ButteryBiscuitBass
04.18.13 | 5 will be amazing. |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Dude yeah, but 1...1!!!!!!!!! |
ButteryBiscuitBass
04.18.13 | Yeah, and Maiden will be epic as well. I just remember creaming at the thought of QOTSA and then being told I can't go, because one of my colleagues beat me to it and only one of us can be off at a time :( |
ButteryBiscuitBass
04.18.13 | What makes it worse is that she probably hasn't heard any of the bands on this list. |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | She must be punished, hard. |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Its never gonna be as good as it was in 2010, but thats the way it is.
Festivals>Holidays. |

04.18.13 | was thinking of going but i think i may put that money towards a guitar as the line up doesn't excite me that much |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | I'd go for the guitar, just get a day ticket on Saturday for MAIDEN. |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | Line-up is sweet, although I prefer the one last year (due to the fact I'd just seen Maiden one year before, and are seeing them in Sweden this year, probably). But the weather was shitty, yeah. Enjoy m/ |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | You not going Prowl? What camp were you in last year?
All i heard for 5 days was FENTOOOONNNNN, just constantly. |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | I wasn't really in a camp, I just went with a friend of mine (we'd go with two others, but my friend and one of the other guys got mad at each other, lol). First time at Download all the way from Denmark. Figured I'd try a new, foreign festival each year from now on.
I'd like to ask which camp you were in, but I'd probably have no idea which you were talking about, lol.
I mainly heard chants as "Butscratcher" and "Spartans", and major groups of people singing Bohemian Rhapsody |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | So nah, I'm going to Pukkelpop instead. Unfortunately not going to any metal-festivals this year :( |
zakalwe
04.18.13 | I might have to sell my own nan but it would be worth it to see 6 |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Haha aw man that sucks Night :(
Dude, Motorhead brought it a couple of years ago.
Slipknot are headlining on Friday, but I already quenched my nostalgia thirst back in 2011 haha. |
NorwichScene
04.18.13 | I prefer Reading Festival. I'm not as metal |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Leeds and Reading is decent this year. |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | I haven't seen Slipknot before, but they're attending the Roskilde Festival. So is QotSA. And I just saw tGA 2-3 weeks ago. Download this year doesn't do as much for me this year because of that (although all are names I'd like to see twice). This year, I'm going for more diversity - indie, punk, hardcore, alternative and world - but yeah, it's too bad. Would have been cool to meet up! |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Yeah Night, woulda been sweet.
I don't venture out of the UK so yeah, I stick to what I know. |
NorwichScene
04.18.13 | lol, me neither Leb. I've been to Wembley, Milton Keynes, Reading and mostly small gigs in Norwich. |
thumbcrusher
04.18.13 | I live near Reading but i've never been, haven't like enough of the bands to justify the price. Same again this year really, saw Deftones a couple of months ago and apart from Brand New and NIN there isn't much there for me. |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Deftones and Eminem would be real sweet. |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | I've attended Roskilde, Copenhell, Langelandsfestival (lol) in Denmark, Download in UK, and I'm attending Bilbao (Spain), Pukkelpop (Belgium), NorthSide (Denmark), Roskilde and Smukfest (Denmark). And now I'm on my lunch-break, fuck yeah! |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Dude, how do you afford all that shit? Haha.
I want to go Wacken one day, would be cool. |
NorwichScene
04.18.13 | Reading looks amazing this year SOAD, Deftones, Biffy, Eminem, Frank Turner, BMTH, NFG, City & Colour, Brand New etc |
NorwichScene
04.18.13 | I'd go to bed early on the first night and miss Green Day lol |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Yeah, SOAD would be sweet.
Foals also. |
Keyblade
04.18.13 | that's actually not too bad. I thought this fest was the one full of slipknot and metalcore bands |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Oh its got some bad man, but a lot more good. |
demigod!
04.18.13 | might be seeing 4 this summer wew! |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | DuVall is the man w/ Cantrell. |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | "Dude, how do you afford all that shit? Haha."
A lot of work, and a cheap way of living, lol. Well, not exactly. But my rent is low! |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Thats m/, fuck quality and go for the quantity! |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | Well, the festivals (most of them) are quality, but yeah; the way of living/appartment is quantity, lol |
BigPleb
04.18.13 | Vice versa then, i got confused :( |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | :D:D |
NightProwler
04.18.13 | I got the ticket to "Smukfest" from my dad, though - he's invited me and my sisters on his expense |
apert
04.18.13 | most excited about seeing 1,3 and 8. |
dante1991
05.13.13 | I'll be there! Gonna be awesome, especially Maiden - everything else is just gravy. You forgot Karnivool and Devin Townsend (off the top of my head) |
BigPleb
05.13.13 | Devin is there? WTF?!
And fuck Karnivool aha. |
thumbcrusher
05.13.13 | devin was announced recently, he's doing an acoustic set |
BigPleb
05.13.13 | Aw that should be sweet! |
thumbcrusher
05.13.13 | i went down to see him in london at brixton a week or two ago so i don't really have the money for download anymore but he ruled and it was definitely worth it.
would like see one of his acoustic shows one day though |
BigPleb
05.13.13 | Get yourself to download man, beer-extravaganza! |
thumbcrusher
05.13.13 | expensive plans already in place for the summer so i'll just have to the beer alone with my cd player on |
BigPleb
