dan666 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Download Dog has been giving clues in the last half hour and they all add up to FNM. Neil was once again right. Well done Sir. So. I have not listened to much of FNM, listening to The Real Thing on youtube, Any other reccomendations ppl wanna tell me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 angel dust is a quality album as well, brilliant band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gard Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Bit odd that they are giving the game away this close to the announcement time... Or are they just trying to stop the servers melting come 7:45... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6t6o6m Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Doing it early maybe to make it more of a shock at 7.45 when they are named second stage headline *Disclaimer* - Don't listen to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damagedoor Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I think there's an element of piss-taking for all the leaks there have been through Kerrang and ... well, here. :-) Great news. Can't believe all the people throwing their toys out on the official forums. It must be a thankless task being any band to headline Download that isn't Rammstein, Iron Maiden or Metallica. When one of the dog's clues was '3 Top 10 UK albums', some cretin said that Green Day had 4, which was technically 3. Talk about desperation. Some people will still be saying "Green Day will be on soon" when FNM are tearing the stage a new arse And I bet there are still a few people on there doing the whole "efests saying tbc means nothing" thing.

TYLER_4 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 fair enough people created this hype, but FNM arent worth a countdown? i think sonisphere is where its at this year having said that manson and slipknot are great acts. shame manson isnt headlining friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damagedoor Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 (edited) Faith No More are worth the countdown in my opinion. Bearing in mind that a) the countdown can be explained in other terms than "the greatest band you've ever known" and b ) they hadn't actually announced their reunion until after the countdown began. I trust eFests, but on the L/R section, Neil wasn't sure even after the press release had gone out last week. They're a massive band that nobody was sure was coming. The countdown ... I'm guessing LN knew the furore it would create and loved every second. All the hype = extra hits and extra attention. The core Downloaders - who aren't idiots - will go even if they don't like the final headliner, and all additional attention is good. I mean, I bought my ticket before the first announcement, because there'll always be someone good to watch - but announcing FNM would have sold it to me on them alone. And there must be a fair few people out there like me who hadn't bought their tickets. Given all the hype, I'd say FNM will sell more tickets than Rammstein.

r0w Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 great news! do u think theyl all play in suits again just like on their last tour lol Are they adding any other bands today with it or is it just FNM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparticus Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 faith no more are the deciding factor for me opting for download rather than rock am ring. The download organisers honestly can't win, they've opted to go for a less emo-tastic lineup (probably as it's dawned on them that more 16 year olds want to go to reading/leeds as it has the reputation for being the cool festival, and their festival is bang in the middle of exam season), and aimed for a slightly older audience, yet are still getting lynched. And just incase anyone's wondering, the new my chemical romance song is cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
