Well I have Korn and Limp Bizkit to take me back to when I was 16...17 and had awful music taste, few beers and its all good. :beer: Def Leppard and Whitesnake, classic acts who I like but have never had the chance to see. And Motley Crue, classic act, who I saw there a few years ago and really enjoyed 8) As for the rest, I either don't know them....or don't want to :D Edit: I tell a lie, I like Dragonforce as well. :headbanger: Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: slash666 on February 13, 2009, 02:40:06 PM I like Dragonforce as well. :headbanger: ...We're no longer friends! :hihi: Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on February 13, 2009, 09:15:59 PM best line up downloads ever had.
But surely the Crue are bigger than Whitesnake and Def Leppard? Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: norway on February 14, 2009, 03:10:21 AM Looking forward to Motley Crue and The Prodigy :headbanger: Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Izzy on February 15, 2009, 07:51:03 AM Great line up

Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Is he struggling? on February 15, 2009, 11:18:06 AM It's amazing. All of my least favourite bands together on one bill.
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on February 15, 2009, 12:55:12 PM Great line up The General public have moaned about the festivals decline in quality for years. With all the emo bands they put on. So im sure either the same amount will complain still. Or it will fix the issue :)...but as much as i love Def Leppard, Whitesnale and Motley Crue - the general public dont With this other metal festival in Knebworth - whats going on? I hope anyway. Motley Crue had a big crowd draw last time they played. Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Dayle1066 on February 15, 2009, 05:23:42 PM Crue were fuckin amazing in that tent in 07 :beer: add onto that the fact that buckcherry and VR played the day before made it an amazing weekend for me. Dont know if Motorhead, Priest and then Kiss in one afternoon in 08 topped it or not, my head exploded with excitement lol

Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: babydolls on February 16, 2009, 08:27:09 AM ^^ exactly Donnington 2006 was a fkn brilliant line-up.
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on February 16, 2009, 10:23:58 AM best line up downloads ever had. tool, metallica, guns. and they will never get anything close to that quality again. tool = epicly boring metallica ... good music but i wouldnt really wanna see them live. Not the most entertaining of shows Guns = Great live band, but ive already seen them so thats ok. Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: PJ on February 16, 2009, 10:29:04 AM best line up downloads ever had. tool, metallica, guns. and they will never get anything close to that quality again. this years line up sucks hard.. the only ok band is slipknot Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Verse Chorus Verse on February 16, 2009, 02:30:09 PM best line up downloads ever had.

Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: CheapJon on February 17, 2009, 11:27:53 AM metaltown in sweden has a better line up for a better price :)
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on February 17, 2009, 06:25:11 PM Well Sweden has all the good new bands doesnt it.
Sweden actually knows what rock music is still. Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: CheapJon on February 20, 2009, 12:54:49 PM ZZ top, Marilyn Manson and killswitch engage added to the line up
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Hammy on February 20, 2009, 03:17:05 PM ZZ top, Marilyn Manson and killswitch engage added to the line up I wouldn't mind seeing Manson, so 1 out of 3 ain't bad. :DTitle: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: CheapJon on February 20, 2009, 03:20:20 PM ZZ top, Marilyn Manson and killswitch engage added to the line up I wouldn't mind seeing Manson, so 1 out of 3 ain't bad. :DTitle: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Hammy on February 20, 2009, 05:02:00 PM ZZ top, Marilyn Manson and killswitch engage added to the line up I wouldn't mind seeing Manson, so 1 out of 3 ain't bad. :DWith ZZ Top I know they are deemed legendary/classic, but I've only heard like one song by them and I wasn't too thrilled. I'm holding out for additions like Monster Magnet and Hardcore Superstar and on the smaller stages, up close and personal I always prefer, the problem with the main stage is you could crash a plane between the front of the stage and front barrier. Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on February 20, 2009, 06:25:46 PM ZZ top, Marilyn Manson and killswitch engage added to the line up are you serious?Thats it. IM GONNA GO TO DOWNLOAD Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Graciela on February 21, 2009, 05:37:27 AM A lot will come down to who collides with who. With 3 stages I often have to miss out on acts I want to see Manson was one last Download I was at or the one before even, I forget. We missed Manson in 2007 because we wanted to get to the front in the tent for Motley Crue, remember? Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: anythinggoes II on February 21, 2009, 06:06:21 AM Well lets hope he doesnt clash with anyone this time

