Download 2014

[Dead throne]

i very much doubt it, they stood on stage half looking scared for a sub spot at download last year and way out of place it was unreal. They are not a major download band. they only played due to metallica asking, if not they wouldn't have been there.

Ah fair enough, didn't know that.

Ten D were awesome you heathen. Didn't watch Biffy though. Skindred was rammed.

I love the D but they were w*nk at Download 12. The biggest disappointment of the weekend by a country mile. So poor

[Dead throne]

i can just about see how if you hadn't seen it before you may enjoy it but for me it was a bit they were dull, wrong festival for biffy then metillica. in part i enjoyed the 2011 event moreso.

[thewayiam]

I hadn't seen them before though

[Dead throne]

haha fair enough, see at Reading we got the robot come out for metal, we got the demon for tribute as well, i wasn't right near the stage for tribute but a friend said download didn't have it

[Dead throne]

It didn't

Was a bit dissapointed for that

[Dead throne]

woops

[Hazz]

im going to warped. the line up is pretty goood:) well i think so anyways

[2rare2die]

Yeah I'm hoping to go for the Saturday.

[rawaudioinput]

I think Blink-182 could sub, tickets for their arena tour may have flown out but bare in mind they went on sale in November 2010 and they had got a fair bit smaller since then; I don't think getting tickets for Brixton was pretty challenging, actually I half recall the circle area not selling out for a while.

[cornucopia]

Nickleback, pearl jam, avenged sevenfold.

[devilman]

Well I liked the D last year. I'm now pissed off that they have been better

[Muppetmark]

It didn't

Anyone going to Vans Warped UK Tour btw? Thinking of going, but not sure if it's worth it

As usual you're talking absolute fucking bollocks and trying to pass it off as if you know what you're talking about... Biffy Clyro played Download in 2004, 2005, 2007 & 2008, as well as in 2012. Hardly a band that's "scared" of the festival now is it. To put that into perspective they've played 5 times, Slipknot have only played 4 times & Korn have played 6 & people consider those to be standard "Download bands."

& you couldn't be more wrong, Metallica may have asked for them to sub, but that wasn't the only reason they played. It may not have been their best performance on the day, but they have been constantly working their way up the line up & will headline the festival in the future, I guarantee you.

shut up you idiot lol. Playing random slots down the bill is much different to headlining a metal festival when you're not a metal band.

Can't sell day tickets for the festival that suits them most, why will they at a festival where they are a bit lost?

And you might not be far wrong, if this year they have actually gone for Nickelback then not a lot could be worse

[mrtourette]

The obsession with day ticket sales rears it's ugly head again.

Download isn't a metal festival.

Plenty of "not metal bands" have played & headlined Download. Shows you don't know what you're talking about, end of discussion right there.
