Download Festival 2005, here we come...

This year im venturing back to Donnington to Rock - Out at Download Festival....a weekend full of alcohol and loud music....inbetween my exams aswell, could be interesting.

The Line Up...

Just look at how cool that line up is, Black Sabbath, System of a Down, Slipknot, My Chemical Romance, Bullet for my Valentine....Velvet Revolver...Slayer...wOOOOt

The Donnington Crew

The Crew for Download consists of:

  • Me
  • Bryn on Sunday
  • ....well im kind of on my own, but if last year is anything to go by i will meet many, many cool people.

Friday

My Chemical Romance: put on such a good show. Mental, can really control the crowd, and get all the angry emo kids crazy.

Garbage: Hated it. I didnt like the music, the sound was awful. And i believe the woman is a stupid bitch. Cant stand her.

Feeder: put on a good show. Set had a lot of slow songs which can get boring to someone who isnt a big fan (me). But they ended on Buck Rogers and Just A Day which was cool.

Saturday

Bowling For Soup: the funniest act ive ever seen. Jarret is a brilliant lead guy, so funny. Plus their music is great, and sounds great live. Cant wait to see them again.

Velvet Revolver: they were good. Their music is good and the songs are good for a nice sing a long. Im just not a big fan really. However they put on a good show.

Black Sabbath: were absolutely amazing. Couldnt have asked for anything more, other than that they play Symptom of the Universe ... other than that everything about their show was good. Singing along to all the classics was immense.

Sunday

Society1: only saw them cos the guy was going to be hung from the stage, using meat hooks which were pierced into his back. Lovely. They weren't very good in my opinion, just very. very angry shouting music. For instance one of their songs was just called 'Hate'.

Nightwish: Hate them. They came on over an hour late, and didnt even hurry up to get on, made us all listen to their shit introduction music. Pissed me off so much cos they were delaying Slipknot and System of a Down. Other than that, their music was quite cool, but both the male and female singers ruined it, both their voices were annoying. Thank God they only played 4 songs.

Slayer: watched them from a distance, i didnt think they were so bad, but cant take them seriously after watching Bill Bailey take the piss out of them on his DVD. The best bit about this set was that some crazy Slayer fan was dancing around and "air drumming" and singing in time to the music, he was scaring all the passing festival goers. It was truely hilarious.

Slipknot: i thought they were brilliant. Sounded excellent. Had flames on the stage, Joeys drum kit rose up and spun around and stuff whilst he was drumming during the gap between songs. Ah it was bloody amazing.

System of a Down: absolutely fantastic. The music was increadible, singing along was just great. The crowd was awesome aswell, just heavy moshing for the whole of their set. The only downside was that the heavy moshing made clouds of smoke rise up and it was awful to breathe in and it got in your eyes. Other than that it was the best.
