i could of SWORN i saw a website a few years back with "Download USA" on it.

[w.axl.rose]

In 2007 there was a Download Festival in the USA apparently...

Thats a pretty shitty line uo, i gotta say.

[D]

Yeah no shit. that lineup sucks

especially when u compare it to the Sunday Night at DL having Slash,Motorhead,Billy Idol and then STP and Aerosmith.

Holy FUCK

[cotis]

Keep in mind, that was the 2007 USA Download Festival lineup -- since then there hasn't been one.

Don't know if anyone else will care about this but I thought it was worth a shot.

Remember back in 2006 there was a video of all the people leaving during GNR's set at Download? Apparently it was proof that most people hated them. Well this year I left early during AC/DC and saw exactly the same thing happening on the way out.

I suspect the same happens during every headliner, and at a guess the majority of these people are from the other stages, which all finished earlier. The rest (both years) were probably people like me with AC/DC - curious but not big enough fans to stay for the full set.

(Mods sorry if this is in the wrong place, was recommended I put it here rather than in a thread of it's own.)

Amusing.


I've seen people leave at pretty much every concert/festival.


You think everybody at a concert is a hardcore fan that paid for his/her own ticket?

Obviously some people don't care if they miss the last song(s) as long as they can beat the traffic, make it onto the bus/train or whatever.

People have different priorities and it has very little to do with "hating the band"...

people always leave, i did the exact same thing (first time though) when i saw rammstein this weekend just before they started their encore


i did it because i had seem 'em 2 weeks before and was going to meet a very hot chick, not because the show was bad because it was awesome.. as was the girl

u don't really expect us to believe that right?   J/k


Festivals are awesome in theory, on paper.. but to be honest, no matter how awesome a lineup, i just don't know if i could stand for 10 hours watching all that. I'd get pretty burnt out and tired.
