[edit] 163.1.95.112's edits

The user with IP 163.1.95.112 has been making numerous silly edits, and still believes that "James Dodd" has a claim to fame as organising Metallica's surprise gig at Download festival. This is clearly immature nonsensical tripe and I can personally vouch for this fact being fabricated, albeit not maliciously.

These are anonymous edits. As a side point, the vandal should not spend time editing an encyclopaedia that he thinks is a waste of time; his continuous efforts to undermine this wealth of (pseudo-)knowledge appears to vindicate Wikipedia's position as one of the greatest resources of information available.

Some of you may remember an article about "James Dodd" with this claim which was then put up for deletion. The result was, of course, delete.

I think Masud is getting ideas above his station. He is not Mr. Wikipedia, nor is anyone for that matter. Wikipedia is about the accuracy and integrity of ideas and knowledge, not about boosting one's own ego, or engaging in petty vendettas with other users for personal satisfaction.

I'm glad these glaringly obvious facts have finally been established and now permanently recorded in Wikipedia for all to see. Masud 22:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] twisted realm

i've never heard of this twisted realm thing DOES USER: x-rATED have any proof of it actual involvement with the festival? Jamie-planetx 11:32, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Jamie-planetx: Twisted Realm dose exist - the details are on my website and you look it up on the offical download website for proof.

Furter to that, I would like to point it is not offically involved with the festival - it's just a promoter and a few bands getting together on campfield playing some songs. -23:07, 24 April 2006 SanityFreeZone

im not sure about this, the entry should stay it seems to be the only media coveraged your gonna get, im not sure what you plan to do i mean do you have a stage is it the NEW campsite stage, live nation have already stated that there will be non-stop campsite entertainment this year do you plan to be apart of that? or DO YOU PLAN TO OUT-DO IT? im just checkin the site and there is bugger all there, but if you mean the boards i feel very sorry for you. i do have semi-high respect for serj-tankian, the aparent creator of this horiible idea, i mean god only knows how many idiots take a guitar for there own entertainment, surely this is nothing special? please respond Jamie-planetx 16:31, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] new page

i thought of placing the 2006 section into a new page and keep this page to concern the history of the download festival i thought the 2006 section looked clutered and out of place, i have named the page This years download festival so it can be re-edited to contain information about future download festivals i have removed previous talk about 2006 and applyied it to the This years download festival talk page.--172.209.53.212 23:30, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea to me, the current page is always suseptable to vanadalism from people placing fake line ups so it could solve some problems. But the articles would need to be merged after the festival is it really worth it? --Seth Turner 07:10, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

yeah i was kinda ticked about that Jamie-planetx 21:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism and False Lineups

Again, like the page that was merged with this article, this page is becoming increasingly annoying to maintain, people keep adding bands to the lineup that arent playing. Even more annoying is that they're badly spelt so it looks even more unprofessional. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BenjMartin (talk • contribs) 10:16, May 5, 2006 (UTC)

I suggest that this page get locked from editing by new users and non users. -- BenjMartin

Someone at the IP of 86.4.216.155 keeps editing this article and adding false bands to the lineup. This article needs locked. --BenjMartin

why it's constantly needing updated? such as your myspace a few bits of false information are easily spotted and rectified by the likes of us. Jamie-planetx 21:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I meant locked from new users and non users. --BenjMartin

Ok REALLY starting to take the piss now. I have had to revert edits about 6 times over the weekend. --BenjMartin

No worries, I have requested semi-protection for the page. --- K a s h ^{Talk | email} 17:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Correct it and lock it please —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.192.167.139 (talk • contribs) 19:18, December 28, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ireland 2006

Korn didn't play at all (even though they were meant to), instead Alice in Chains played main stage. Conorobradaigh 01:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The rumour out in the feild was that the guitarist broke his wrist during a drinking session the night before. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 193.120.102.137 (talk • contribs) 16:20, June 12, 2006 (UTC)

korn played at rock am ring here, but i think their best days a over yet :(

there is a major break since the old guitarist has been brainwashed by the U.S. religious right and left the band. the drummer isnt as cool before, too.

im little disappointed.

BTW: i see funeral for a friend on download playing on kerrang!TV right now. does anyone know why they didnt play at RaR? werent they invited? did they refuse? any information? ive missed this greatest new metal band. a german —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.212.136.34 (talk • contribs) 18:37, June 23, 2006 (UTC)

It would be nice to see this article updated with at least a mention of Download Ireland 2006 with Metallica and G'n'R headlining. - Maddzy —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.71.30.109 (talk • contribs) 13:04, July 9, 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 2006 US Festivals

Can someone add information on the two festivals from '06 that took place in the US? Informative link. I don't know enough about the connection between the two "branches" (UK/US) to do so intelligently. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 23:56, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

theyre not so much a rock/metal festival in the vein of previous donington festivals, they are much smaller events and feature bands such as the killers, etc.

[edit] 2004 Lineup

Anyone able to modify the 2004 lineup to reflect the fact that Instruction actually played twice on the Saturday. As well as their slot as shown, they also opened the main stage (as originally billed) CaptainCarrot105 13:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emo bands

I think that in the genre section at the top of the page it should state that the festival has emo bands playing. it says it has grunge bands that play, butif you look at the lineups, especially 2005's you will see conciderably more emo bands than grunge. so i dont see why emo keeeps on getting deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.120.81.205 (talk • contribs) 15:09, March 14, 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:ATT for why this keeps getting removed. When the Download Festival organizers start describing the festival as an Emo festival, then this page will be updated to include that. AlistairMcMillan 16:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Well they arent going to call it emo due to it having somewhat of a bad press amongst metal and hard rock fans. people call genres of music all kinds of things, jus like one of the festivals main organisers "Kerrang!". That magazine is full of emo, yet they still insist on calling it rock.

the fact is, the festival features a lot of emo bands so i think it should be included in the genre section. Even when you click on some of the links to the bands wiki sites they are described as emo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.120.81.205 (talk • contribs) 14:49, March 19, 2007 (UTC)

That's nice. Please read WP:ATT. Please note, zero results for "emo" on the Download Festival website. AlistairMcMillan 16:53, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the lovely sarcastic response, but when i tried to link the word "emo" to the emo music wiki, the link didn't seem to work. Im sure if you ask most of the people who attent the festival, they would aggree that there are indeed emo bands playing at the festival. Probably the reason why emo comes under fire on the download forums. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.189.96.213 (talk • contribs) 16:02, March 20, 2007 (UTC)

Sorry but unless you can come up with a "reliable source" saying that the Download Festival is a festival of emo music, then we can't say that in the article. Thanks. AlistairMcMillan 16:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Because My Chemical Romance headlining with bands like 30 Seconds To Mars, Enter Shikari, Bowling for Soup etc.. playing and past bands like Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Moneen, :(, The Audition, The All American Rejects, Alexisonfire, Aiden, From First To Last, Coheed and Cambria, Funeral For A Friend, The Used, Biffy Clyro, Hoobastank, Taking Back Sunday, Sum 41, Thrice, Brand New, Violent Delight, From Autumn To Ashes, A, INME, Etc.. are all metal bands ? Emo is part of download and claiming it's not is just rediculous.Karl-OH 11:07, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] March 2007 vandalism

well, it seems some prick has gone about writing "moashing" bastards accross the 2007 lineup. clearly some little turd needs to learn how to spell and fuck off back to there gay little v fest. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.120.81.205 (talk • contribs) 15:22, March 30, 2007 (UTC)

That vandalism was reverted two days ago. Please watch your language. AlistairMcMillan 15:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
