gazza_20 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Thats fair enough, you should always go to the ones you enjoy the most, for me its Download. I don't find the trek all that bad, but im used to walking. I try not to head back to camp once ive gone to the arena until the end of the day mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I actually think the walk is awesome! It gives you time to get a few tins down your neck before being raped at the arena for beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I think most people do this, they'd be crazy not too. Thing is though if you didn't have the long walk you could just nip out and have a few when you were not fussed on any of the bands at a certain time. I enjoyed my first download last year, the only problem was the weather on the Sunday was attrocious, and once I was soaked by the rain I then needed to trek back to the tent to change into more clothes to get warm again, missed a couple of bands through it, where if it was a little closer I could have easily done the round trip in 10-15 mins. I generally stay in the arena all day once there. I had dressed in waterproofs, they just didn't turn out to be that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcademicPistol Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I know the bastards done all the french made cars in the area they knew what they were doing and all they took was an empty sunglasses case (presuming there was something inside it) but any way they are hopefully dead now. It doesn't feel like the full reunion without all of them but Ozzy & Geezer will pull it off if Tony isn't well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilloggie Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 So looking at Bill Ward's statement he is not getting a 25% cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Looks like its happening without Bill, but sounds like the doors open if he wants to come in at some point, some money and the experience is better than nothing surely? Regarding above and the Sunday, it started raining 10am on the dot and didn't stop until around 8pm ish, nightmare, went to arena about 2pm to watch GWAR, then did Gaslight Anthem and Disturbed but went back to get changed, had chinese in noodle bar, missed BFMV completely but could hear the whole set then went back down for Rob Zombie and the rest of Linkin Park, the rain definatly stopped me seeing more bands on the Sunday. Hope this year we get 2009 weather, that was ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev1664 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Managed to watch BFS, The pretty reckless and Gaslight. Went to try and find some shelter near the food stores etc, but was no good. Managed to get back into the arena after a change in time for Rob Zombie who was excellent.
