i love the amount of abuse matt is getting. rage are not just a CD band. Also, calling rage coperate sell outs is probably the most retarded comment ive ever read anywhere. seriously RATM being sell outs. do you have a mental defficiency? and rage didnt organise the xmas number 1 so matt, no, just no.

People please! RATM know we aren’t stupid;When they say “free gig” there will be a gig and it WILL be free. Why would a festival want to book an act that is doing a huge free show? People would choose go to the free show then the festival, so the festival organizers will book someone that is NOT going to play for free, and will lure in more people.

Do you not pay to get to Download as well or for accomodation once you’re there (even if it’s via an increased ticket price to camp)?

The free gig is going to cost craploads to get to and get accommodation for in the longrun for people not living in or near to London. Another gig at a festival might be seen as more preferable for people who want to see their money going towards something more than one band

Personally, I don’t want them there. They made an impact years ago and have been hugely influential, but there are loads of bands making an impact now who would be missing their shot at glory if RATM did play.

That said, would Download book a headliner if said headliner was putting on a massive free show in Hyde Park. How many people would want a Download ticket because RATM are headlining the festival if they could go to see the same band for free. Very few, and Download have to go big to sell 100 000 + tickets this year. Don’t think AC/DC alone would do it at £170 a pop.

Or it could be the fact that they are handling both Download AND the free RATM gig and next week there will be announcements about both……
