MCR gets main stage and Motley doesn't!? What bullshit!

Of course you'll be there - it aint every weekend you get to hang out with Marty Fuckin redtop  :P

Hehehehe, of course, last time was cool? ;D


Yeah, that efestivals listing is a bit weird, I mean, I can't see people like Motley Crue or Marilyn Mason agreeing to anything else than headlining, I don't know

IRON MAIDEN (June 10), LINKIN PARK (June 9) and MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE (June 8) are the first three officially confirmed bands for the Download festival, set to take place June 8-10 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, England. Other acts that are rumored (but **NOT** confirmed) to appear at this year's event include M?TLEY CR?E (who will reportedly headline the tent on June 9), SLAYER, MEGADETH, EVANESCENCE, FALL OUT BOY, WOLFMOTHER and MARILYN MANSON.

Fuck yeah, Maiden!

Maiden is awesome, the other 2 is a fucking joke  :-[
u should go to the download forums, funny as hell, not a single person there wanted mcr to even be at the festival let alone headlining. This sucks also coz will make decent bands think twice about going, coz how offensive is it to ask a band like megadeth or VR to play BENEATH mcr or linking park
This years headliner announcement is a dark day for Donnington  :crying:

I'll be back again.....and a bit more....er.....sober.....less stoned....well possibly :D

I'm not from the UK, so I don't know a lot about this festival (except that GNR did it last year).  But, here are a few questions. 

What is the point of this festival?  It combines things that are completely unrelated, like the three headliners (MCR, Linkin Park, and Maiden).  Are they just trying to get the most varied audience possible?  Do they want bands to be well received by 1/3 of the crowd and ignored/hated by the rest?  What's the vibe like?

There seems to be a decent metal representation and, for the record, let me say that I FULLY support Fall Out Boy playing at a metal festival, if only so their fans can do one of the following:

1.) Realize that FOB is inferior.
2.) Sit in the middle of a mosh pit, crying.
3.) Be eaten by black metal enthusiasts when they run out of food.

Variety is the spice of life.

Festivals are great for the atmosphere, camping out with friends, getting drunk/stoned etc.

Have 3 different headliners is a fair deal, gives everybody something they'll like.

There are 3 stages though, so there is plenty of variety giving people the chance to sample new bands and what not they'll be hundreds and plenty of stuff to do, i'm real happy Maiden are playin' as i am yet to see them live, as for the other 2 acts, a few beers should make them fun ;D.

aparently motley crue are headlining the tent, what a joke.

MCR is pile of shit, to be headlining over so many great bands is a joke.

download sucks, kerrang sucks for promoting shit.

Thing is, i would prefer that.

Main Stage sucks mcuh more, the view isn't wonderful, in the tents it is way better i much prefer it there :yes: More up close and personal....

People complain to much, yeah there are some shit acts but there are and will be good acts to, people have different tastes, so what, My Chemical Romance headline the main stage, while they are playin' you can be at either of the other 2 tents watching other headliners, getting drunk, stoned and well, just having a good time, people would have to have a really wide array of taste to like everything.  It's only to be expected that some are the most popular bands with the kids these days, whether you like them or not are gonna be playin', bah, people complain' to much, "This is shit", "They are shit", maybe people's time would be better spent praising stuff they like, but yeah, whatever, Fall Out Boy rule, party on! :beer: :smoking:

if you like fall out boy lol i lose much respect for you old bud!

not going, shite line up. shite camp site.

Following the official announcement this evening on BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe show, IRON MAIDEN has confirmed it will be once again headlining this year's Download festival on Sunday, June 10, making this a record-breaking fourth headline appearance at the world-famous Donington Park (Leicestershire, England) venue.

The first time MAIDEN ever played at Donington was when they topped the bill in 1988, with KISS and GUNS N' ROSES among the supports, playing to over 100,000 people ? the biggest Donington crowd by far and still the biggest metal show ever in the U.K. ? returning again in 1992 and 2003.

Commented MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson: "Our fans know that Donington is a special place for MAIDEN and we are all looking forward to getting back there for a fourth time. The 'A Matter of Life and Death U.K. Tour' last December was very special for us and we very much appreciated the fans giving us such great support in us playing the whole album which, let's face it, was not necessarily the easiest thing to do for us or them! It was definitely the right challenge for us at that time but outdoors in the summer is different and as a 'thank-you' to our fans we will be including quite a few more 'classic' favorites balanced with some of the tracks from the new album. We will naturally bring Eddie and his toys along, so all in all it should be a great day for everybody!!"

Tickets will be going on sale tomorrow morning (Wednesday, January 31) at 9:00 a.m. and are available from the official web site for the festival or the credit card hotline 0870 400 0822.

i hope my chemical romance get the bottling of their life, same with linkin park. 

Jesus i wouldnt pay money to see any of those bands, but to each his own i guess.

Bah, Rock Am Ring, and Rock Im Ring sound by far better with The Smashing Pumpkins headlining both : ok:

Compared to last year pretty much all of the European festivals have a crap lineup (except a few bands). I still hope Aerosmith will be at Rock am Ring.  :peace:

Aerosmith are imminently about to announce their world tour (from their website I got this) so would place a bet on their own stadium shows as opposed to festivals.

ah wicked news - thanks Calcy!  maybe it will be new Wembley stadium!

