You aint wrong there! Ahead of the likes of Korn, Manson (im not a fan but he does deserve to be higher up the bill than MCR!!) and Motley Crew.
When you traveling?
Stop it you lot, I am so jealous, the last Download I was at was 2005!
It was a great even if my tent was pitched on a hill! :eek:

me and my mates are getting the plane from inverness to east midlands on the wednesday night i think. really did not want to go on the bus, isn't it something like 16 hours from inverness? not keen on that one bit!
i also hear hayseed dixie are playing aswell, they have it down on their tour dates, saw it on their myspace, not confirimed on the download site yet though. saw them in ullapool last year, they were ace! a bit different compared to the bands that are already confirmed!

Bands are announced every tuesday. There will be 100 in all.
ah right, i just wasn't sure if they were announcing any more, i have seen posters already made, thought it might have been the final line-up on them
infact, another question, will the headliners of the second stage be playing before the headliners of the main stage are on?? i just noticed that if that were the case, then i would have to choose between maiden and billy talent!
maiden wins it for me if thats the case

Naw, they will be on at around the same time/just after the act that are 2nd last on the mainstage. Hence the velvet revolver and korn clash.
aw right cool, i really want to see maiden, saw them in december with trivium, they were amazing!! billy talent ace aswell, hopefully see them both at download

After ther song list in december, i will be chosing bt.. but you get around an hour of iron maiden anyway. seeing as the 2nd stage closes earlyer.

Yip total bummer! Havent seen Korn before, but have seen Wolfmother and VR before so gonna be difficult deciding what to do.
I couldnt pronounce half of the bands that got revealed today so not too fussed about them!
Oh, forgot to ask. Which bands are we gonna stick around simply for the purpose of throwing cups of 'yellow water' at? Bowling For Soup is my first choice!
ha, if anyone, my chemical romance is my first choice!

What a weekend!!!
Apart from the nightmare start with the flights [evil]
How did everyone else get down?
we ended up getting a bus at about quarter past 6 i think it was, got to east midlands airport at about half 9 in the morning! was meant to be about 12-ish, as we were supposed to wait in manchester for 3 hours, but an earlier bus came, and we were told we could get on, so we were all delighted!
definitely will not be flying with ryanair again!
I AM THA MAN! LOL
Yeah thank god for Sat Nav!
Twas an awesome weekend, wi plenty of famous folk kicking around!
