Top of the bill looks really strong. Hopefully they can get journey to play 5th down Sun. Or sub 2nd on Friday. Or maybe the darkness in the same slots, both a great fest bands.

Im watching Priest on Friday.

Darkness would be cool 5th down Main on Sunday tho

[lightning1000]

I intend to watch priest, but if I'm the right level of drunk, I'd probably go for something more akin to twisted sister last year if it was on offer. They're the best bands for drunk sing alongs. Especially if the weather is good.

Late evening train to see FNM and Muse then I'm getting the living fuck out of there

I'm really looking forward tonDownload next year. Just wondering if Slipknot's stage show has changed much since I saw them at Soni?

Yup, completely new stage show for this tour. First time in 9 years they've built it from scratch. They premiered it at knotfest, looks amazing

Thanks. I can't really imagine how much more they could push their live shows from since I last saw them (I only went to Soni for Slipknot but got a £60 full weekend ticket & loved it). Edited December 15, 2014 by Couchy

No need to be so scared. The people there aren't that bad. Mostly.

Mostly.

Have to say Andy is fucking hilarious.

People moaning about BVB's position, his response, they had more retweets and favourites on twitter than anyone else in the announcement last night....

So whats he saying, kids can use twitter?

I bet HALF those people retweeting won't go to Download next year, Altfest got loads of likes on facebook, doesn't mean those people bought a ticket. Jesus Christ.

I will say though BVB are popular and I have no problem with their position, I'll be on main stage. Just seems to be people who don't like FNM or BVB, I reckon whoever is third on main will clash with FNM anyway.

But I love FNM.

Yellowmore is just scared of camping, he needs a bidet otherwise he can't go on the potty.

That announcement is probably the first part of me deciding to go elsewhere.

his album leaked today. since Eat Me, Drink Me he seems to have just settled into this plodding, not very heavy, not very interesting MOR rock and roll act. his last few albums have all been pretty interchangeable, whereas before that he changed his sound (sometimes quite drastically) between albums

only got half way through the new album so maybe it picks up in the second half, but i doubt it

[lightning1000]

Smells like children through to holywood are probably his best years.

Mechanical animals is my favorite. Probably the biggest departure from his usual sound too.

Ah I just wrote that in the poster thread, cheers tho

[Andre91]

Saw Machine Head for the first time tonight and thought they were incredible. They played for about two hours and the setlist was great. They sound amazing too, they're very, very good at what they do. I think that Download have possibly missed a trick not booking them, they would have been a good second stage headliner or main stage sub imo. Although I recall something about the band not actually wanting to play festivals over here anymore? Anyhow, great band, great crowd and a great night

[luckysalt]

They were pretty good at Download in 2012

They won't play second stage, Andy booked them for Second Stage up against Prodigy in 2012 and they refused and demanded they played Main Stage, ended up third down and with a shorter set. They also kicked off when booked for Sonisphere too a few years back.

Andy saying he didn't even reach out to them this year makes me think they're quite difficult to work with. Especially if they will only play Main Stage, although I suppose they would have fit nice 3rd on main Slipknot day and push FFDP down to 4th spot.

[Andre91]

I knew about the Sonisphere thing with Limp Bizkit, but not about the Download 2012 situation. I don't really understand why bands do that tbh. They've got such an extensive back catalogue now that playing a shorter set will only disappoint fans? I'd happily take second stage headliner. Then again, I'm not Robb Flynn

Godsmack won't be the Friday second sub if they're already announced. It'll be someone they're keeping back I think. They're not really that big here anyway but in America they're headlining festivals alongside Slipknot.
