[The 'Official' Seetickets is Shite and I Did Not Get A Ticket Thread!]

I got a RAGE ticket. It's called Download Festival.........

[Mondays announcement]

How about

Rage Against The Machine

Rob Zombie

Alice In Chains

Megadeth

Deftones

[things i have been told.]

I was told today that helium doesn't actually make your voice squeakier, oh no!

Infact, it merely speeds up the soundwaves created by our vocal chords by 7 times, creating a higher pitch.

FACT.

[Mondays announcement]

Ha can't believe he's announced this while the Official Download Forums are down until tomorrow. Surprised we ain't had loads of new users this week

Also could be in the announcement Alice In Chains.

[Mondays announcement]

I really cannot decide on the whole Rage thing.....I really hope they do Download but im feeling a little pesimistic at the moment. My 7 guesses would be:

Rage Against The Machine (Headliner)

Metallica (Headliner)

Mastodon

Lamb of God

Paramore

In Flames

Five Finger Death Punch

EDIT: Ozzy seems to be a pretty solid rumour at the moment, anyone know the justification behind this or is it mere speculation?

[next announcement]

Announcement confirmed for monday via the Download Festival twitter.

[Who else then...]

I think these will play based on rumours:

Alice in Chains

Alestorm

Van Halen

5FDP

Steel Panther

Soundgarden

Not rumoured but just hope they play:

Machine Head

In Flames

Mastodon

The Wildhearts

As I Lay Dying

Evile

[Blink 182]

Not wanting them at Download then Dave?

[Aerosmith?]

Most overated band ever one of for me wouldent be watching if they played...

[Word from within the industry]

2008 sucked donkey dick.....3 headliners 'kiss' who are just dodgy old men dressed as clowns with about 2 good songs, 'The Offspring' who i loved when i was about 15 and have done nothing recently to warrent a headlining slot, shuda played 2nd top at best just as they did in the rest of Europe that year. Then theres 'Lostprophets' who are basically the Backstreet Boys trying to play guitars - the biggest joke of a rock band of the last 20years. The rest of those bands that played in 08 dont really interest me either. 2008=BIG FAIL.

2006 now that was an awsome year. TOOL, Metallica and Guns N Roses headlining with also the likes of Prodigy, Alice In Chains, Deftones, Clutch, Killing Joke & Down! amazing! 2009 was probably the 2nd best with the Reformation of FNM and also Prodigy, Def Leppard etc. Hopefully if we get AC/DC, Soundgarden and then either Metallica or Aerosmith headlling we could be on course to have a festival to top 2006 & that would be mightely awsome!

[Word from within the industry]

I didn't leave them out!

I wouldn't normally pick up on that, but seeing as I'm sat here in an Alter Bridge hoodie I thought I should say something

[Blink 182]

Good

[Exciting gigs to keep you going till next year?]

January ive got Lacuna Coil (Cristina Scabbia...need I say more)

February, Lamb of God, Machine Head, Rammstein, and someone else whose name escapes me.

March I was going to see Slayer but thats been cancelled till god knows when.

April Nothing

May Nothing

June - Rock out with my C0ck out at Download!

[Word from within the industry]

I think Bullet for my Valentine could play, don't think they'll headline.

And as for Download 2008, it was f**king awesome!!

A few Lith left out:

Children of Bodom

Municipal Waste

Amon Amarth

Seether

Alter Bridge

Apocolyptica

Testament

Saxon

Was a fantastic weekend Bring on Download 2010!!

And someone said about 08 lacked the "wow" factor...............KISS???? music isnt exactly my cup of tea but I still thought it was amazing to watch.

[At this rate the headliners could be...]

They're gunna say that though ain't they? ha ha

It will be within the next 5 weeks. I say, won't be later than that.

[At this rate the headliners could be...]

One of Download Festivals twitters today, someone said. "When will the first announcement be?" or something to that effect and the reply was "Very Soon"

Excited!

[At this rate the headliners could be...]

I think;

AC/DC

Metallica

Pearl Jam with very special guests Soundgarden

[Happy New Year to one and all]

I have been very drunk for what seems like a week so I haven't had chance to get on here. Now that the foods settled and my liver has recovered i wish you all a very happy new year! )

How good is this years Download shaping up to be?!? I hope Machine Head play this year!

[AC/DC confirm themselves]

Hope if VanHalen play it's on the Saturday. Then I can watch the England match without missing anyone I want to see!

[2010!]

Is it only me that thinks booking rammstein isn't the best move???...........

Don't get me wrong, i would f**king LOVE to see Rammstein at Download, but considering they're playing in Manchester (which im standing for! ), Birmingham, and have sold out Wembley Stadium, i would have thought a large majority of people who would want to see them would have seen them before the festival.

Agree to disagree, this is just my opinion!

Pantera