So back on the Positive track, who from this board besides me is actually intending to go.....(Note: If you think the bands suck and just feel like posting, "They all suck i'm defo not going", hold that thought, take a step back and for once think of something intelligent to post)

Yeah, I think I'll be going. Well, in fact I've already booked a hotel in Derby just in case. Although I might end up camping, I don't know.

Anyway, if the efestivals.co.uk rumours are true (and apparently they have good sources), The Cult on Friday, Motley Crue on Saturday and Iron Maiden on Friday, plus Marilyn Mason already do it for me.

Btw, are you gonna speak more than two words to me this year?? :hihi:

"Hey, I'm Stoned"

That's more than two. :P

Although i can't remember whether i actually said that or not  :hihi:

I blame my inability to roll out doors, that forced me to roll before the day began, and every time i roll 2 i smoke 1 at least so i had to roll and smoke for a long time, so i was out of it by the time i arrived on that day haha.

But yeah, this year, i'll be a lot better.

Rather than stopping at a mate's nearby i'm pretty sure i will be camping, so yeah, it's all good...

Stoned - Im Stoned

Graciela - Yeah i can see


tumbleweed......... end of conversation

Graciela turns back to watch Bullet For my Valentine

It was definately more....."I am Stoned"....3 Words :P

Done.


A couple of new rumours from efestivals.co.uk: Smashing Pumpkins and Velvet Revolver

We need loads more votes  :(

C'mon guys it only takes a minute to register and vote....... : ok:

how many do you need?

This year's already impressive line-up is being added to - we're excited to announce that Grammy winners Wolfmother, Slayer, Marilyn Manson, Killswitch Engage and Bring Me The Horizon have just been confirmed to play Download 2007.

The mighty Wolfmother make their debut at Download this year, their performance will be one of unforgettable proportions. Meanwhile, Slayer's monumental live show will justify why this is amazingly their sixth time at Donington Park. Tom Araya of the band said ?Be prepared to enter the abyss and expect no mercy.?

Self-proclaimed ?Antichrist Superstar?, Marilyn Manson is among the most notorious and controversial entertainers of our generation. Making a return to the festival for a 2nd time (2003 being the other), he will take to the stage on the Saturday night. Manson has revealed ?I have a responsibility to make the music loud again, so that we won't hear the world coming to an end."

Killswitch Engage are one of the most important metalcore acts of the millennium. After a phenomenal Download debut in 2005, the band return due to popular demand. And to finish this week's announcement; despite only forming in March 2004, Bring Me The Horizon made their Download Festival debut in 2005. After triumphantly inciting moshers from all over Donington Park, Bring Me The Horizon return with their unique brand of deathcore. Catch their brutally energetic live show at Download this year.

More bands confirmed:

Velvet Revolver
Korn
Dragon Force
Devildriver
Lamb of God
Dimmu Borgir


SIX NEW BANDS ADDED WITH JUST 100 DAYS TO GO!

The first major festival of the season arrives in just 100 days and we are excited to announce the next six bands added to the already exceptional line-up are Korn, Velvet Revolver, Dragonforce, Devildriver, Lamb of God and Dimmu Borgir.

Korn?s Download 2006 set saw vocalists from Ten Years, DevilDriver, Skindred, Stone Sour and Trivium fill the breach when Jonathan Davis was taken ill at the eleventh hour. Determined to give the performance the fans were waiting for last year Jonathan Davis explains, "I am so looking forward to coming to the Download Festival this year. I was heartbroken to pull out last time. So this time I am very happy to be coming back and we promise to rock the place! I will definitely make-up for missing the last one. You can expect an amazing Korn show!"

Velvet Revolver lead singer Scott Weiland said - "I have to say, I'm a big proponent of "the true rock and roll extravaganza". Although I might have to add that the Download Festival might have been a better handle".

Dragonforce return for the second time with guitarist Herman Li saying ?We've had so many requests from fans asking us play to Download this year, and Dragon Force is always up for a free piss up, so there is no way we can let our fans down.  We?re really looking forward to coming back for another rampage with more songs at Download 2007!?
Hard-as-nails metallic maelstrom DevilDriver make their second appearance and Dez Fafara says ?It?s a privilege and an honour to be playing at this year?s Download.  We had such a great time last year and the excitement in the DevilDriver camp is overwhelming about playing again this year!  We are going to unleash a ferocious monster on the festival so get ready for the biggest fuckin? circle pit in history!?

Vocalist Randy Blythe of Lamb of God, returns for the second year saying ?The first time we played Download is one of my personal career highlights. To come back two years later will be even f*cking better. Britain might sink this time ? be warned?.

And last but not least Dimmu Borgir make their Donington Park debut with Silenoz announcing ?We?ve been looking forward to do this for many years and now it?s finally happening! We?re hoping the Diaboli Horde will turn up manifold in support of our first festival appearance on English soil!?

Sweet.  Well the "Big" bands have been covered now, looking forward to Maiden, Slayer (Who have been at like 3 festivals i've been to and somehow i ALWAYS miss them) and Velvet Revolver.  I'm holding out hoping Wyndorf sorts himself out and Monster Magnet get added, can't see it though, i would love to see Orange Goblin get a slot and maybe Hardcore Superstar...

