.gibboss28 said:
I just got back. Really awsome download, awsome line-up. The top performing bands definatly have to include Chris Cornell (who was stunningly good live), Korn and Journey. On the other hand Papa Roach and Manson were both fowl.
I really cant stand Papa Roach, they have completely sold out and chased the market. The lead singer was also making comments about how talentless Britney Spears is, but one has to scratch the head and ask how many albums more has she sold?
Limp Bizkit, Prodigy, Trivium and Killswitch engage were certinly the best croud pleasers. I nearly managed to steal myself Fred Dursts hat when he jumped into the crowd but was finger-tip away. I was lucky enough to be on the bar for Prodigy, dosnt get better.

I was able to stream a little bit of Faith No More's set and it was amazing.
As someone who lives in America, I am pissed that Faith No More's reunion is only taking place overseas. Hopefully that will change, but you guys have no right to complain because that is a pretty huge concert event, at least in my eyes it is.

I'm not a huge fan of the music they play at Download.
I'd much rather go to the Green Man Festival.
And I am, this summer. Oh joy.

I was gonna go then found out I dislike all the bands playing and can't be arsed to sit in mud/piss for that this year.
I really wish i went to that one now ,at the time i just saw Machine heads name on the list and thought "Bah some shit nu-Metallers this will be shit" 2 days befor ethe festival i listend to the blackening ,i regretted not going plus i kept getting texted by mates telling me how awesome it all was just to rub salt in the woundSmartIdiot said:
Also who was on at `08? i`ve completlely forgot so it can`t have been good
I couldn't go this year. i had no money. i was so gutted. Especially as slipknot are one of my fave bands.
A couple of my mates just got back, apparently it was mega liquid awesome.
Going next year though (depending on the line up. if its sucks i'll probably go to leeds)

I wanted tickets for that but couldn`t get any shame as it does look way better than download this yearWadders said:NOES
It seems a lot more watered down with non metal/rock acts this year.
I myself will be heading to Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, where Metallica, NIN, Lamb of God, Machine Head and Alice in Chains are playing, amongst others

But yeah it does look sweet, although I'm only going for the Sunday, as there are no bands on Saturday that really float my boat.
I went. There was only about 5 or 6 bands that I had any remote interest in seeing but mostly it was all about Faith No More (who were fantastic!).
Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Devil Driver and Whitesnake on the other hand were a huge blob of pish. PARTICULARY Manson, he was embarassing...

Hehe, they are awesome live.

Really!? Creed!? The only band I have ever heard of getting sued for not putting on a good show, and you are upset that you will not be able to see them live. For some reason I don't think that you will be missing much if they don't tour overseas.Psychosocial said:
Plus the Faith No More reunion is much bigger than Creed. How long has Creed been broken up? Four years? Try 11 with Faith No More. Creed pretty much just on a temporary hiatus until they realized they needed money.

Oh yeah, one more thing, Creed!? Really!?
