Well, since no-one else has, I'll start one.
Who was there, who'd you see that impressed you, how sunburnt did you get???
I was there Friday afternoon only (off to Sonisphere, so saving pennies), and was mightily impressed by Limp Bizkit (not a huge fan, but they were very good live) and really enjoyed both MC Rut (New Low is still the stand-out track, but some other good stuff...) and of course Faith No More, who I realised I hadn't seen for nearly 14 years!!! Theirs was a rather self-indulgent set, but musically/vocally spot-on and finished things of beatifully...SO glad I got to see them again!

I was there for the whole weekend, it was far too hot!!!
Glad I went to see limp bizkit as well, don't care what everyone else says, I like em!
Thought billy talent were pretty good, and hadn't seen motley crue before either who were good as well!
Prodigy were great, but Staind were one band who really suprised me actually, wasn't expecting much of them but thought that they were excellent!
If anyone spotted a stupidly tall flagpole with a blue VW flag (best one the shop had
) that would've been me. Or more likely my mate running away with my flag!

Highlight was probably Pendulum, really got the crowd going. Biggest surprise was Fightstar as they had a good following (ok a lot of 14 year old emos but still), and were actually bothered about putting on a good show. Marilyn Manson was seriously boring, and Prodigy really needed the main stage as we couldn't get close enough to hear them. When Slipknot started up they were drowning them out! Speak to anyone their any everyone was saying the main stage should of gone Pendulum, Prodigy, Slipknot. I missed Sunday to watch the MotoGP, I think I made the right choice! A mate said Steel Panther were amazingly funny though.

I wasn't at Download unfortunately, but if anyone hasn't heard of Steel Panther then I urge you to listen to this...

They're actually pretty good musicians... Started out as a Van Halen tribute act apparently!
