Download Festival 2008

[Summers]

Disturbed and In Flames are awesome.

[Cactus Drags]

I'd never find it worth paying for an Incubus show, but catching them at Download would be awesome.

[Summers]

If there's nowt else good on, I'd catch Incubus, just because I'll never see them again.

[Summers]

Coheed & Cambria and Children of Bodom confirmed.

Download > every other festival this year already.

[Gazz]

Question.

In the never-ending Download football match, do you usually play left to right, or right to left? or are you a ponce?

[Dan]

I reckon Coheed make download.

[Liam]

I'd fancy going, but for a lack of money. I'll see how things are nearer the time I guess. Plus my girlfriend 'doesn't do' camping, so, I guess we'll see.

When I make some money, I'd still fancy hitting up Download, and probably some of the European festivals. But I r poor, so failure is me.

[Cactus Drags]

Coheed would be perfect headliners for Friday, Friday's always the "slighty out there" day.

[K]

I was disapointed with KISS and Lostprophets as Headliners. But mega happy with the Offspring.

I will be at In Flames and Judas Priest, whatever happens, and it would take someone awesome to swing me away from Children of Bodom and Disturbed. So that's a good solid five bands for me so far.

Motorhead rule, obviously, but I've seen them a bunch and I might use the opportunity to check out someone new on another stage.

Not sure about KISS. I don't particularly want to watch them, but I'd like to cross them off of my list. If that makes sense.

Hmm.

Lostprophets were fine at the Astoria a few months ago, but headlining a festival? Nah. Hoping for a situation similar to last years MCR. All the kids were at the main stage, all the MCR haters were at the second stage being metal with KoRn, and all the really cool people were watching one of the weekends greatest sets in Suicidal Tendencies.

Who's going anyway?

Summers and his crew.

Ryan and his mate/crew?

Me and my mate, possibly with crew.

[Summers]

My crew is potentially three times as big as last year. Potentially.

Most people will no doubt drop out.

[Nerf]

Plus, Summ's crew has me in it this year.

[Summers]

Ben will be there, no doubt screaming metal. We'll be sure to have plastic swords to drink out of.

[GA!]

There's still a chance I'll be going as my mate was impressed by the announcement of In Flames and Children of Bodom. He'll make his mind-up when the next set of bands are announced.

[Summers]

Jonathan Davis of KoRN fame has been announced. Along with Jimmy Eat World, Chris Cornell, Job for a Cowboy and 36 Crazyfists.

Download is fucking awesome this year. Fuck any earlier doubt, it's getting stacked.

[Liam]

Jonathan Davis. Ewwww.

The rest sounds pretty cool so far.

[Cactus Drags]

My friend can't make it now because of a wedding in the family, which wouldn't normally be a problem, but since he was driving up, I now have no apparent way of getting up there. A year or so ago it wouldn't have been a problem as I only lived about 40 minutes away, but now I'm in Gloucester it's a bit more of a trek :/

[Summers]

Train.

It's what I've done every year.

And Jon Davis will be playing queen of the damned songs, cover songs and Korn songs. Sounds good to me.

[Liam]

Jonathan Davis possibly has one of the worst voices in rock/metal.....the concept of this being a solo venture, rather than with Korn, makes it even worse.

[Summers]

The QOTD soundtrack was awesome, so I welcome it. It's a nice 'one off' thing.
