Download Festival 2007

[Hammy]

Met some great people at Download last year.

Thanks

I said people!

I also met a Zombie type stoner thing from Manchester!

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..... 


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

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.

almost everytime, they only ever have a FEW decent bands

[Hammy]

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   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!

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:

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??

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.
