The Bard Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Yeah, I don't think Offspring should be headlining at Donnington tbh. Still...it's a fuckload better than My Chemical Romance. I'm pretty sure we're gonna get the usual lot this year though: Mastodon Megadeth Metallica Trivium Machine Head Slayer Lamb of God Killswitch Engage I'll be surprised if most of these don't play this year.

Davey_T Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Download stopped being a metal festival like 2 years ago. To be fair its never really been a metal festival. Theres always a few metal bands but the majority is just rock/punk stuff Metallica wont play as they headlined in 06. The rest as probable but hope leeds and reading get a few Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Why do we need both Metallica and Trivium... Matt Heafy tries to be Hetfield too much :/ Saying that though, it's only their newer album I don't really like. Ascendancy and Ember to Inferno were both brilliant imo.

The Bard Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 For sure, Ember to Inferno robbed a ridiculous amounts of riffs, but was still great, Ascendancy was one of the best albums of the year, but there was only one song that I found listenable on The Crusade; the title track. They're a promising band though. You realise they're at the age now, that Metallica were at when they released Kill 'Em All. I'd be cool with them not playing though, already seen them three times. Now what would be awesome would be Opeth...hell yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The only time I enjoyed Trivium live was before The Crusade in the Islington Bar Academy when they were playing as 'Ember and the Infernoes' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The only time I enjoyed Trivium live was before The Crusade in the Islington Bar Academy when they were playing as 'Ember and the Infernoes' i have also seen them play as ember and the infernoes at a barfly. far better than the other times seeing them live. thebard hit on the big problem with download - there are only so many suitable bands around, so you go twice and you have seen pretty much every band who will be there for the next few years.

The Bard Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 The only time I enjoyed Trivium live was before The Crusade in the Islington Bar Academy when they were playing as 'Ember and the Infernoes' You went to see that? Cool. Musta been pretty crowded. And for fucks sake Kiss are the worst band ever, nothing more than a shameless gimmick. Seriously, go away. Nobody cares.

Zell Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hahahahaha. They suck. Like you've no idea... Huge. Even more than Bon Jovi. Or Motley Crue. *Shudder* Glam... *shudders* Anyway, I don't think The Offspring should really be headlining Download, but I love em to bits and think they're brilliant. Smash will always be one of my favourite records. I know it's hard for them to get decent headliners, but I think that Lost Prophets and The Offspring are just unsuitable, probably good for Reading though. Kiss, I don't like, but I can see their appeal. Can't argue with the Priest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightwolf Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Trivium follow metallica because they wish to be the new metallica, I saw trivium a few years back and they were great, crap now though so I won't be going to see them at download, will see metallica because I've never seen them. I was reading the download forums and one of the admins said something about how it's never been classed as a metal festival because it had bands that weren't metal in the line-up. Either way as long as some good bands go then the experince of going will make-up for the rest. Plus 18th birthday after woohoo. No we can't turn it into a kiss picture thread. -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog-amoto Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Motley Crue and Bon Jovi aren't glam. Maybe the Crue's first album was, but stuff like Shout at the Devil and Dr Feelgood is hardly glam. They've moved on since then. I went twice when it was Donington Monsters of Rock. Once when Aerosmith headlined and the other when it was Metallica. Not been since it was Download. Too many new bands - makes me feel old! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Rise Against? Motorhead? I get the feeling this year is gonna be great! EDIT: Fear Factory and Coheed and Cambria! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
