    PURE FUCKING GENIUS!
    the promoters booked guns n roses, which will help attract thousands upon thousands of people….only guns n roses will more than likely not show up, therefore the promoter wont have to pay for the hotel nor the guarantor (of which i'm sure guns n roses would ask for something outrageous!) they'll make a ton of profit with a move like this.

    what I terrible line up, I liked metallica, before Cliff died…clutch is the worst band ever

  7. 1sicmaggot666 says:

    this is the kind of fest we need in the states

  8. slapit says:

    Within Temptation on the same bill as metallica?? what?? so random. I'd only be interested in seeing WT and LC

  9. EdUnStu says:

    I would go to see Prodigy, and yea… Prodigy… if Guns n Roses showed I suppose I might stay to see them

  10. metalkillsall says:

    Metallica will own this show.

  11. peyotecoyote says:

    This sounds like another riot in the making. Remember the last time Guns and Metallica toured together? Could be fun to see the whole place go up in flames.

  12. uncultured trash says:

    To the prick who has the hate on for clutch might I suggest you slurp on the hair in my sweaty ass?

  13. bleeding for salvati ... says:

    clutch is a joke

  14. ZakkWylde470 says:

    You'd think people would've learned what happens when Metallica and GnR tour….

  15. imnotaredneck says:

    lol guns n roses

  16. 57sprinklesofpain says:

    GnR were good when i was 13, prodigy when i was 15, and Korn when i was 17. This concert is a joke.

  17. MetalHeads says:

    i agree with unclutured trash clutch is quite swell

  18. kornographer says:

    KORN,METALLICA,GNR MY 3 FAVORITE BANDS

  19. will says:

    This should be a very interesting show..The Download Festival has always been of interest to me (even though I live in the US)..Seems like the UK always get really good shows with a fairly decent line-up..This tour I would attend for Metallica, Trivium, Hatebreed, Deftones and KoRn have yet to disappoint me live so I would not have a problem with seeing them again..

    As far as GNR, I would turn them down the same reason I turned them down the last time they toured..I refuse to pay money to see ONLY Axl Rose..To me, it isn't GNR without the original members and Buckethead is a joke of a replacement for Slash IMO…This falls along the lines of why I have no interest in seeing Velvet Revolver..

    "clutch is a joke"
    "what I terrible line up, I liked metallica, before Cliff died…clutch is the worst band ever"

    It is people like these that put people off metal. People don't want to be stereotyped as PESIMISTIC, MOANEY LITTLE CUNTS like these. Grow up and stop moaning. It's gonna be a fuckin great festival, with a fuckin great line up and i can't wait.