...Going off the thread activity the HTGTH representation looks low this year, maybe that stoner cunt Arron can roll by again :D

There are some great bands this year, but the lineup still lacks a little something for me.  They only got one of the headliners right.  I can't get over how nearly every year there's at least one headliner that totally sucks; this year there are two that suck, I don't need to name them.  I'd be over the moon if Megadeth or GN'R were to be there and book a ticket asap.  VR and Maiden would be my reasons for attending from what they've announced so far, with Slayer being a nice bonus.

dude it would be sweet if rage guns and bls played there the same day.

And some more bands confirmed:



93 DAYS TO GO: MORE LEGENDS AND NEWCOMERS ADDED TO DOWNLOAD 2007

The countdown continues to the first major festival of the season and with 93 days to go Download Festival is thrilled to announce the addition of seven more bands ranging from legendary status to the cream of the new breed.

EVANESCENCE make their 2nd appearance at this years Festival. Amy Lee's beautiful melodies, compelling lyrics, poignant piano and stunning vocals, fused with Terry Balsamo's urgent, yet intricate guitar, form a seamless, ethereal mixture that perfectly channels Evanescence?s hard rock and classical sensibilities.

As one of the most influential bands of the '80s, MOTLEY CRUE return to Donington Park for the third time, although this will be the first time for 17 years. The original line of Nikki Six, Vince Neil, Mick Mars and Tommy Lee are guaranteed to bring the flamboyance and raw power to the stage that has won them so many fans over the years.

Tipped for big things in 2007, GALLOWS have captured the imaginations of rock/indie critics alike, never straying from their hardcore roots. Bassist Stuart Dili-Ross enthused "Playing Download is a really big deal for us! Download and Donington are like legendary historical events and its insane to be involved, rather than just going and partying and watching bands like we were a couple of years ago. Cant f**ing wait".

This will be 30 SECONDS TO MARS? Donington debut. Jared Leto (vocals and guitar) and his brother, Shannon, set up the band as a small family project, things started rolling pretty quickly and before they knew it there was a massive demand for their self-titled debut album. Their second album, A Beautiful Lie, debuted in the US Billboard chart top 40 and has sold around a million copies.

ENTER SHIKARI made their Download festival debut in 2006. Tipped by the BBC as ?The sound of 2007?, and ?Ones To Watch in 2007? by numerous areas of the media. Lead singer Rou said ?Download is going to be mega! To play it is out of this world. I'm gonna to do 10 Barbara Windsor?s before I go on stage and then clout Chris Batten (bass) in his trout claspers. That will put him out of action for the weekend. Killer."

This is the 3rd time MACHINE HEAD will make an appearance at Donington Park, their last triumphant performance in 2004 saw them voted Band Of The Day on the official Download Festival website. Guitarist Phil Demmel said, ?Machine Head is totally stoked to get back to Download. Download 2004 was the highlight of my musical career so far, so we look forward to increasing on that. The UK rocks... And Download rules!!?

BOWLING FOR SOUP return to Download for their 3rd appearance after a hiatus in 2006. Jeret Reddick said ?We couldn't be more excited about our return to Download... the caliber of the bands and the diversity of the music and music fans makes it one of the best weekends ever... not to mention there is free beer if you play and the occasional sandwich, which would be reason enough to play, even if they didn't pay us... now all I have to do is try and be sober enough to remember seeing Slayer!!!?


www.downloadfestival.co.uk

i hope crue tour in other places too lol.

Im going to download along with my husband a our 3 kids ages 20, 18 & 15. I love velvet revolver and mcr!!! husband maiden fan and kids korn, linkin park and others, so the varied line up is catering to us all.  Stop moaning you dont have to see the bands you dont care for but dont spoil it for others, we've all paid our money to have a good time, enjoy people!!!

Does anyone know the score with the day tickets as i only want to go on the sunday, but the website for download says that there are no plans to sell day tickets at the moment and if they do it will only be a very small amount, do they say this every yeah as a ploy to get the weekend tickets sold or is it something different.

Not every year but the day tickets do go on sale later, if i was you i'd wait cos i'm pretty sure you can get them, saying a very small amount i would say is a bit of a ploy as they never sell to well...

Anyone going???? i havent been before didnt manage to get there last year to see gnr, my friend has 2 free tickets and hes offered to give me them, only prob is his name is on the ticket. are there any issues regarding the need for id to be shown with the ticket for entry or is security quite chilled?

cheers guys.

every gig ive been to has my mums name on, and my friends who she ordered them for too, have her name on, so i cant see how it would stop you.

as far as I know - only glastonbury is the festival with tickets that have your name (and photo now) on them.  you should be fine with this ticket.  unless they are a certain type of guest/VIP ticket that is only given to people not to sell on and prints their name on for that reason.... but these get sold on anyway and I dont think names get checked...

Hardcore Superstar have been added :headbanger:

And the stages have been sent, great news, while Linkin Park stink up the Main Stage, Motley Crue headline the 2nd Stage, which is better anyway, i love the 2nd and 3rd stages, much more up close and personal!

