One of my best festival memories is Fatboy Slim, T in the Park 1999

Dancing in a tent, not a care in the world, like no one was watching

I even bought that brown #1 t shirt there

Massively envious. I bet that was phenomenal.
I wished I’d have enjoyed that time better, no camera phones, no social media, optimism everywhere.

I live 10 miles from Download and we were in our garden listening to Metallica, the sound system must be amazing!

So does the band get on? Slash hasn't even looked at Axl I don't think?! Didn't acknowledge when he put his hand on his shoulder. Etc.

From what I’ve read i don’t think any of them get on with Axl. They’re there for the money and they tolerate him because they can’t do it without him.

Axl is apparently very difficult for anyone to get on with 😂

Oh me too 😍😍😍 I desperately wanted to go to download but just couldn't make it work.
Got so pissed off with seeing people post that weekend, I booked Halestorm for December 😂

I’m glad I missed the Download traffic 😀. Got Maiden booked in just over a week though

Justgorgeous · 25/06/2023 00:10

Slash 🖤

LadyVF · 25/06/2023 00:10

The band must be interacting ok. They’ve been touring again for what, 5/6 years now (this last, current tour). Where they turn up on time, and perform for 3.5/4 hrs (so it’s no bloody wonder Axl’s voice is a bit shonky!)
They’re probably just a bit bored of each other!

They were ducking awful, they had the energy of a dead slug bathing in a pot of salt.

Apparently the singer had a throat issue, but he looked like his mum had made him turn up.

Great summing up.

and I paid to see them last week

Yes, they're all absolutely tolerating Axl. Axl seems very much on his best behaviour and is keeping interaction with Duff and Slash to a minimum.

That’s because he’s a butthead.

hoping you get the biff reference

Notice how Slash’s hat didn’t fall off during his handstand? It’s officially a part of him now

If he had any sense , It's now a wig . He takes it off and goes out and about . No one recognises him

VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji · 25/06/2023 00:12

I was trying to find somewhere to watch download. I saw Karrang were covering it but couldn’t find where

OMG - I’m not sure I can visualise Slash without his hair. What about a bald Slash?!

Never too old for a Fest 😊. I’m 68 and going to 4 this year - can’t manage the big ones though ☹️. Can still put my own tent up too.

First saw GnR at Hammersmith 1987. Love seeing them live.

Hammersmith must have been something special. The following year DS2 was born days before Donington and I was so cross we couldn’t go. DD lives near there now and listened to a lot of Download from their bedroom window!

Agree never too old, I’m 67 and not done yet!

No coverage on tv this year, Sky Arts pulled out from the highlights. Twats.

@Jellykat - did they just cut her off for overrunning? I'm flicking between channels and just presumed there was a sound problem

Metallica are my fav band ever. Wish I'd seen them this year.

One year I saw them Joey jordison from slipknot had to replace Lars for some reason and another time the guy from Korn replaced James! So I've only seen the real line up once
