Igor is an out of this world drummer

Bloody hell. Any reason? I guess this is the nail in the coffin for Sepultura

Fuck those England t-shirts that say "it doesn't matter if we win or lose it, we invented it"

Strapping Young Lad were highly entertaining. I saw Metallica (blew everyone away), GNR (very tight and entertaining after the "technical difficulties"), SYL, In Flames (definately deserved a main stage slot), Soulfly (great crowd), Hatebreed (nuts as usual), Hundred Reasons (fantastic performance and crowd), some of Dragonforce (but got bored of them), Coheed & Cambria (who did an awesome 10 min jam at the end), Korn (history in the making again) and Alice in Chains (also great). Missed Henry Rollins as they fucked up the stage times and missed Down. Didn't see Skindred or Lordi as the Gibson tent was far too packed.

So who all went and who took the One Up bus?

Killswitch Engage (self-titled)

I thought it was ok when they played it at Download. Sounds different to what they usually do

Does anyone have any thoughts/reviews etc on them? Would be helpful as I'm looking into one for my 21st

Yet to check them out properly but heard no bad things about them

I can just imagine the scene of trying to put up a 9-man tent in the pissing rain

Legends. You can total hear where Spock's Beard got one of their main influences from

When's tickets on sale?

That's a beautiful cream vinyl

That's a good move

Yeah. There is certainly one for Download as I'm on it!

Nae yet. The second album was only a fiver in Fopp, bargain. I've been playing it non stop in the car

We will see how good they are at Download first

Bebo is a proper site for staying in touch with friends imo. Of course there will be types that use it for shameless self promotion but it isn't half as bad as Myspace

Steely Dan - Aja The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith Radiohead - The Bends Stereophonics - Language. Sex. Violence. Other? Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 Coheed & Cambria - Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Vol.1

Oh it's still there, it's just my mates have a love of camping and are in the majority. I'm actually looking forward to it this year

Yeah think so. Camping tickets are £20 but they are going on ebay for £80 plus and I ain't being a fool and paying that, so basically I'm fucked

I need a fucking camping only ticket!

Ha ha that's excellent, I love the 2002 board

Full equations for Higher Physics?! We didn't get that back in 2002, and that was a lot of formulas at the time (50+ if I remember) I failed my Electrical Power module, damn it!

All festival line-ups this year seem to be on a downer