So... Stoned.... since the friends I'm going with can only make it Sunday, if I decide to go for the whole weekend on my own, will you take care of me?  :hihi:

HARDCORE SUPERSTAR SO DESERVE TO BE THERE!

buckcherry, now hardcore, looks like the new rock/sleaze scene is finally getting some attention.

Course, you know me, sensible, reserved, professional, wise, they don't call me Hammy "Take Care" Stoned for nothing..... ;)

Hahahaha, no, they don't call you that at all, do they?  ;D

Ok, so that's settled then, I'm so there  :beer:

dude u have to go see 'em

i cant afford nor get to the download festival, they doing any other dates in UK?

not at the moment i don't think so, but dude, it's buckcherry and hcss.. sell your friends grandparents to get the money

i saw buckcherry at nottingham. they were ok but didnt blow me away like other bands ive seen live. comapred to youtube videos there performance was average, not top like usual. guess they didnt like UK crowds.

hardcore will come round again. they annoyed me though they did a full uk tour to everywhere but the midlands. Thats just gay.

(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/TheStonedMaids/Download2007.jpg)
There's the final line-up give or take the odd late addition.

With just under 4 weeks remaining until Download 2007 finally arrives, individual day tickets will go on sale on Monday 14th May at 9:00am. These tickets are strictly limited and priced at ?60 each, demand for these is sure to exceed availability.

Please note, we have already released the final batch of camping tickets. These are only available to weekend ticket holders, these have been selling at a phenomenal rate and any weekend ticket holder who has yet to buy camping is recommended to act swiftly. Don't forget you can also book security lockers, these are available to all festival goers for ?6.

Meanwhile, Parking Passes for this years festival cost ?6 in advance or ?10 on the day. We really want festival-goers to car pool and use public transport as much as possible, to cut fuel emissions .

SUICIDAL FUCKING TENDENCIES ARE THERE?

Jesus. Hope they do a small tour beforehand in the UK. I have been aching to see them for years and years and years.

Apart from that...

Maiden
Killswitch
Velvet Revolver
Turbonegro
Orange Goblin
Machinehead
Slayer
Lamb Of God
Evanescence ( for one reason only)


They would be the ones id check out. And ive seen three of them bad boys. Velvet, Turbonegro and Orange Goblin.

add motley crue, buckcherry and hardcore superstar to that list and you got yourself a pretty cool line up to see.

Wasnt and still not gonna bother this year. Too many other events coming up.
Might be going to V festival if i get complimentary tickets.

Gonna miss it but still, always next year. Met some great people at Download last year.

Thanks :P ;D

I said people! :D

I also met a Zombie type stoner thing from Manchester! :smoking:

Really?  I live near Manchester, hey if i'd of met him we could of become stoner brothers...maybe i'll see him this year, although i'm on the straight and narrow now so i don't think we'll get along :)

As I was looking at the Sunday schedule at this huge billboard and a security guy asks me who I'm looking forward to seeing.

I answered "GN'R" and then he proceeds to ask me if I'm German!

I told him that I wasn't and then he added I should switch to be a British citizen.....  :confused:


And no I didn't wear any uniform that might've fooled him!  :P



/jarmo

That would be that little moustache just under your nostrils you wore especially for the occasion!  :D

Nein, that's not true!



/jarmo

Ja it was.  ;)
I didnt get the knee length silver boots though!  :P

im glad to hear from my friends mcr got bottled straight away

even the screens showing a repeat of their set the next day got bottled aparently :confused:

lmao thats awesome, mcr suck!

after watching the stream I decided I have to go to download next year  :drool: who's with me!?  ;D

id wait until the line up it announced first

I was 4-5 rows from the front for Iron maiden until someone came over the top of me kickin me in the head and nearly knocking me clean out but until then it was amazin if a tad over populated, i think ill head back next year, with a creash helmet. And bottles of piss suck if your going to piss then piss on the floor. ;D

when was the last time that download had a crappy line-up? ;)

almost everytime, they only ever have a FEW decent bands

Download was great Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver & Orange Goblin were all on top form!  Studio wise Revolver have never really impressed me but live they really do excel, even then new songs which i did not recognise sounded very good.  As for Crue & Maiden it was great to see them both for the first time, both had solid setlists and it was good having Crue on the 2nd stage, made it much more up close and personal..

Damone, Wolfmother, Dragonforce, Satelitte Party, Megadeth, Bowling For Soup were also a lot of fun, the only low point (beside by hangover on Sunday...) was Hardcore Superstar not showing up :rant:  Their damn coach fucked up in Germany or something....

As for the person wanting to go, yeah you should it's a great time, wonderful experience, great atmosphere and generally you will like at least a few of the headliners and on the other stages you get the chance to experience plenty of new bands, this was my 4th Download and i have loved 'em all.

Over the years they have had Megadeth, Slayer, Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Black Sabbath, Iggy Pop, Motley Crue.  They always pull out some very good acts and normally when there is an act on one stage you don't like you still have two other stages to view as well as a beer tent! ;D

omg hardcore superstar didnt make it? THAT SUCKS

A few notes on Download 2007:

My highlights, musically speaking were Velvet Revolver, Motley Crue and Iron Maiden, even if I had already seen all three bands before. Iron Maiden were huge, and a perfect ending for the weekend. Anyone knows where to download the gig? Being at the front, a little girl like me, you don?t see that much really. I was busy trying to avoid getting kick on the legs, with no much success too? Still fun though.

