Download 2005: SoaD, Feeder, Weezer and Sabbath
Download was officially launched last night, with a raft of names revealed as
playing the festival.
The biggest news is that the festival is to be expanded to three days; starting on Friday 10th June and finishing on Sunday 12th. Previously the festival has been a two-day weekend affair.
The Friday will be some sort of 'indie' day with Feeder headlining and support from Garbage, The Prodigy, Billy Idol and Weezer.
Saturday is set to be a mini-Ozzfest day, with Sabbath, Velvet Revolver and HIM confirmed, whilst Sunday will be all about the metal, with System Of A Down, Slipknot and Slayer plying their bloody wares.
Tickets are on sale now from the usual sources, expect to shell out £112 or so for the privilege. Additionally, the Download official site, www.downloadfestival.co.uk has a myriad of other ticketing options that include hotels and all in one tent-included camping packages.

Billy Idol is a misundertood genius, a scrawny, chipped nail varnish finger raised at all that is twee and tasteful.
Sabbath are boss, too. The only dino band that can still hack it.

Mmm I 'spose...but AC/DC never split up and have loads of non-original members, Sabbath is fat old men reforming to make money, which is usually crap, but in their case rocks like the big swinging dick of Satan.

How can Feeder headline above Weezer?
It's a shame the drummer didn't shoot the other two eegits first before he killed himself.
Harsh, but true.
Sorry.

i think they shouldve kept download as a 2day "heavy" festival and let reading/leeds/v etc cater for the more "indie" inclined
also, jesus_quintana ...fuck off saying stuff like that about feeder and their drummer

The peroxided king of perv-rock will kick Weezer and Feeder's dreary half-arsed mockrock schtik back into the collegiate gutter where it belongs.

i wonder if theres anyway I can get in and out of there (see weezer) and not be exposed to any of the other bands or the fools who would want to see them.
Re: Download 2005: SoaD, Feeder, Weezer and Sabbat
aww come on what about Priest...and Motorhead, they both still fucking rock!
Re: Download 2005: SoaD, Feeder, Weezer and Sabbat
The most recent Prodigy album bombed. Feeder have almost certaintly sold more records *here* that Garbage or Weezer, at least, again, in recent years.

I thought bunnies didn't have very dextrous paws?
It would explain the lack of capitals I guess.

Feeder are worse, fair enough. But Weezer aren't much cop either ('cept for Buddy Holly and Hashpipe, oh and Surf Wax America, that was alright...Ok, they've got a few good songs, but a lot of their stuff's dross...matter of opinion...matter of opinion, I know, but I'm right and you're all wrong.

i was a slightly irrate teenaged boy who saw no need to use the shift button when posting on the internet, as my meaning is generally very clear.

weezer = my youth
feeder = likely to STILL be making pop-rock-lite shite when I DIE.

Pinkerton is the greatest album ever made and i pity the fool who thinks otherwise.

seriously your loss
Re: Download 2005: SoaD, Feeder, Weezer and Sabbat
They don't have any dudes who didn't play on Back in Black though. And the singer died! And the bassist was just a bassist and he was booted out after the second record I think. So a fairly long time ago.

Mike...what..the hell? Seriously. Don't make me doubt everything I respect about you at this point...'Pinkerton' rocks. Just plain rocks.
Feeder: Were once mildly enjoyable, are now dad-rock.
Weezer: Are still pop-rockin' genius.

yeah, i'll continue the mike-bashing. Pinkerton is genius. the sound is so much darker to the first album, so fucking random. Weezer are one of my favourite bands. ever. and at last i will see them.
