General Chat / Download Festival

Well from the many fesrival topics that have been going round here at NE in my opinion this festival has to be the best. I didnt know much abot it until bocoson posted about it in my Reading topic. From then on I was hooked because I found out Chimaira were playing. Now around a week ago I ordered 4 tickets and I am leaving today.

I am going with 2 freinds, my dad and I.

It should be a great festival, I am camping up there and I will be going up mid-day. Heading through Birmingham so Mantis I might stop off for a cup of tea if your there. And then Im heading to Donnington Park. I will be back on the monday. Hopefully I will take some photos and get them up like I did with the Thorpe Park ones.

See you when I get back

Damn, that certainly is one hell of a festival. Hope you have a good time.

Iron Maiden is still around?

Holy shit.

And Apocalyptica, they are just a Metallica rippoff, and I hate Metallica

Nope.
I believe that they rule.

I have only just got back from one fucking good time. There is so much to go through that Ill tell you all the bands I watched and what I thought. But one major fucking thing I am pleased about it that I walked away with a signed ticket from the lead singer of Chimaira (Mark Hunter"" and the best thing, a Chimaira guitar plectrum that I caught.

One hell of an experience that I will tell you about once I have caught up with all the news. If you want to ask how bands were then just talk on Aim I can tell you about them.

Glad you had a good time. I was sat at home revising, whilst my mate went and had a blast (though he was steamed for most of the time, and was presuaded to get his tongue pierced). Can't belive I missed Maiden. Report please,Mr Mortician.

I think the only band I like out of all of them is Thrice... Marilyn Manson has a couple good songs, though.