Orange Goblin were the loudest gig I?ve ever been too. And I?ve been to a fair amount of them. Granted I?m yet to see Motorhead? They toned it down a bit later, but the first 15 minutes were pretty intense. Maybe it was the place where we were standing, right in front of the left speakers, I don?t know, but my whole body was shaking and my heart was pounding so hard that I really thought I would have to get out. I survived.

Big shame Hardcore Superstar didn?t make it. I was also sorry to miss Marilyn Mason, but we wanted to get to the front for Motley Crue on the Dimebag Stage so we decided to give Marilyn a miss. But instead we got to see Satellite Party which was fun, much better than I was expecting.

A funny thing about My Chemical Romance (no, not that? ;) ) I read on the Download myspace I think it was, that the organisers asked them to finish earlier (they were done by 10 pm? ??? ) in order to avoid a clash with Korn fans, since Korn were still playing on the second stage.

We caught the end of Suicidal Tendencies on the third stage. This is a band that I had never really bothered about before, even if a have one of their cd?s lying around somewhere, but they did a really cool thing asking fans to get on stage with them at the end of their set.

Evanescence and Within Temptation?. Hmmm? no, I can?t get into them. Besides, I?m not into women, so I don?t have that special ?reason? to go see them.

Of all the unknown bands we saw, Damone was the best one for me:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=2849097

For those people thinking about going, I?ll say definitely go for it. As Stoned said there?s bound to be at least a few bands you?ll like, and it?s not only the music, it?s the whole weekend experience, the whole atmosphere. Yes, Donington will always be a very special place for me.

Three days of beer, Jack Daniels and Rock N?Roll. Weird, it feels like it was only like a couple of hours?

And, as a wise man once said: ?You know you are drunk when you find yourself dancing to My Chemical Romance?? :rofl:

Funny that. I've never been able to dance to Chemical Romance.....shag yeh, but dance....

Yeah there are also no excuses for selecting them on the jukebox either. And @ Stolat sorry but how the fuck do you shag to that shit.     

With heaps of dramatic impact dude!

sorry if its already been posted

great vid though

That's a lot of bottles.  ;D

hey you forgot the musical wonders that where Napalm death with there 40 min long song with stops every 5mins to talk to the crowd how the fuck they have been around 27 years i will never know

Great MCR video BTW shame i might have to see them on Sunday

brilliant, absolutely fucking brilliant.

donnington crowd you did me proud this year.

Thank you very much, kind sir? :D


Oh dear, true, how could I forget? I enjoyed it, but only because I was standing right next to the bar? :beer:


That made me laugh... But I'm going to be the sensible one here: people could had been hurt. With that said, I hope the organisers learn something from this: MCR can not headline Download

The bottles looked mostly plastic, to me.  The only thing to be hurt are fragile emo egos.   :'(

Nope even the empty ones can hurt a bit, the ones with some liquid left in can really hurt, ive been on the recieving end of a few, and seen many other fall to the ground in pain at a heavier one.

But as far as concert injuries go, "hit in head with empty plastic bottle" isn't a war story you tell your buddies about.   :hihi: 

Hurt because the liquid makes them heavier, or hurt because of what the liquid is :P

XDD imagine

you know the scene in platoon where he gets shot and falls to his knees arms up in the air?

imagine an emo doing that with a crowd of people throwing bottles at him screaming "gerard NOOOO"

Yeah the spray of warm liquid is a major hazzard,  :-X

and disgusting, i was so glad the one aimed at me was sealed tight, and that i caught it was a piece of luck as well.  ;D

I bet that's what the person stood behind you thought :D

Me and anythinggoes and boy do we look happy, but hey we were watching one of the best bands of ALL time :D
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/TheStonedMaids/10.jpg)

Just realised the torrent link before for Maiden was just a audio, the vid of it is here..http://www.mininova.org/tor/746489

Boy, do I look drunk in there....? :nervous:


This was just arriving, a bit more decent.... just a bit


(http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m318/Graciela_020/02.jpg)

Damm, I knew I had lost some weight, but didnt know how much till I saw this pic. I better start eating again...



:headbanger: NAPALM DEATH!! NAPALM DEATH!! :headbanger:

Napalm fucking rule.
Did they play "Die"?

Epic track.

They were better when Lee Dorrain was lead singer in the eighties. Of course, he went onto bigger and doomier things.

Well im sorry but all the songs sounded the same so fuck knows what they played, i didnt hear anything that sounded remotley epic

It was most definately epic, what else do you call a 40 minute song :P

Die actually lasts about 1 second.
 :drool:

Damm you guys! How could you have missed that?? :rofl:

I've just remembered something: Being a Led Zeppelin fan, I also enjoyed the female Led Zeppelin cover band: Lez Zeppelin. And, yes, that's exactly what it was: A female Led Zeppelin cover band ? :hihi:


Oh, btw, I already got my next year's ticket, so there, you've been warned? :P

Oasis and Westlife are headlining. Im there!

