Din Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Some bands have been announced for Download 06: Metallica Prodigy Trivium Bullet For My Valentine It was a pretty crap announcement at first but then I heard Metallica were playing it got more interesting. BFMV are totally shit. Prodigy isn't really what I listen to but I don't mind a few songs and I think Trivium are a decent band (going to see them in March). Anyone going?
Ramar Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 I was thinking of going but I think its right in exam time, A levels are far more important than a festival. So I'll probably give it a miss. And out of the four announcements so far I would be most interested in prodigy, but I'm not really a fan.
MunKy Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Metallica - kick ass BFMV - good but getting too much Kerrang! Bummage, its getting to them Trivium - good Prodigy - had Fat of the Land years ago, it was good. I really want KoRn to be there. Its highly likely it fits right in with their tour schedule.
BeerMonkey Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Metallica - Saw at Download 04 played mainly old songs id never heard of but were still amazing...will be watching them again BFMV - Seen at Download before were pretty good....gone off them a bit prob will not see them this time Trivium - Not a fan Prodigy - Got all the albums, got poster on wall...i LOVE the prodigy cant wait to finally see them!!! going there this year with about 10 mates at least and taking LOADS of booze,fags,weed great year.....great year this time.....well providing its sunny this time 05 download was FREEZING!! *wants* My chemical romance, yellowcard, funeral for a friend, SOAD, KORN, deftones/team sleep, iron maiden - any of these will be awesome Missed SOAD last year i was wrecked and stoned in my tent frozen in my sleeping bag
MunKy Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Yes Download 05 was freezing. But I was too drunk to care. I saw SOAD and the crowd was shit. There was so much pushing noone could even make a moshpit. Eventually half the crowd fell over and some big fat dude with dreads put his foot down for stability. On my knee. Had to hobble out the crowd and watch from a distance.
Tom Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 i had heard all the confirms apart from metallica, which will be great! i havnt got my ticket yet, but i will have it by the end of the month, when money is a little better. Mastodon, soulfly, chimaria, inflames and machine head are imo absolutely dead certs to play download this year based on album releases and the fact that they have all played there before. I expect SOAD will also go again, as technically they are still promoting hypnotize, and they clearly like the festival. there are very strong rumours that tool will play - they are headlining the coachella festival and have a new album in the works. if the mars volta played it would potentially be best line up ever
Jack Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I'd go if Tool are playing, but if it's continuing as it is I'll just go to Leeds instead. Basically they should just drop everyone else and just have an Iron Maiden gig.
Platty Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Im not really into heavier stuff to be honest so wont be going to download, however i will wait and see what bands are playing at reading/leeds festival and may well go to that again.
ViPeR Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Prodigy and Metallica? I'm already there, 3rd year running
CooInTheZoo Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Looks like a pretty decent line up so far
Girly hiyaz!~ Gamer Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Not bad....See who else is playing before I decide...
Din Posted February 9, 2006 Author Posted February 9, 2006 Deftones have self confirmed themselves as well ! Great I love Deftones and I've never seen them live. I would love to see: Machine Head (Please, they're f**king brilliant), Chimaira (headline the second stage? that would rule), Tool (Would love to see them live), SOAD (Be great to see them again), Stone Sour (got a new album coming out so it is likely)...and many others I can't be bothered to name. This will be my 3rd year. I still have my wrist bands on from last year
MunKy Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I lost my wrist bands, I was really pissed off when that happened. Stone Sour are pretty much confirmed. Slipknot wont be there this year so SS will instead. Shame though, Slipknot kicked ass last year. I hope SOAD arent there to be honest. Ive really gone off them, I oved Mezmerize but I cant get into Hypnotize. They shouldnt headline anyway. KoRn should, or Metallica.
BeerMonkey Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 please no slipknot :S they have played at download last 2 years (been fantastic both times) but i want a change. Love Korn to play there again as there one of my fav bands and hope ur right bout deftones i love them to bits (saw at 03 download)
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Trivium are the only one I like there. But I won't be going just for them. Metallica may be the most boring live act ever btw.
Daniel Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Metallica are there? im therefore there at the min i live like 10 minms from Donnington so even if i have an exam on the Friday i can come back for it :P Id love to see Deftones and Trivium too. Ill also be off to Leeds again, was awesome last year Iron Maiden rocked!
skarmachild Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 Is there a website? Edit: Never mind, found it.
Tom Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 metallica boring live? i have seen them 3 times (leeds '03, earls court '03 and download '04) and they have been fantastic everytime. Sure, the venues themselves dont have the same intensity of atmosphere that the astoria or somewhere like that has, but the music is great and i think they put on a very good live show. Over the last couple of years i have seen about 150 bands, and a good many of them had no idea how to behave on stage or how to put on a show, but i would never have considered putting metallica in that group.
soag Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Im trying to gather up mates to go with so far no luck, i've been dying to go for years so far all the bands announced are great. Would be an awesome weekend .
Jack Posted February 10, 2006 Posted February 10, 2006 Stone Sour are going to be there? That's a dealbreaker, I'm off to Leeds.
4stringdj Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Tool, 36CF, Stonesour, Soulfly all confirmed to play download!!! Tool has sold it for me! party on!! Hope the DS tent is there again!
Daniel Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 i like tool but dont really see them as a headliner was hoping for someone different, AC/DC had been floating around and i would of much prefered that
MunKy Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 "Guns N' Roses" are confirmed. They are gonna headline Sunday apparently and they don't deserve to. Its not even GN'R anymore, its Axl Rose and random musicians. Its likely Axl won't even turn up so I'm hoping for that.
