McPhee Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Thats a pretty good announcement! Come on! Announce Weezer! I'll buy a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somme Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I thought Weezer split up, (again). Or they get back together, (again)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 They got back together, new album out soon. In fact, they never technically split, they went on a 'Hiatus', which is usually code for "we've split up" but in this case was actually "we're taking a break for a few years, Rivers wants to do the Solo thing". Not a great chance of them being added to Download now though, too big a name. The only thing keeping me hopefull is the guy who organises Reading and Leeds said he couldn't book Weezer because they were already booked for Download. That and the rumoured June tour (which looks highly unlikely given it's now May). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowV7 Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Now the chances of me going now are near nothing. Found out i'm not getting anymore of my travel grant, which I was relying on as the money to go to download. Lets see if a miracle will happen now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
or else you will DIE Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 How do you know that? It's a bit late. Plus they are getting ready to release their album. Plus Rivers said they are not going to play any festivals anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Hmm bit worried about going download, it makes me annoyed that I offer lifts to my friend and now she might not be able to get me there because her boyfriend would rather take his mate (i also offered her boyfriend a lift) great stuff >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 So... to go, or not to go? One of my mates is using Download to celebrate his 21st Birthday so he's now trying to get me to go. I can't decide! Already got V and Reading booked and 3 big festivals in one year is mad! On the plus side there's a few bands i want to see that i can't see anywhere else, it'll be a good laugh with much drinkings etc. On the downside it's £150 + travel + expenses (so basically £300--£350) and i've seen most of the bands i want to see before. Gah! On a side note, the site map will be up in the next few days. They've had to change the layout due to complaints about the state the track was left in. It's gonna be nearly a 2 mile walk from camping to the main stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightwolf Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes I heard about the map, it's ridiculoud, though aprpently they've gotten rid of that bridge hill thing when you are wanting to enter camp. I'm definately not going now and it's quite a relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Im still very tempted to go, even more so now i've started listening to some of the bands on Myspace. Stone Gods, Fall Of Troy, Army of Freshmen and Mexicolas are brilliant! Not to mention Skindred! No idea how i've managed to overlook these guys for years! At the end of the day it's about the music, and tbh im liking this years line-up more and more with each band i start listening to (only crappy one so far was Sons Of Albion, no idea how anyone could actually like them!). Having the camp site that far away from the arena isn't that big a deal, in the 5 years i've been doing the festivals i've popped back to my tent during the day twice (once was to put my tent up). A couple of miles in the morning and the same again in the evening certainly isn't going to spoil my enjoyment of the festival. Then again, it'll only take one more problem for me to lose all enthusiasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm abit crazy turning download down, even though she now she'd be able to take me. But I'd rather wait next year again and be going where I feel like I'm not going to be stranded.

MunKy Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Hey, I'm back if anyone remembers me, I tend to blend in the back. Who's going to Download this year? Despite the bitching about the line there are still loads of great bands there. I'm traveling tomorrow for the 2 days of drunken revelry before the festival kicks off proper.
