"COF,Arch Enemy & Hatebreed are the only REAL Metal bands playing"

They may be the only "metal" bands playing, but Download is a HARD ROCK and metal festival, just like blabbermouth is a HARD ROCK and metal news site.

Isn't it great that we get this awesome festival? I might get a beer or 6 when aiden are on though, definitely when InMe are on! Can anyone else see the potential for the guest vocalists to make an appearance e.g Maynard with Deftones, Corey Taylor with Soulfly, maybe even Sharon den Adel or Cristina doin a bit of Nymphetamine?!? We can only hope!!

When Ben, drummer with Murderdolls, beat Dani Filth up, everyone said the midget was too depressed to perform. Surely he can't STILL be 'singing'! He was ruined by the beating.
