this time last year I said "of all the bands I have seen over the years, I have never seen ACDC or Aerosmith", then I got a ticket to see ACDC at Hampden in Glasgow, so that left Aerosmith as the sole band that I wanted to see live but hadn't. I had bought my ticket before the headliners were announced so was delighted when the smith were announced, but not so chuffed about RATM. Can't be doing with them lol

Tell you what, I got "war is the answer" by Five Finger Death Punch at the weekend as I knew nothing about them and it's one of the best albums I've heard from a new band since disturbed's the sickness in 1999.
If you like any of the following bands then check this album out
slipknot
machine head
disturbed
stone sour

can't wait to see these guys at download now

Have u heard what's happening regarding ACDC?

For those who haven't :

Acca Dacca have only agreed to play if they can use their full touring stage on the friday.
As a result, the minute ACDC finish on the friday, the entire stage will be dismantled and the normal Download stage will then be built, before setting up all of the sound systems again for a lunchtime start on the sat.

Obviously someone reckons it can be done or the contract wouldn't have been signed, but a lot of the people in the forums who claim to be professional roadies have serious doubts.
Will be interesting.
Was thinking of hanging about for a little bit after the show to see how quickly they start ripping up the stage...then I thought....back to the campsite to get tw@tted, so fek that lol

I saw ac/dc in birmingham in 1996 for the Razors Edge tour - they were brilliant then (although without Phil Rudd as Chris Slade was on drums) - they're absolutely awesome on record and live.

Unfortunately, work as a chef means I get no time off all summer (will struggle even to do a few gigs) but hey-ho.

Don't want to rub it in, but my brother won R.I.P ticketss to the festival this year in a radio competition.
Going for 3 days, £200 beer vouchers, free accomodation and free travel.
Not costing me a penny.
How's that for being a jammy git.

Yeah dude. I'm going. Saw DC last year in Manchester and I'm sincere when i say that it was the best thing I have seen in my entire life. Absolutely incredible. If they use their touring stage set then you're in for a treat. Been to every Download since 93, brilliant festival. Andy

Yeah I saw Ac/DC at Hampden last year on the Black Ice tour, with the train crashing through, it was amazing.
Doing the dc stomp (2up 2down) for 2 hours was fantastic lol
