Metal/rock/hardcore DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL - Saxperience

Godzilla · 10th May 2008, 18:40

I'm really expecting much of a reply to this, but was wondering if anyone on here was into anything more on the heavy/alternative side?

I'm not talking Fall out boy or PATD, more along the lines of Killswitch Engage/Job For a cowboy/In Flames type thing.

Also, anybody going download?

Certi · 11th May 2008, 05:03

Not going to download but yeah I'm into the heavier stuff. Listening to a bit of Soilwork just now.

Killswitch Engage/Job For a cowboy/In Flames

Not really keen on those bands, more underground stuff such as Sea of Treachery, BBABH, Rose funeral etc etc.

I really dont fancy download, purely because of some of the people that go there. E.g, the kids that think that MCR are still cool

AlexB^p · 11th May 2008, 07:56

haha i was thinking of going
but then i remembered the MCR kids lol

i still might tbh but dunno

smittytom · 11th May 2008, 11:03

BBABH are fucking good saw them a couple of years ago in swindon!
Killswitch are a mint band, not to keen on Job For A Cowboy tho.

Chris_VTS · 11th May 2008, 12:18

Godzilla · 11th May 2008, 12:49

Yeah the lineup this year is a bit iffy....

The main bands I want to see are:

JFAC
In Flames
A Day To remember
Disturbed
Incubus
Biffy
36 Crazyfists
Jimmy Eat World
Fightstar
Brigade
Rival Schools
Comeback Kid
Black Dahlia Murder
Pendulum (seeing them in Exeter on wednesday aswel)
Bleeding Through
Cry For silence
Dillinger Escape Plan
Trigger The Bloodshed
Rolo Tomassi
AOAA
August Burns Red
Exit Ten
Between The Buried And Me

Fuck, didn't realise it was that many I wanted to see!

I can understand if people don't want to go, but it's download, it would still be amazing if the music was romantic period classical!

Godzilla · 11th May 2008, 12:52

Also wanted to mention...has anyone heard of 'InMe'?

As much as I'm into my death metal and hardcore stuff, InMe to me are my favourite band ever, I supported them the other day in Exeter and was so so sweet

Yeah they were insane live, really fucking weird. And to be fair, they are complete weirdo's in person lol.

They're time signature changes are insane aswel, I mean I teach drums for a living, and fuck me do they do some weird stuff!

I wanted to go Reading, but download is more home for me, plus getting Reading tickets is so hard these days.

Yeah TTB are a bit extreme, I can listen to it though, they played with Suffocation in Plymouth a week or so ago, it's cool, but too much grindcore and you just wanna go home

Just found out my mate is working there, she's modelling, not wearing a lot handing out free things apparently, she gets a hotel room n all, blatently having a shower at download!

Fuck staying there though, all about the campsites
