METALLICA \m/
Download.. what can I say? The absolute highlight of my year so far. Seeing most of my favorite bands that I grew up with, getting wasted with good mates and meeting random people.
I got very battered indeed every day, starting at 10:00am waiting for the bars to open till about 4am in the evening. £200 quid just vanished.
Metallica were just plain brilliant.
My definate highlight was listening to Disposable Heroes live and hearing the new song (which my friends said sounded crap but meh to them!).
The festival had a lot of emo bands. Hell I even saw Fightstar. I don't like emo and how its kinda shaped the metal scene these days but it was good to see loads of people together to rock out no matter what the style of metal they were into. I wouldve crapped myself on the Sunday night seeing riot police but Ive seen em before when I was whacked out at Leeds one year when I needed to go piss.
Ill miss seeing the guys again but they have their own lives to live now in their own place. Im just thankful we can just turn off for a few days and get together and have a great time every so often. I came back from Download feeling recharged and work didnt seem stressful anymore when I got back there. Its great to escape from the mundane everyday machine and see the artists that picked me up during the tough days.
Rock on motherfuckers
