I'm not a Bond fan or anything, just a fella who will happily sit and watch a Bond film - so from that perspective I will say that Brosnan is my favourite, I really love all the ones he has done and can quite happily watch them over and over.
favourite individual film tho is On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
absolutely hate the Dalton ones - I used to think it was just the way he chose to play the character, for some reason he thought Bond should be a thoroughly unlikable person. but actually, Dalton plays this exact same character in every single thing I have ever seem him in... so I think he is either just a properly sh*t actor, or maybe he himself is just a thoroughly unlikable person.
dont really have any interest in any future ones tho... didnt really like the Craig ones.
Fair enough but Im surprised what you say about the acts. I dont see who they could realistically have booked to make it better than the lineup they had.
And Im curious about your cryptic last comment. Locals get in for free?!
Non of those three are stadiums bands and Slipknot/Maiden have both been booked for Download more times than any of other headliners, I wouldn't say that trio feels big or expensive, it's a solid realistic trio
