Slipknot and shit like that are just for fag/mallcore kids who know fuck all about music. It would be worth if the bands where good.

Do they split the days up and let you pay for only one day if you wanted it? I could have saved up for download this year but would have missed out on great stadium gigs of bands that arent playing download. £160 notes, plus travel and other expenses, so maybe 200 quid in all. is a lot of money for anything, especially with a risk that is download, and as long as people remember last year it will take a while for people to say. "yeah! im defiantely saving for download!"... Festivals arent for everybody, i`d rather pay for greater security and better sonics (i guess they would be?) from an inside stadium. plus no worries about getting cold or wet, proper toilets, etc etc If Download had seven or eight more top bands i wanted to see i would think abou it, but its a lot of dough. 1.60 per band – but what`s the point if you only want to see a few of them?

Dragonforce i really don't know i've heard so much bad stuff about them live ,pendulum became a kinda shitty band once in silico came out but i'm still excited to see them. Prodigy will be fucking awsome,devildriver even better and slipknot i don't really need to say if they are gonna be good or not. Hope fully all the rest of the bands that are announced are good, i can expect to see bands like disturbed,inflames,bring me the horizon and hopefully ones i don't really expect like trivium,avenged sevenfold and dir en grey personally the bands there i don’t give a flying shit about are korn and motley crue.

Hate that band with a passion, there was nothing rock about it last year and I fail to see what's changed. The other bands though are good additions. Most looking forward to finally getting to see Korn (after 2006's problems and not getting a decent view in '07), The Prodigy - who will show Pendulum how things are done - and Devildriver headlining a stage! Didn't see that one coming, but should be a fantastic set. Let's hope they give us some huge quality names in the next week or two.
