I wish, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a tour here in the US by the end of the year. First time seeing AA? Word of advice, stretch your neck alot before you go. Your going to have the time of your life.

I know they're big now, but its depressing that Amon Amarth are playing the two of the least metal things this year in Metal Hammer awards and Download.

I'm pleased there a band worth getting excited about this year at download...I can count the bands I really want to see this year on one hand... See you down the front for AA

Yes... I went to Download three years ago and while some of it rocked (Specially Canadian band Strapping Young Lad) the last day of the weekend was a BIG letdown.

I am still trying to shake off the Guns'n'Roses gig... Axl fucks off the stage, leaving his band to play an acoustic version of Chistina Aguilera's "you are beautiful"... And there is a group of big fat bikers singing along... That was treading the very thin line between surrealist funny and downright sad.

And this year, we did not even consider shelling out the price of a day ticket. Add the travel costs, and its not worth it!

hell yeah!

its true the line-up for download isn't great this year. But it's Dongington (luckily only a short trip for me) and I never miss it. Looking foreward to being completely wasted and having a good laugh at the lostprophets headlining sunday!

amon amarth are certainly going to be a highlight tho. and lets not forget Judus Priest!!!!!
