Serious question.

The meeting spot should be easy enough, and it doesn't matter hwere you live. But we'd be meeting at an airport in Hamburg, Germany.

The other problem is the festival is Wacken - the largest open air metal festival in the world (www.wacken.com).

So who wants to come with me, it's not until August!

Im going to california in augest.. which is going to cost me $400.

Dont think I want to go to Germany though.

yea dude ill be the one in handcuffs screaming TAKE ME TO HITLER

These are so far the conformed ones playing
http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/lineup/index.asp

There are still LOADS more to come.

Wacken gets about 60 bands in total. Those were the confirmed ones. And you have to be joking, Cradle of Filth? Guns and Roses?

And how the hell can you have Alice In Chains?

That is just retarded. Come to Wacken with me instead, the best metal bands, and the best beer in the world. All in one place.

So yeah, who's coming motherfuckers?

About 79 euros for an all event ticket package. Thingy, something of that variety. And your airfare.

If I wasn't already planning a trip I think I would go here instead. (Less skin heads)

Id rather go to download JUST to see metallica and Trivium than go there and see all those bands.

Metallica sucks balls, though

Metallica have about one good album. Trivium suck nuts too. Just some with me.

So does Trivium, and every other band that plays the Download festival.

Toothlessjoe, if I somehow aquired enough money to make it, I'd do it for sure!

And you say you're popular...

I'm going to Download.

Deftones are gonna pwn...

If I could I would. Never heard of most of those bands, but I'm open-minded. And I love BEER! I want one of those 1L beer jugs.

The S&M album, if you can really call it an actual album.

So who actually wants to come then?

can black people go?

Yes, black people can go.

Then I won't.

I dont listen to this kind of music. metal doesnt appeal to me. My question (if not already asked), is This isnt nazi bullshit music. Is it?

I hate skinhead rock. I hate angry rock. i hate that rock where idiots scream into the mic. Does this really entertain you?

*climbs into a time machine and goes back to the 1970s*

I might go.

I agree with everything you just said; I hate metal more than rap.

But, meh, some people seem to like it.

I can't wait for Download. A whole weekend of incredible music, weed and mushrooms. What could be better?

It's going to be awesome.

I went last year it was an amazing experience. ACCEPT as headliners rocked my socks, Machine Men in the Headbangers tent, discovering "new" (as in new to me) bands such as Morgana Lefay and Turisas and Candlemass, seeing Sonata Arctica for the second time in roughly a week, and the people there were so friendly it was awesome!

Only major dissapointment were Nightwish, playing literally the new album and maybe one or two from the others. They just didn't seem into it.

Everyone should experience Wacken if they can. I would go again this year, but my band may be playing on a festival which is on the same weekend. :s

It sucks that SOAD arent playing as they headlined last year

Obviously you havent heard any other albums than S&M if you think thats the only good one.

Metal has a different auditory aesthetic. And I doubt you've heard anything aside from the mainstream hard rock shit. Piss off, eh?

Don't speak unless you know something about what you're criticizing? Why are all of my statements questions? Am I suddenly French?

Anyway, most of underground metal holds true to an ideology of seperation from/destruction of modern society. Naturally, when approaching an acidic society, one becomes a little "pissed", maybe even misanthropic. Most of these musicians are the men and women who have a habit of seeing through man's primitive nature.

Maybe metal should move into a shitty five riff structure and sing about loving everyone equally (even those who dont deserve life, let alone love). At least then it would reach its own end, no?

Seventies music hardly proposed a break from society, it attempted to push it in a direction in which it was already heading: eglitarianism and false ideas of individual equality. 70's rock sounds very light and relaxed, and because underground metal holds a view which is diametrically opposed, it is natural that it should develop in the opposite direction, away from a common root.

We took revolution and revolutionized it.
