SupraStar 3000 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Anyone going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hopefully going, line up is excellent this year, only thing that would make it perfect would be metallica headlining. Download organisers must have been beaten to them by the Sonisphere organisers. Tickets were going for ridiculous prices on ebay last week, I'm hoping they will drop as the festival nears. If all else fails I'll just drive down and hopefully get tickets from genuine festival goers with a spare ticket and not touts. Unless anyone on here knows of any tickets going for a reasonable price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin1982 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'm going but didnt fancy camping (or rather leaving the Supra in the campsite car park) so staying at the Holiday Inn near the airport! Not exactly festival spirit but meh lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Nope... ..but I am going to the crappy IOW festival next weekend to watch a bunch of bands I don't want to see... I'm only going for Pixies and Neil Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'd like to think that you couldn't pay me enough money to go and watch the kinds of bands that associate themselves with events like this. If you'd like to test my theory by donating cash in multiples of £10 we'll see at what level I turn into a hypocrite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly festival spirit but meh lol We will be going home each night! Caroline does not drink and it's only a couple of mins drive. Means I can still have a few too.

Viv Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'll be there even though I'm only really going to see Hatebreed and Meshuggah. I guess it will be funny to see a few of the other bands from the "Nu-Metal" days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1982 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Really looking forward to seeing Volbeat, just hope they don't clash with Journey lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 To those that went, did you all survive and enjoy yourselves? I thought it was excellent and will be going next year. Every band (except Manson) really gave it all and a great atmosphere too hah hah, and the crowd was ace,.. if not a little quirky! For once, I didn't feel like the biggest idiot in the village LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 IOW was good too, if the crowd were a little more leary than your average festival goers... I blame their 'no fires and no drugs policy'. Whatever next? no music? Pixies/Maccabees/Prodigy/Maximo all did it for me this weekend Glad you had a good one too Ed... what were your highlights?

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Lucha Britannia, 1/2 naked ladies and boob flashers. No, seriously mate, ... Prodigy, Pendulum, SlipKnot, Devil Driver, Five finger Death Punch, Korn, Staind all sounded great. Shame about the turds in socks flying about tho LOL about the volume seemed very quiet compared to other gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st3ven1 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well, got my tickets when they released the extra 1200 tickets nine days before the festival Highlights: Slipknot, koRn, Dragonforce(and their beer nurses;)) motley crew, Pendulum and village "bell" & "end" tents:D Lowlights: Manson seem like he didn't want to be there and it showed:( Managing too stay sunburn free until the drive home! Scorching weather all weekend, with a tiny bit of rain last night to send everyone to their tents at a reasonable time and stop lighting fires. All in all, an excellent download.

Viv Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I had a really good time. Faith No More were the highlight of the weekend for me. Hatebreed, God Forbid, Opeth and Meshuggah were also brilliant. I hope next year they include a few more death metal bands like Suffocation,Cryptopsy, Obituary etc... I'm off to Hellfest in Clisson, France on the 18th. Hopefully that should be just as good.

martin1982 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Lawnmower Deth and Steel Panther brought some decent banter for me! As for Manson, that guy really needs to lay off the coke. Saw him a few years back at Wembley Arena and he was awesome, but both times he's played download have been a waste of time. Anyone get attacked by wasps on the 2nd stage?

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 there was a nest at the 2nd stage. In the end security had to corner the area off from the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 did anyone see the bottle fight before prodigy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin1982 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 did anyone see the bottle fight before prodigy That looked a lot of fun. Unfortunately I got dragged to see Slipknot by the Mrs, although managed to sneak off and Watch Prodigy when she went for a mosh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I went there when it used to be Ozzfest; in 2001. Was totally awesome and was the first time I saw Tool, which was pretty damn cool. I'm not a fan of those bottle fights... one of my friends god a glass bottle on the eyebrow which then bled everywhere! That was during mushroomhead.

I dont mind them, as long as they stick to plastis bottles lol Remember a few years ago in the bottle fight before Metallica @ Download, someone was throwing those huge gallon bottles filled with rocks. That wasn't fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 That sounds like my kind of show. Putrid Pile are an amazing band. Collection Of Butchery is a brutal album. The new album is not so great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
