Ok... This is the DL on Download... (terrible I know)

First off I would like to say OH MY FUCKING LORD WHAT A BIG HUGE MASSIVE GIGANTIC PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now that I have that out of the way I will give details.

So first, arrive unpack and go drink.
First night got pretty pissed at 'the duracell tent'(like a little club) Really fun, there was one dude who was wearing a wrestling mask and NOTHING ELSE...HAHA! Best bit he was head banging.... completely NEKKED!!!

Then Friday comes and Download officially begins....
First we watched Ill Nino.... so cool, then Megadeth (not my thing really but was fun) Then one of my best moments of the whole trip.... PORCUPINE TREE--- they were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good, I loved them AND I got a guitar pic! I was right in the front and I think the security guard fancied me cos he just came and gave me one! yay!
Then a band called Enter Shikari (never heard of them before) They were INSANE, they have soooooooooo much energy running up and down the stage, climbing on railings and speakers--- at one point the drummer went off stage and puked and came strait back (after wiping his mouth) and continued drumming!
THEN another one of my high points... KORN!!!!! I was still right in front so it was awsome, I had a perfect view!
What can I say... I love Korn, they were AMAZING.

So end of day 1 and rather eventfull I'd say.....

Saturday....
Starts off with Hell Yeah, then later on I decided to try get to the front again, but now this was the main stage so its no easy task to face ( friday was spent in one of the smaller tents) but Manson was playing so with sheer determination (and some help with the 6"4 Iranian satanist who I just met and a 6"4 big huge guy with long bierd and tats who both helped me do a little pushing and shoving) I finally made it.
3 more gigs till Manson. Just that 2 of them are HARDCORE and my fragile little body is squashed against the railings for.........MACHINE HEAD--------------AND-----------SLAYER!!!!!!!!
OMG...I just kept on saying I CANT BELIEVE I AM HERE I CANT BELIEVE I AM HERE!
Then the MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR........the one and only......... MARILYN MANSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
So there were crowd surfers all the time who get pulled off the front of the stage and that happened to be over my head like A HUNDRED AND FIFTY TIMES so between the complete sensory overload (MARILYN FUCKING MANSON) and being squashed and pushed and standing all day by the time Manson ended I had a little claostrophobic(sic?) attack--- freaking out-- the medic dudes pulled me over railing and I get taken to medic area where it turns out I was concussed cos of all of the people crowd surfing over my head---- So my MM experience was INSANE----Just as I expected. He really inspired this whole trip and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH IT!

Day 3-Sunday
Start off with Papa Roach when I decide fuck this, i have been crushed by crowd surfers, its my turn now!
So off I go!!!! OMG SO FUN! If you have never crowd surfed and find yourself with an oppertunity you MUST!!!!
Then things get heavy musically--- Devil Driver (crowd surfed again, couldn't help it) Napalm Death, Killswitch Engage, Dimmu Borgir and then DREAM THEATRE!!! They are one talented bunch I tell you... WOW.
Then Iron Maiden to end it all off.
PARTY PARTY PARTY!
Got back to london today, filthy, stinky and exhausted......
Well all I can say is that was truly an experience of a life time.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Till next year!!!
