cornucopia Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 With the sad news that Jim Marshall has passed away I feel it would be a fitting tribute for one of the stages to be named after him, for good. He did so much for the world of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 It would have to be main stage, all the others have sponsors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStu1987 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I think that would be a truly fitting tribute. Just think about it, probably most if not all of the acts that we will be seeing at download this year have or have had a marshall amp at some point!

cornucopia Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Absolutely, main stage would be the most fitting anyway. Would they do this though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStu1987 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 I don't think the artists would have a problem with it, that's for sure. I think download would consider it if it was brought to their attention! 'Jim Marshall Main Stage' has a nice ring to it...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan R Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Well they named the main and second stages after maurice jones and dio in 2010 so its definitely not out of the question, would be a nice tribute imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t8yman Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 they could have a massive Marshall curtain they drop over the stage between sets, so the main stage just looks like a massive marshall amp. not likely, but the passing of JM is a big deal. Marshall are as important to rock and roll as gibson, fender and rickenbacker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornucopia Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 It's offical, Download have stated the Main Stage will be dedicated to Jim Marshall. A no brainer really but also a really fitting tribute to Jim Marshall OBE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStu1987 Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I agree, I'm looking forward to seeing what they have come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
