Download festival

[Jack Sabbath]

In 10 days I'm going to Donnington park for the last 2 days of the Download festival and will be seeing Black Sabbath, Velvet revolver, Anthrax, Slayer, Motorhead and Helmet in one weekend! I can't fucking wait. I was hoping that you guys with your collective knowledge could help me choose another band to put on my list. :Spin:

 

[BIGPHAT442]

Biffy Clyro, you'd be surprised if you haven't seen them, very heavy, good songs.
Bullet For My Valentine are also good.

 

[PoolePaul]

would have to be lamb of god and meshuggah

 

[Matt Bello]

Who's the Helmet Bassman for this show?? Not Frank??

I voted for Society 1 coz I saw them in Prague last week and enjoyed their show. They were really bizzare, especially the bass player and the singer (former porn star, that´s what I heard)

The singer, Matt Zane owns a porn company, but I don't know if he's ever been in any flicks. I saw Society 1 on a TV show a few years ago. I thought they sucked ass. I think that's the reason he does the meat hook suspension thing...gotta have something to distract the audience since the music is so bad.

Believe it or not, I really enjoyed their show.

go see the Dwarves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not to be missed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!frekay punk rock with naked chix and midgets................when youre lucky!!!!

 

[DiscipleOfThePit]

Slim pickings...

 

[Jack Sabbath]

Thanks guys, looks like Lamb of god is winning on the poll but I'll probably go see The Dwarves too with that recomendation. 8 days to go!

 

[MyHatred]

Hmm, I would have to say Lamb of God, Mastodon, and the Dwarves(they have former QOTSA Nick Oliveri playing bass). Lamb of God puts on a fucking brutal show!!!! They were in top form when I saw them a month ago so I highly recommend seeing them. Mastodon are no schlumps either(don't like the new album much though) if you want to see a crazy ass drummer that very few can rival, then check them out.

Bands to avoid
Alter Bridge- Generic county fair rock
Society 1- The worst of the bunch
Caliban- They just suck

I like to refer to them as Creed: Redux

 

[Jockthrax]

Lamb of God seem like a good bet, are they on the main stage or a tent?

 

[Jack Sabbath]

4 days!!

 

[DarbysDad]

Who's the Helmet Bassman for this show?? Not Frank??

I think it would be cool to get to see Frank play twice with two different bands in one day.

To be honest I heard it's Geddy Lee

 

[AlexGuinness]

Meshuggah, without a doubt...

 

[Catherine]

Can't wait - looking forward to whole weekend even though quite a few of the bands are not my cup of tea.....i.e. Feeder....Garbage...

The whole experience is amazing and with Anthrax being there it will be even better.

As for the secret band, my money is on either Marilyn Manson or Rammstein.

 

[Gibba]

The Dwarves rule.

 

[dutchy]

They fuckin rule!!!!!!!!!!!!
