Is it just me.....

[deadrobot]

i just hope that Download can get the Deftones in return!!!

[Lithium05]

serious? that is a f**king joke! what day do they get in on...?

[Salt_On_Everything]

hahaha, i can't believe you have top pay £10 for the privelige of getting in on wednesday! thats appalling! no doubt £10 booking fee like DL, plus £5 postage, so Metaldave must be right, about two ton a ticket! that's f**king scandalous.

[MetalDave]

I'm glad i spent the extra money i was going to use for a Leeds Ticket on upgrading my Download ticket to RIP

How some of these festivals, in particular L/R & Sonisphere, can justify their pricing is beyond me.

[Binka T Cat]

My first festie cost 20 quid including camping mind you that was 21 years ago.(Still have my ticket).And we was camped next a T Rex.lol

[bandmiguelin]

Yeah i've been to Reading last 3 years, and this years lineup has about 3 bands i'd wanna see and haven't at previous fests (Radiohead, Prodigy and Deftones), so definatly going to pastures new. Though I knew that anyways after the rioting and shit on the sunday last year.

So yeah, Download or some euro fest for me!

[Bad Girl]

Who lets these children out to "riot" anyway?

As far as I am aware, the "riots" started as people messing about and it all got a little out of hand and they ended up setting fire to the toilets and stuff. Eww!! But over the years this ritual has become a planned and orchestrated event. It's just not rebellious anymore kids!! It's confirmist!!

And oh pooooo. Slipknot and Prodigy clash? Evilness. Mind you, I'm going to see Prodigy next so all works out.

I went by train last year just for the Sunday.And it actually worked out cheaper than driving by the time I had paid petrol and parking.And I could have a drink what was a bonus.Had to leave Metallica a bit early only downfall.

They will be charging for the boat ride next.

[Lithium05]

Out of interest is anyone on here going to Download and Reading, or even just Reading and prefers heavier music? If so do you fancy joining up with our camp to try and limit the ammount of troublemakers as neighbours? Where we usually camp goes untouched by the riots and I'd like to keep it that way!

re: the crappy nasty clash, i'm watching the prodigy next weekend so will favour slipknot at download

[Bad Girl]

Even without this bloody recession.

[bekimo]

that's weird coz i went to reading last year for the first time (usually do leeds), got there at 7pm on the thursday and easily camped in orange so the walk wasn't that far at all! i hate the way they are capitalising on their own popularity in such a blatant manner.. grr..

[bekimo]

awesome, where at? i'm going on the aptly named GOOD friday in manchester!

[Bad Girl]

haha yeah funily enough i always go out on a tues night into town and end up being a bit late every wednesday.. or phoning in with a migraine (which to be fair, depending on how much i drink, is usually true!) i'm lucky tho coz i am an elected VP at my students union so can do whatever hours i like

[oscar]

bloody hell when/where was that at?? my first one was v99 and it was £70 for weekend and camping.

[Bad Girl]

Monsters of Rock 1988 Donnington Park.In fairness it was a one day festival one stage.But the line up was Iron Maiden,Kiss,David Lee Roth,Megadeth,Guns N Roses and Helloween.

[oscar]

o..m..g.. respect! puts my v99 to shame, let's put it that way..

[Bad Girl]

To be fair M.O.R. always did have pretty sound line ups.

I was just thinking I bet Slipknot are happy that they chose the right festival this year.

[LethalLegacy]

I think this year's L/R line-up pretty much sums up their feelings towards metal at the festival now that Sonisphere has come along and now that Bloodstock has become more popular. They obviously don't see the need for it, or at least not this year.

Of the line-up I'd see Kings of Leon, The Prodigy (at D/L anyway), Eagles of Death Metal, Deftones, AFI, and that's about it. The rest of it is either bands I really don't care about or bands that I really can't stand.

Also, in regards to the comment about the L/R crowd possibly spoiling Download's atmosphere - probably not, although from experience last year was about as close as it got thanks to one idiot during Kiss's set, and especially during Pendulum's set - there was a fair few people there who were antagonistic at the least. At least most of the rest of the festival went smoothly and most of the people I find at Download tend to be decent people.