I'd assume Manson and Korn are more popular than Faith No More... ??? Did they even play arenas when they were together? I guess the novelty of a reunion helps though. /jarmo Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: ppbebe on March 02, 2009, 04:57:16 PM the headliners at Download are to be treated to boos and piss bottles. Good luck.
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on March 03, 2009, 08:27:44 AM the headliners at Download are to be treated to boos and piss bottles. Good luck. why? surely Billy Talent and Devil Driver will receive most of them first for sucking uber ass. Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: GNRFAN20 on March 03, 2009, 10:28:15 AM Faith No More is the best headliner of the festival.
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: jarmo on March 03, 2009, 12:23:12 PM Faith No More is the best headliner of the festival. I agree, and that also says a lot about the line up in my opinion.... /jarmo Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Gunner80 on March 03, 2009, 12:34:26 PM the headliners at Download are to be treated to boos and piss bottles. Good luck. People are idiots to do that to any band!!!Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: CheapJon on March 03, 2009, 12:51:12 PM Special guests? are they guests on DL or WS or what?
and istn't Korn and Manson bigger then Def leppard too? Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on March 03, 2009, 12:53:19 PM Special guests? are they guests on DL or WS or what? Def Leppard have one of the biggest selling albums of all time.and istn't Korn and Manson bigger then Def leppard too? So i dont think so Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: CheapJon on March 03, 2009, 01:07:53 PM Special guests? are they guests on DL or WS or what? Def Leppard have one of the biggest selling albums of all time.and istn't Korn and Manson bigger then Def leppard too? So i dont think so i think everybody here knows that man :P but thank you captain obvious i'm not talking about 87 though, bat out of hell sold like 35-40 million but that doesn't mean meat loaf is bigger in 2009 then coldplay for example i'm not saying any of those 2 should headline download but I'm saying that just because DL had some huge albums all that time ago doesn't mean people are that eager to see them now, especially when they haven't released any huge sucess albums as of lately (right?) and have toured pretty frequently the last couple of years eh? also, I'm pretty sure manson and korn would be considered bigger in Sweden then DL but that might differ to England (maybe since they're from there and all) Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: mrlee on March 03, 2009, 07:37:51 PM DL still have a very dedicated fanbase in england.
They have also had a bit of a revival in recent years with people my age, due to songs like pour some sugar on me, and lets get rocked receiving air play once more. Practically, half of the kids in my village have one of their songs on their mobile phone. When i went to see DL tour the arena was full. Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Axls Black Cat on March 15, 2009, 06:25:26 PM I'm still deliberating over whether to go. I've auditioned for a lead part in a play and I've seen all the bands there I want to see - I don't know whether it'll be worth going if I get it... If not I will. I have a feeling that only Axl could make me go if I get this. Crue were brilliant in 07 and so were Buckcherry but good enough to pay out and go again... Hmmmmm. GN'R won't do it again (well I sincerely doubt it - and who can blame them after the hecklers and shit at the 06 gig - phenomenal as they were...)... But I can dream (and do, frequently). ;D
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: anythinggoes II on March 17, 2009, 02:59:33 PM more bands added

What is this world coming to? Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Axls Black Cat on March 18, 2009, 04:47:16 PM Not a fan of the Crue, but they should not be playing below Korn and Limp Bizkit. What is this world coming to? It's a sad and sickening place. :( Last time I saw Crue there I walked past the main stage (Linkin Park :P ) afterwards and some little chick shouted 'Motley Crue Suck' at me before literally ducking behind her bewildered boyfriend. I just laughed at her and said 'Ok - you have a nice night chicky' and winked at her partner. *Shakes head* - why do people feel the need to be ****s like that - just watch your band and be happy - I wasn't being nasty to her - I didn't say anything derogatory about the band she was watching. People. ::) Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: Graciela on March 18, 2009, 06:54:33 PM I don't think Motley Crue are playing below Korn and Limp Bizkit, it looks like they are headlining the second stage
Title: Re: Download Festival 2009 Post by: DJ_bullet on March 26, 2009, 07:29:45 PM I will probably not be there, but if by some miracle I have a decent excuse to go to england, I hope to see Chris Cornell, Opeth, Meshugga, and Loaded all on the main stage (that would make almost everyone I would be coming to see so far on one stage). Either way, I am SO following this on youtube. Amazing lineup.
Anyhow, aside from those four Slipknot, Dragonforce, and Dream Theater would be the ones I'll follow for sure. I might follow Def Leppard (don't know 'em might a few guys recommended them. Plus, a one-armed drummer?), Korn (don't know them but after what happened to there lead singer last year, I can't help but to chear them on), and Motley Crue (only heard one song by them, but I liked what I was hearing(. Anyways, for those guys saying "OMG this isn't as great as the other years!" Keep in mind that the list is only half-complete so far.
