Download Festival 2008

[ravenjuice]

Metallica and Rage are headlining Rock Am, so thats pretty much the first two Download headliners decided.

[Dan]

RATM for Download?!

zomg~!

[Gazz]

Dan, I concur

[Cactus Drags]

Pfft, RATM were rumoured for this year's Download, I'll believe it when I see it.

[Dan]

RATM would be fantastic, sadly, I can't see it happening.

[Cactus Drags]

If they played any festival here, it'd be Leeds/Reading, which is fucking stupid.

[Dan]

I could imagine RATM being better recieved at Download than the Carling Weekend.

[Cactus Drags]

Yeah, but it's like when Iron Maiden did Carling over Download a couple of years ago, I guess it's for the bigger audience or something. Fortunately, Maiden did Download this year to appease the fans. I mean come on, Leeds over frigging Donnington?!?!

I would like to see some different bands at Download, seems Slayer have been there every year I have, and the set doesn't change, it gets boring.

Slayer's set changes every year, it's just no one can tell

[Colly]

Leeds Friday is traditionally metal day, and they do tend to pull in big bands, usually the more mainstream big name types. The years I've been its been Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Maiden and G'n'R. Maybe they just pay more.

RATM for Leeds! Although I might not be going next year...

[Twist]

Bands don't do the Carling Festival for Leeds though, it's more for Reading. Not too bitch about the northern side of the festival, but most bands are more interested in playing Reading. Unless there from Leeds. >_>

Either way Download > Reading and Leeds. Oh yes, it does.

[Nerf]

Urgh.

The Offspring, Lostprophets, Judas Priest and HIM.

Offspring have their moments, LP are bearable, Priest are awesome and HIM are dire.

So who's who for Download?

Me, Summ, Gazz, Dan, Steeb, GA? I smell a Clique reunion + Gazz.

[DFF]

I'll be there assuming I can afford it, already have the dates booked off.

[Dan]

I'm 90% going to download.

I'm 10% not 'cos I'm getting the impression from their forums that it's full of METALHEADS who worship AC/DC and the like.

[Cactus Drags]

The forums suck ass. The are some loser metalheads, but generally the people are pretty cool.

[Dan]

Dragsy just made it 95% >_>

[Gazz]

So who's who for Download?

Me, Summ, Gazz, Dan, Steeb, GA? I smell a Clique reunion + Gazz.

Wow.

I feel so accepted

Can I get like a membership or something?

[Nerf]

Well, I need to rock out with Summ, Steeb and Dan at some point in the weekend. I feel the urge to do so with Gazz also. Bless him.

I wouldn't mind meeting up with GA or Dragsy tho; they are cool enough.
