Download 2009 - The After-Thread!

Hahaha awesome! If I hadn't lost the camera with all my Thursday/Friday pics, I might have been able to find you on it, given how many action shots I snapped.

Did you just do a straight can? My favourites were the guy that did a small coke bottle full of port(!), the couple of people that attempted four cans (nobody managed without choking halfway), and a guy called Ally (I think), who kept coming back all day. He did about 13, all told, and was still walking and talking coherently! Crazy sod.

Weebull, you wasn't trying to get people to do it in the car park was you? And did you have a pick-up truck?

Nah, purely by the entrance to the blue campsite, and then slight into the village on Sunday eve.

Our beer bong was black with spikes on it. Well, it was at the start of Download.

Aaah, I did one in the car park, was being given a beer bong before I'd even left the car

I think I saw you guys offering them, was gonna do it but was already really drunk

BTW did anyone else go on that huge **** ride in the arena near the second stage I thought it was ****ing awesome!

Anyone else find themselves having withdrawal symptoms from all the free Muller Rice?

Nah but I am finding it very hard to walk past muller rice without feeling the need to use it as ammo

My biggest disappointment was Manson but it was sort of expected. Wish i saw him 10 years or so ago.

Yeah he was absolutely smashed! i swear he walked off at the end half way through a song?!

Also any one see me? The only cockly A Hole to get on my mates shoulders during the bottle war before slipknot! I had a green T shirt on and was getting absolutely pelted with ***s and all sorts

I swear I was right next to you when that happened, on the right hand side about 10 people ish from the front?

I'm sure I was right there laughing my arse off at you.

I didn't think they were all that to be honest. Crowd didn't see all that up for it. I was right near the front and there was still very little movement.

Well, they are brilliant in smaller venues

If you like Papa Roach and Chris Cornell, I wouldn't expect you to like Parkway Drive anyway.

Yeah must have been me! We was pretty much near the front and once it all kicked off and after i got crushed under loads of people i got pushed to the barrier

It was good overall, but I was a bit dissapointed with main stage in between bands, at least at the second stage you had music playng, and the guys messing around with the cameras, and what did you get at the main stage, only occasionally a few songs, that text and picture thing every now and then, what seemed like an endless eternity of either Kebab Pot Noodle, Mastadon, or Enter Shikari adverts. I swear if I saw them bloody pot noodle adverts one more time I was going to go postal.

Also, I only saw the first couple of songs, so I don't know if they changed after a while, but I wondered if Motley Crue actually bothered to use the big screens to show the actual performance, and not some crappy flash animations? I left after a few songs after I realised Vince Neil was obviously so coked off his head that he could barely sing the songs, without it sounding awful. Glad I went to see FNM after that.

I like Parkway Drive plenty, thanks, no need to tar me just because I have varied tastes. I just didn't think their performance at Download was particularly notable.
