FILTH
Lacuna Coil played Download a few years back, and me and the ex (then together) got free AAA wristbands because of our mate. I didn't get to meet them though, they were late getting there.

they're playing sonisphere this year
I'm not familiar with them. what are they like?

also: check out this line up

could only be better if Tool and Monster Magnet were playing

Fuck, now there are three festivals I want to go to.
I would love to meet Cristina, but I imagine I'd be so in awe I'd make a fool of myself.

I bought tickets the day they came out
because I wanted to see Maiden again, and every time a new bunch of bands gets announced there is something that I really want to see in it.

I was feeling a bit gutted about all the good acts playing Download, but since Bigelf and Karnivool got added to Sonisphere I've been cheered up.

Needs more
Metallica
Bronx
Gallows on there already
Lamb of God
Trivium
Mastodon
System of a Down (comeback gig)

Too much old school bands, seriously Motley Crue? Alice Cooper? Why does Heavy Rock/Metal always look to the past?
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:16, Reply)

Metallica, Lamb of God and Mastodon played last year
Alice Cooper is entertaining to see on stage. the guy is a stupid twat and is an awful radio DJ, but his show is ok.

I'm really looking forward to The Cult. Will be awesome.

and hearing Europe do the Final Countdown live will be cheesetastic

I was ever so slightly disappointed with Metallica
Lars can't drum like he used to. Didn't do the double bass drum bits in One very well at all.

Also they were being more up themselves than usual. Soaking up applause before it had begun etc. and getting arsey when they didn't get enough for their liking.

It was James Hetfield's birthday though which was amusing. Hearing thousands of people singing happy birthday while he was custard pied by the rest of the band and his family.

Everything about Metallica disappoints me now.
Death Magnetic is terrible and St.Anger is one of the shittest albums I've ever heard.

Oh how the mighty have fallen.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:24, Reply)

St Anger is one of the shittest albums ever
but Death Magnetic is fucking brilliant
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:25, Reply)

AMEN!
A little loud in the mixing, but brilliant.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:27, Reply)

I had a listen to the Black album for the first time in possibly a couple of years
while I was on holiday. I'd forgotten how awesome it is. Some of the lesser played stuff like Don't tread on me and My friend of misery are great great songs.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:29, Reply)

I love Death Magnetic
St Anger was shit though, no one can disagree with that
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:25, Reply)

I'm glad you agree about Death Magnetic
I was so pleased when I first listened to it because I love all of their stuff other than St Anger.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:26, Reply)

Quite possibly my favourite Metallica album
And fucking cool album artwork, so simple and yet so effective, a classic.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:29, Reply)

So what we're saying is we're awesome
And Applebite knows nothing?
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:30, Reply)

Feck.
It always comes down to that. I just didn't like Death Magnetic, alright?
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:32, Reply)

:-D

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:32, Reply)

I accept your difference of opinion.
I'm gracious like that.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:33, Reply)

that sums it up nicely
she's not old enough to properly appreciate how Death Magnetic harkens back to Metallica's brutally heavy period.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:32, Reply)

Just like
How The Blackening was a brilliant return to form for Machine Head.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:34, Reply)

I have to say
I can't stand Machine Head

They were originally going to be at Sonisphere last year, but pulled out. so a load of fans sold their tickets. Then they ended up playing as a special guest.

Pissed people right off.

Pissed me off because I think they are awful.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:48, Reply)

In their defence though,
they were put below Limp Bizkit on the bill, that would be enough to make anyone throw a hissy fit.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:55, Reply)

that is true
limp bizkit were fucking dreadful. and Linkin Park.

are you going this year?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:57, Reply)

Depends if I score more free VIP tickets.
I don't think I could go back to camping with the plebs.

I may have free Download tickets, but I'm not sure I can be bothered.

bloody toffs

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 12:03, Reply)

no no no no no no no no (there's no limits)
the last good album was "and justice for all" Garage inc is ok but most of the cool b sides and covers I like I already own on vinyl

I saw the Cult when I was 13.
They were excellent.

I can hardly remember being 13
My memory is fucked
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:22, Reply)

I'd forgotten how much I love them

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:22, Reply)

Gotta agree with you
Some friends are trying to get me to go to Download, but I have no interest in most of the bands, especially old-school ones.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 12 May 2010, 11:18, Reply)

I think it really holds the metal genre back, this constant apeing for the past
