The Black Album is 75 minutes long? Man, I forgot how insanely overwritten that record is.

So is the snake pit the special thing happening Metallica are doing? Seems a bit disappointing, will be awesome for about 20 fans or so, and nothing special for anyone else :/

[2rare2die]

If they are having the snake pit thing at Download, how are they going to construct it while the crowd are in the arena? Sounds like a pretty daft idea to me tbh

[lharris92]

put it in overnight before the arena opens, then keep it cordoned off until tallica play

I guess that makes sense, but surely it would spoil it a bit for the other bands if you had something blocking of part of the centre stage area all day?

[biffoire]

The snake pit holds a fair few people but to be honest, I never saw the attraction of being right in the middle looking at lars's back. But each to their own.

Also, theres no bar or toilet in the snake pit. So whatever.

When metallica did MOP they did a few songs, stopped. Video came on the screen and they started playing MOP. Then they played some other songs after (I think - was pretty wrecked by then )

But the black album is sandwiched by other material. The set is usually 2-2.5 hours. Depending on whether lars turns up.

Whole European tour gets the snakepit apart from Rock AM Ring. Nice. One over Rock AM Ring

[neilloggie]

Maybe Rock AM Ring have it right by not having the snake pit, why when everyone going to Download has paid the same money for tickets should someone who is in the fan club take priority over everybody else?

[luckysalt]

Cus you have to pay to be in the fan club, so they will have paid more in the end

I had a M4 today.

Metallica Marathon Monday Morning

And some more on the way home, it was good

Me to funnily enough but I didn't think to call it an M4.

But I just had a ATDI AWDH (At The Drive In After Work Drive Home).

[luckysalt]

But what if you are someone that has paid to be in the Biffy Clyro, Tenacious D, and Trivium fan clubs? You would have paid more than the Metallica fans then, and may not want to see your favourite bands play on a stage with a big hole in the middle of it. Bit of a silly argument saying they've paid more isn't it, because it's the festival you are paying for, not a Metallica gig at the end of the day.

[AcademicPistol]

I just had a JGWTIP (jolly good w@nk to internet porn)! Can I be part of your club??? ;-)

[rivalschools.price]

I think i will be join that club in a bit

[2rare2die]

End of the day the way Download is usually set up is the massive gap between stage and barrier and then the massive gap cutting up through the middle of the crowd seperating it in two, Metallica will be using this space, so I can't see what the problem is really.

Its just something extra for those fans, and I don't see really that it takes anything away from anyone else. I certainly don't feel as if im getting short changed by them doing it, I don't feel affected by it whatsoever, but I think its a cool thing for those fans who will get in there.

[the_hedge]

Fair enough, if it does't affect the rest of the bands then i guess i'm quite indifferent to it being there. I'd just hate to have another AC/DC scenario whereby one band gets everything it's own way at the detriment of the rest of the day.

[2rare2die]

I could cope with the 2 stages and limited acts becuase it was ACDC and they were awsome but it really pissed me off that they would not allow their name on the T shirts. That was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

[devilman]

The 2 stage thing wasn't really any hassle, The T shirt thing was a pain so I refused to buy. There were people wearing Download T shirts with the ACDC logo on them last year though, where did they get them?
