Download is pretty much for the bands that can't play anywhere else. I'm pretty much sure that Slipknot have played there every year since i've been aware of it. Also, I think most genuine metal fans have started going to festivals in Europe and especially Germany because they get the better line ups.

Is it me or does the line up now fall into two camps....the *I dont wanna be anywhere near the stage when they are on* and *cool........ they playing? wicked!!!!*????
