Download Festival 2009

[Hammy]

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. 

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 

As for the rest, I either don't know them....or don't want to 

Edit: I tell a lie, I like Dragonforce as well.

I like Dragonforce as well. 

...We're no longer friends! 

[mrlee]

best line up downloads ever had.

But surely the Crue are bigger than Whitesnake and Def Leppard?

[norway]

Looking forward to Motley Crue and The Prodigy

[Izzy]

Great line up

...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?

[Is he struggling?]

It's amazing. All of my least favourite bands together on one bill.

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

I hope anyway. Motley Crue had a big crowd draw last time they played.

Crue were fuckin amazing in that tent in 07 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

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.

this years line up sucks hard.. the only ok band is slipknot

[Verse Chorus Verse]

Can't possibly be, Guns isn't joining them!

[cotis]

I'd give it a go if I lived in the UK, don't think I'll be able to make the trip across the pond...

[CheapJon]

metaltown in sweden has a better line up for a better price

[mrlee]

Well Sweden has all the good new bands doesnt it.

Sweden actually knows what rock music is still.

[CheapJon]

ZZ top, Marilyn Manson and killswitch engage added to the line up

[Hammy]

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.

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.

With 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.