Aye, me too. After watching the highlights last night and reading this thread, i really fucking missed it.
Yeah next years a banker i think.

Wish i wasnt going to Lowlands in Holland and i had chosen download now.

Hindsight.

Wonderful news... Hey! I just had a great idea! Lets meet up!? ? ? :P

Surely the earliest planned meet in history.

Really?? ::)


But, seriously, I have a strong feeling about AC/DC next year. Yeah, I know they are always on the rumours lists, but I think next year will be the one. That alone is enough reason for me to go

Yeah, that would be immense. The one band i havent seen live who i would love to see live.
Oh, and whilst your throwing around rumours? Any chance you can start a WASP are playing Download 2008 one?

Whilst not confirmed they have been whispers that WASP may play download in 2008. Ok

No. Because every time I'm supposed to go and see them, something happens that fucks it up for me. It's a curse. Go figure...

Awesome. Headlining?  :D

Hahahaha, brilliant....  :-X

Nope 2nd before ACDC on the Sunday, Kiss are headling the Saturday, Slipknot on Friday.

Now wouldnt it be funny if that really did happen

Now, all you need to do is get Warrant, Poison and Skid Row on there and i would be one happy chappy.
Oh and Funeral For a Friend of course!  :-*

You are out of luck, Muse for Friday? :hihi:

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_tours/acdc_muse_foo_fighters_to_headline_download_2008.html

What was it a said to you on the steps at Wembley

"Do you think they could play Download"

"oh no" You said, well i think thats what you said what with my hearing problem.


So

Muse
Foo Fighters
ACDC

I think ill be getting my ticket as well

Well, yes, I did say it, I'm not sure how well the Download crowd would welcome Muse.... And it'll be a shame because I like them, specially after the hell of a show they put on yesterday. But, after reading the Download message board, maybe my fears are unfounded

Maybe a lot better than they welcomed My Chemical Romance,

Muse - Good Solid Experimental Rock Band

MCR - Piece of Emo Turd better suited to the under 14s with depression disorders

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Muse headlining on Friday. I just don't want them getting bottled like fucking MCR...

And idiots like me.   :-[

As for the My Chemical Romance hating.....i wasn't the only one from this board singing and dancing to them :P

13 pages!!!? :o


Ok, ok, guilty!? ;D? But on my defence I have to say that I was drunk... And the song kinda reminds me of something: "I don't love you like I did yesterday"... or something...

Anyway, I did an experiment yesterday: I wasn't drunk and my feet didn't move....

Liar!

 :P


/jarmo

But it was killing you not being able too knowing id laugh at you if you did

As if...? ;D I only did it with Stoned because he didn't have a camera. No way I'm doing it going with you with all your electronic equipment



Promise!  :-X

He he he Naughty schoolboy snigger


Nope i can vouch for her being of sound mind and body, same could not be said of Saturday night though.

Shes on the Nightrain? ;D

(http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m318/Graciela_020/117_1729_r1.jpg)


Oh, this is off topic, isnt it?

Ok, I want Muse, NIN and AC/DC headlining

I must be an idiot too!

But you see, I was born in the 1970s - so I'm too old to slash my wrists at this stage of the game........and yet I love this band! It's got soul.

 >:(

Seriously. Check out their first album. Got some good songs on it.

Dream lineup for next year....

Friday - Down
Saturday - Black Label Society/ AC/DC
Sunday - WASP

Oh and Jarmo, i have seen Timberlake live as well in my quest to take in a varied and ecclectic plethora of musical dimensions. And his live show, although not my particular cup of tea music wise, well, its really good.  :-[

Yes, I'm giving a thumbs up to Justin too  : ok:
Good music.......Its got soul......he is sexy......

Beautiful, you found your soul mate...


I think you are onto a winner there, although not headlining. Well, not the main stage, probably the Dimebag one which would be cool

Me and Justin - whodda thought!  :D

At 36-37 years old She may be a tad too old  ;D

36-37!!! ::)...... I'm always mistaken for a twenty something anyway.......(so annoying!)

Sorry i may of misread one of you posts you put 1970s not 1970

I apoligise if i have aged you somewhat  ;D

That's still 'mam to you, young man!  :smoking:

Nope. Never ever write anything off. Its a number.



Do you know something i dont? That would be amazing. My favourite live band EVER.

And it's amazing what a fine set of genes can do!  ;D

Yeah Levis can knock years off a person  :P

Ha!


I know they wanted them for this year's but they couldn't make it because of the Heaven and Hell tour in Canada. Next year with new album is a sure bet



I thought you weren't talking to me....?

Talk about musical dimensions!

 :nervous:



/jarmo

Well, you like Kylie so shhhhhh!  ;)

Graciela, i have seen no news of Downs new album apart from them working on it and tentative song titles on Wikipedia.
I love them!

Oh and regarding the smallest text in the world....

You only live once, i am sorry for everything. I'd like to see you before Download next year to say that to your face.

On a public message board...

Not the music.....

