Have you ever been to download? Ive been to a fair few festivals, and the atmosphere at download it without doubt the best anywhere. Last year somebody stole cans of beer from my tent..... and left more than enough cash to replace them. I can safely say at any other festival the beer would have just gone, along with my cd player etc.
Oh and the name download came because of the link to how it was organised via the net if im not mistaken.

Yeah you might not like some of those bands, but at the end of the day they are bands a hell of alot of people are going to pay to see, and download always has other awesome bands. Its still miles away, shitloads of bands havent even been announced yet. Slayer have been there the past 2 years I think, and will prob be there this year. And the other bands you say, they do try and get bands there like that, but you gotta remember, they cant force bands to play.

I went to 'download' about three years ago when Maiden played.

The crowd was great..because Metal crowds are always the best...but the people who organise it are idiots.

Some asshole came out between each band and said 'we'd like to thank our sponsers snickers, carling, livemusic, ticketmaster, gayweekley..etc'. WTF? I'm not hear to listen to propeganda.

That hasnt happened for the last 2 years. The only thing that was wrong with last year was the security guards, and they've gone with a new company for this years festival. There's no queue to get in or anything anymore

Did they have any 'piss' bottle throwing? That was great fun

nemo · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2006, 02:41:55 PM »

to be honest, gnr and the prodigy are the only 2 bands announced so far that i really want to see, but those 2 are enough i think

gigi smack · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2006, 02:44:20 PM »

Gotta agree, Download is a cool festival. Im not much of a 'nu' metal fan myself, but i found the crowd there to be extremely friendly. Only been once before when Maiden played a couple of years ago, but was very impressed. Nice site too, not like that shit hole Reading!

And lets save the piss bottles just in case some cunt comes on to advertise snickers! Or if the Rasmus turn up!

nemo · « **Reply #20 on:** February 22, 2006, 02:48:31 PM »

i was there last year too, it's by far and away the best atmosphere of any of the festivals, gotta love the crowd

and the lineup usually ends up being awesome nearer the time anyway

bolt · « **Reply #21 on:** February 22, 2006, 03:19:21 PM »

do they do day tickets?

Julien · « **Reply #22 on:** February 22, 2006, 03:39:04 PM »

^ i'd like to know that too

kennyabis · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2006, 08:25:55 PM »

They will do closer to the time of the festival, but they'll be around Â£60

missaxlrose · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2006, 09:42:47 PM »

i cant go its too much

chinese_democracy_ · « **Reply #25 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:27:57 AM »

i would buy a day ticket but i dont think its worth 60 pounds = travell expenses just to stay for guns n roses then fuck off home considering i am not a driver ill wait till they play in london when they do a proper tour that will probely be after the fest tour then i can get a train there and back or tempt my uncle to come see them with me . meand him had tickets to a show in 2001 in london but zxl dint show up

providing weekend tickets don't sell out, they will put day tickets on sale nearer the time, they didn't have many left last year though, nearly sold out the whole festival with weekend tickets i think

Kilamite · « **Reply #27 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:02:25 PM »

I'm getting my ticket tomorrow for Download.

They better still be on sale...my mate just got his and he'll be going on his tod me and a few other guys get ours!

CoMa · « **Reply #28 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:03:41 PM »

I just hope The Prodigy dont overrun like they did at the leeds festival making GnR cut there set short

Kilamite · « **Reply #29 on:** February 23, 2006, 05:07:49 PM »

Since Guns are headling Coma, that ain't likely

More likely Guns will overshoot their set!

Nodoby even knows what day any of the bands are playing yet, other than metallica and g'n'r of course.

Kilamite · « **Reply #31 on:** February 25, 2006, 09:31:49 PM »

Guns are headlining Sunday, Metallica Saturday.

Unless I am mistaken by their layout, with Metallica being below the "Saturday 10th" and Guns being below the "Sunday 11th"
