I never get to go to Download cos it usually clashes with Rawkus
this year it doesn't, but does clash with a big Ballroom comp, so I can't go anyway. Who's on it?

These were all announced last night
Machine Head, Trivium, Lamb of God, Devin Townsend, DevilDriver, Little Angels, Anthrax, Ugly Kid Joe, August Burns Red, Soundgarden, Chase & Status, Biffy Clyro, You Me At Six, and Tenacious D.

That isn't laughably bad
Soundgarden, Lamb of God and Anthrax are all worth watching.

So that's six bands I want to watch already.

But why the fuck are "Chase and Status" playing. I don't even know what they sound like, other than that I'm sure they are cunts.

Biffy Clyro put on a good show
C&S play pumped up dubstep and drum and bass. there seems to be more and more "dance" acts at rock festivals

That's why I enjoyed Sonisphere so much last year, they recognised the want for "dance" acts, and gave them a seperate stage.

Chase & Status = serial Pendulum copyists
Probably well worth seeing unless you're massively opposed to electronica at rock festivals

Well, given that Pendulum are fucking shit.
I can only assume that a copy of a fucking shit band are beyond fucking shit and into some sort of inverse universe where you fancy women and Bobby is thin.

You rude bastard. How dare you comapre me to that humourless twat.
Just because Pendulum are a terrible band, I was nice about you earlier when discussing my trip to the theatre last night.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 10:01, Reply)

You're right. That was harsh. I apologise
I'm impressed that you'd openly admit to a) enjoying musical theatre and b) agreeing with me in this forum.

Seriously, very pleased you enjoyed it, fucking brilliant show. I assume you gave my friend Charlotte a wave as I asked.

I think that's unfair, C&S have far more range than Pendulum, who are one trick shit ponies

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 9:55, Reply)

That's so laughably incorrect that I hardly know where to start
If C&S have such range then why does their music ALWAYS fit into the category of "what Pendulum were doing six months ago"?

Machine Head are past it now, I'm not really an Anthrax fan, and I don't like Soundgarden
I wouldn't mind seeing Lamb Of God, Devildriver or YMA6 (their music is pretty poor, but their performances and energy are faultless), but I wouldn't go out of my way to see any of them anymore, really.

Badmotorfinger is one of finest rock albums of all time
I happened to have it on my iPod in the car this morning I'll have you know.
(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Tue 17 Jan 2012, 10:29, Reply)

I'm getting old, I've never heard of half of them
I didn't even know Soundgarden had reformed. I'd go and see YouMeAtSix if I didn't know I'd be twice as old as anyone else in the crowd.

Hang on - are the headliners included in that lot?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 9:55, Reply)

YAMA6 = gay pop punk
no, headliners are metallica, Black Sabbath and someone else...prodigy maybe
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 9:56, Reply)

Yep, those are the 3
YMA6's music is crap, but they're pretty damn good live, which I never thought I'd admit.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 10:00, Reply)

I actually quite like a lot of their tunes
I wouldn't go out of my way to see them mind. I might consider a day ticket for the Sunday if the line-up works out, which seems unlikely
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 10:02, Reply)

I was dragged to see them at Sonisphere
Their music may not be my thing, but their style, their cockiness, and the fact you could see they were genuinely having a great time really sold them to me, very enjoyable show - stolen from my own review.

Plus Tony Iommi might be dead by then.

Let's face it, any one of them could croak at any given moment
Bill Ward's doctor told him he wouldn't make it past 25