 :hihi:



/jarmo

Nope You Like This

(http://www.scifidesktop.org.uk/WallpaperStore/Actresses/=Others/Other/Kylie_Minogue_001.jpg)

Ha imagine Kylie at Download 2008

What fun

Seeing Jarmo Drooling  :drool:

Filthy old man! ?:-*

Know what you mean, not my cup of tea really but i wouldnt kick her out of bed for farting. :D

I'm the filthy old man? I'm not the one who went to a Justin Timberlake show to look at teenage girls!

 :no:



/jarmo

Wrong. I went to see Justin!  :-*

You say that but only because the girls didn't pay any attention to you....




/jarmo

Well in the "Dance Club" section which is like a round bar going all the way round the stage, where they serve drinks and have dancers on the bar, teenagers werent allowed. I was a bit gutted but still, i got over it....






...When Justin invited me backstage.
 :drool:

He is pretty sexy now isn't he!  ;D

Who?

 Jarmo?

It's Justin who brought sexy back!

Nope. He nicked that idea off Jarmo.

Really?!!  :o

Download 2008? Monster Magnet & Orange Goblin 'nuff said :yes:

Now that would be immense.
 :smoking:

I had never heard of Orange Goblin, until they were brought up in this thread.  But their clips on last.fm sound pretty good.

Seen em twice. Once in Rock City basement in Nottingham. I couldnt hear for 2 days afterwards.
One in The Purple Turtle in Camden.
Amazing, Amazing live show.

Check out Coup De Grace and Thieving From The House Of God. Two of my fave albums ever!

Why am i looking forward to next year already?

Ah! I might be wrong, of course, but I read somewhere that the album is been made and that they are aiming for a summer release

That's probably Westlife.....





/jarmo

Nope not them got this in my email a few days ago from the fan club


To -     anythinggoes@o2.co.uk

14 June 2007

Stephen here is your monthly Westlife Update

At the moment the guys are taking a well-earned break after their mammoth international tour.

Nicky, Kian, Shane and Mark are all on holiday recharging their batteries, but will be back soon with some exciting new projects - we'll keep you posted!

You're a very disturbed individual.  :no:

Have some Guinness!



/jarmo

Just listened to The Big Black, and I'm really diggin' their stuff!  Most stoner stuff (metal or rock) doesn't do it for me.  Could never get into Electric Wizard, for example, but this is right up my alley!

Electric Wizard are more sludge han stoner. Sound a lot grimier and less melodic. With that being said...i like them!

Everyone should enjoy stoner.

i like older stoner bands like kyuss over newer ones like monster magnet or nebular.

Great album, the track Scorpionica is one of my fave songs of all time, classic!

Back to the bands for Download next year, Silvertide, Sebastian Bach and a reformed (i can but hope) Ugly Kid Joe, they'd be cool additions to.

Cinderella   (No chance  :no:)

well, the guitarist and the bassist fell out so i doubt thats gonna happen anytime soon

Even if they hadn't aren't they as uselss as Poison when it comes to visiting this country...

Yeah, I know. Fuckers!  :rant:

We'll have to go to America one of these days

To see Poison?

 :nervous:




/jarmo

Yes

The card you fill in on the plane over says "I am not gonna take part in any immoral activities (including Poison concerts)".

You need a special permit if you wanna go see them.

From the Ministry of Sanitation.



/jarmo

I filled that application in back in my big hair days  :P

yeah the yanks seem to get it all still....

and the swedish do now, cause they have balls and good music over there and appreciate rock music properly.

sweden rock festival line up looked amazing

You consider Cinderella and Poison to be good?  C'mon, you can't genuinely mean that man!!!!

Come on Martin. We all know Cinderella is the reason you got into music in the first place.  :yes:

Or was it Winger?

Hmm, maybe it was Slaughter....

Man this is confusing I'm sure it was Cinderella but maybe it was Pretty Boy Floyd after all.





/jarmo

Good no, Great yes :P

The only reason ANYONE got into music was Bon Jovi - and that is the truth!

Jon invented music.  :hihi:



/jarmo

Si, Si! There was Mario Lanzo, Luciano Pavrotti, Frank Sinatra and Bon Jon!

Hell Yeah I did  ;D ;)

funny maybe if youd listened to cinderella youd see they wernt very much like those other bands at all, only by image on there first album.

I like Poison cos they are fun, with catchy tunes. I'm sure I would enjoy one of their shows.

Cinderella is a completely diferent story: I consider them to be a pretty good band. If only people could get past their name and image....

Cinderella

And for me as much as it pains me to say Poison Win id rather see them

Like The Ramones?

Or like Spinal Tap?

 :hihi:




/jarmo

Although i like Cinderella, The Ramones are way way better. Pioneers i tell thee...

Why has no one mentioned Quiet Riot?

Because no-one like them ??  ;D

I do.



Are you making fun of The Ramones too?

Shut up, you dont count your Spanish  ;D :P

No, just trying to figure out in which sense Poison are funny.


Personally I think The Ramones were a fun band with catchy songs. But in a good way.


Poison is a band with some catchy songs but they're funny for the other reason.


But then again, I think many would say Justin Timberlake has catchy songs too....... And Kylie.



/jarmo

Ok, Jarmo  :-*

I just never understood why as a GN'R fan you're supposed to like bands like Poison, Motley Crue etc.


I always liked GN'R because they stood out from that scene.




