Slipknot closed the second day of Download with a destructive set that saw the Main Stage become a scene of chaos. On fifth song 'Before I Forget', a wall of fire shot up behind the band. Afterwards frontman Corey Taylor told the crowd that playing Donington was his dream since he was 12 years old, and added: "I’ve never been so excited for a show in my life.” Pic: Danny North