/jarmo

I agree, both in terms of sound and image.  But I think if you look at that scene, you see that there really is a great variety in the music, if not the image.  GNR's sleazy rock, Motley's metal-tinged rock, Poison's glam-pop, Cinderella has a strong blues influence...they're all quite distinct (though there are a number of bands doing it each different way).  So I can certainly see why, in terms of sound, one wouldn't have to be fans of all those bands.  If you're a fan due to some image...well, in my opinion that's just not a worthwhile reason to be a fan, as the current state of the music industry illustrates far too well. 

EDIT: By the way, I've seen both Poison and Cinderella on multiple occasions (hell, Poison tours every summer, and it's a cheap ticket!).  Cinderella put on a great live show, and Tom Kiefer's still got a good set of pipes. 

For me it wasn't an image thing.

When I got into GN'R I didn't know about the other bands, but then as I got into GN'R and music in general, all these other bands' names started popping up and you saw them on Headbanger's Ball.


I never got into the others just because they were from the same scene. GN'R was just ahead of them all.

Still are.


Instead of listening to bands like Poison, Faster Pussycat, Motley Crue and so on, I went back in time and started listening to Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols...



/jarmo

I started listening to GNR after they played FarmAid, but didn't really start listening to their LA Strip contemporaries too much until the last 8 or 9 years.  I think the overwhelmingly low quality of popular music drove me to look for older stuff, both from that scene and from what would generally be referred to as "classic rock."  Of course, the internet has made it much easier to seperate the quality music from the junk, so I'm not quite as disappointed with modern music (though I'm overwhelmingly disappointed with big industry music).  One listen to Gov't Mule should convince anyone that there are still talented people making great music, if you know where to look.

Who said that?  ???



I always list my top favourites bands as this:

GNR
Led Zeppelin
Rolling Stones
AC/DC

But I don't understand why I can't listen to Poison, Motley Crue or Cinderella from time to time  ???


My little cousin likes the Black Eyed Peas, should I dishonour her?  ???

Maaany people think so


you can :D
Yes.

Do you read this board at all?

Or didn't you ever notice that many GN'R fans listen to those bands?



It seems more likely that a GN'R fan listens to Poison than Mark Lanegan.

It's also more likely that a GN'R fan will like Motley Crue than Kraftwerk.




Who says you can't?





If that makes you feel better, go ahead.  : ok:


Amazing how defensive you get just because some of us don't like Poison.  :hihi:



/jarmo

What about Abba

Can i still listen to Abba

Thats all i need to know

I fit both stereotypes! 


Pretty sure that's against the rules.  Look for the Vatican to issue the 10 Rock N' Roll Commandments, early next week.

naah man, u gotta listen to A*teens

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UJC-zk6Coc&mode=related&search=

 :-\

Ask the person who told Graciela she can't listen to Poison.  : ok:





/jarmo

I thought that was you  :-\

I'm saying nothing? :-X

Obviously you can't say anything because I never said you can't listen to them.

It's logic.

You got defensive because I posted something you didn't agree with and then you made some shit up in your mind.



So I ask both of you to please quote me where I said you can't listen to Poison and we'll go from there.  : ok:





/jarmo

why not listen to all those bands ;)

they all have there own qualities

Still waiting for these two to work together and find the damn quote....





/jarmo

Might as well discuss some ABBA in the meantime........ ::)

Every Rose has its thorn.... :rofl:


I like Poison, and i have to say Jarmo, i am not happy that you said i cant listen to them. Its just not fair.  :D

I'm with Jarmo the dictator on this one.

Ban everyone who listens to Poison, Cinderella, Quiet Riot, or any of the other bullshit stuff in that genre!

and the registered members goes from 8100 all the way down to 1000

well done Martin? ;D

why not just ban people into emo.

Yep, good idea - get rid those fools too!

There would be no message board.

there would, it would be an mcr free zone!

i second this motion

Yeah, seems like it.

Apparently I've said things but, surprise surprise, none of these people can manage to find the damn quote.  ::)




/jarmo

oh ok then

ABBA was a Swedish pop music group active from 1972 until 1982. The quartet topped charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. They remain a fixture of radio playlists and continue to sell albums. The group has reportedly sold more than 370 million records.

ABBA was the first pop group from mainland Europe to enjoy consistent success in the charts of the Anglophonic world (mainly the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Republic of Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand), and its enormous popularity subsequently opened the doors for other Continental European acts.




PS i think you took my post too seriously  ;)

Not really, I just assumed you could help the poor person who was confused about what I said to find the damn quote.  :P




/jarmo

Well im sure she can talk for herself, but i dont think she was directing towards a quote just speaking in general, about the views and attitudes of people and their stereotyped musical tastes

So ABBA are playing Download next year without the emos?? Am I close?

No, it's a tribute band!




Sure.  :-*






/jarmo

sounds about right!

No!


It's supposed to be a secret


/jarmo

oohhh in that case

The gig will infact, be a emo only line up next year!

You are the moping queen, young and mean, just an emo teen

I'm there. :smoking:

On another note, I think an emu-only line-up would be funnier.

Think Jarmo's been hanging around Booker too much lately.  :hihi:

Explain.


 ;D


/jarmo
