Download in danger

Thinking of hurling bottles at bands like My Chemical Romance at this year's Download festival?

Think again, as those fleeting moments of twattery could make the festival less appealing to headlining bands and jeopardise next year's festival.

The news emerged at a Download Festival fan forum on April 27, where a hand-picked selection of fans met with the organisers Live Nation in London and discussed every aspect of the three-day event.

"If Download didn't book acts of the pulling power of My Chemical Romance, it would die," says Live Nation director Stuart Galbraith. "The bigger bands support the smaller ones."

In other news, a number of bands have been added to the festival which takes place at Donington on June 8, 9 and 10. Joining the festival are As I Lay Dying, Silverstein, Flood Of Red, LostAlone, Architects, Priestess, Panic Cell, My Alamo, Damone, Cat The Dog, Voodoo Six, In This Moment, Fastway, Cynic and Fair To Midland, who are signed to SOAD frontman Serj Tankian's Serjical Strike label.

Tickets for Download 2007 are on sale now. Prices are as follows: a full weekend ticket: £125, camping: £20, Parking: £5 for the weekend (£10 on the day) and lockers: £5. There are a variety of ticket packages available to buy. Log onto www.downloadfestival.co.uk for the full list. This year's campsite opens at midday on Wednesday, June 6 and will close at noon on Monday, 11. Tickets are available from www.downloadfestival.co.uk and www.aloud.com, or by calling Aloud on 0870 998 8888.

Yesh, My Chemical Romance are good but if you don't like them, go on a different date, don't throw bottles at them!

It may be funneh at the time but like it says, what if it does jeopardise next years festival!

I do like MCR, and many other bands too, but the easiest thing to do is if you don't like them is simply not go on the date they are playing, or put your fingers in your ears whilst they're playing!

P O N'z LLL!

This is stupid, dont get stupid little power pop emo bands like MCR. It says big bands, so why dont they stick to metal bands like Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica. Its supposed to be a metal/rock festival. Not for emo's.

hahahahaha what a load of crap MCR are not the band to atract the most amount of people hahaha you are a mindless idiot fan boy or girl u know fuck all about music. u can call someone a idiot if they dont like a band. its all a matter of opinion. and what you siad makes you sound like a chav. download would have sold out even if mcr wernt playing. and i think youll find bands like iron maiden and linkin park attract more fans because they are huge bands with mixed age fans mcr's fans are all from 11- 16 who wouldnt be aloud to go with out their mummys so shut the fuck up.
in response to the main bit mcr will not put off bottleing mcr haha most real bands know why mcr get bottled coz their shite. they are not welcome at download. real bands will not get bottled simple as we do not want bands that get famous of the back off kerrap who bum shitty bands like mcr and fall ou boy.

dude,(thetrooper), ok.i am 12. i love MCR.so what? they're a good band.so are linkin park. and MCR were Iron Maiden fans too. are u Brittish? i noticed you're saying 'mummys',which is actally i think spelled 'mummies' or maybe i'm wrong.but dude,yeah it's opinion,and if people love MCR,don't condem them.they attract tons of fans too.however,i'm not really fond of like Panic! At The Disco or Fall Out Boy. i'd rather listen to Ozzy or KoRn,or Linkin Park,or even Marylin Manson. but yeah dude,MCR is a good band as well as big. so please calm down.

yeah but remember,mcrluva4lyf, you're not emo just because u slit your wrists,and u don't have 2 do it to be emo. people are like,oh u slit your wrists,you're EMO! NO! EMO DOES NOT EQUAL WRIST CUTTING! not saying MCR is emo,but just know the stereotype 'emo' is much more than slicing your wrists!

You shouldn't call anyone emo if you don't know what it is, which, I'm guessing you don't, since you've just called My Chem that. Tehcnically, they're classed as rock. Sorry to disappoint all you MCR-haters out there. I know you can't think of anything else to call them, so, find another band to pick on, aight?

My Chem just generally prefer to write about the darker things in life, like most bands do (either that or being in love. *yawn*). I think it's much more interesting that way anyway, and hence, am an MCR fan.

And even if I wasn't a fan, I'd still argue this point - Just because YOU don't like them, there are many reasons (that you may not see) that other people DO like them.

And throwing bottles at them last year at Download was just awful. It was uncalled for, and I was totally put off by it. Bands should be able to play to their fans without fear of getting hit with bottles of urine!

Is it totally wrong to think that?

I think not.

maidens headlining so shh. and anyway - the constant cycle of the same damn bands will eventually get boring and no one will care. and what happens when they retire? Let other bands have a chance, if you dont like it, go watch another band - korns on at the same time as MCR if your that bothered!

MCR ARE NOT A BIG BAND!!!

Maybe MCR have pulling power, but their pulling power at a festival like this is seriously a minority...and in all honesty, there isnt not enough kerrang friendly emo bands playing over the course of the whole weekend to bring the EMO fan base that MCR are expected to pull.
And when you consider, a flavour of the month band for 13 year olds like MCR being above genre defining, and highly influential band like Megadeth, Slayer, Korn, Manson, Motley Crue...need i go on...
MCR belong at Download, i dont like them personaly, but their position at the top of the bill, or even on the main stage in general is highly ludocrus.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but which band has blown the charts and taken every insult thrown at them. personally i feel that mcr are huge and its people who are Pissed off because their fave band arnt as big as mcr or there just old now. MCR ARE GOING DOWN IN HISTORY. WITH METALICA MAIDEN MANSON AND CRADLE OF FILTH!
i have no objection to any other band coz evryone has a right to rock but its people on these damn message boards talking about how MCR suck that really skrews them up.
if u hate them GET OVER IT their black parade wasnt their only album go revise their first one it kicks arse.

Sorry for the essey

You better apologise for the essey, but first apologise for the essay.

Plenty of bands have insults thrown at them, not everyone likes every band. There's a simple underlying fact though, that EVEN LESS PEOPLE LIKE MCR. You appear somewhat ignorant to that. Shame.

Secondly, Cradle of Filth are not going down in history, so if MCR are going down in history with them, then super. The only notoriety CoF have is with having a stunted vocalist with an unusual appetite for common household cleaning products. Are you suggesting that MCR drink Domestos? Suits me.

Some sense

hey arent we all music lovers here????? so why are we bitching against eachother?
look i dispise the band, i personally think their music is pointless no offence to their fans who would probbably slit their wrist to see them play one chord on the main download stage which makes me thing the organisers are trying not to drown the rest of us in emo blood. anyway bottling is a pointless exercise, i ask, why?
just dont applaude or anything, theyll get the message, do we really want to resort to "pikey" tactics? what is is what it is to be honest, so why dont we all grow up and let the mcr baby fans have their bottles and their fun...so what if their headlining, its a flavour of the month thing, not because their so fantastic musically

Sad to see this was the only part of the night that was reported on when the whole evening was about so much more. If you want the whole story then head over to the Download forums and speak to the people who actually went.

Personally I have no problem with Mcr playing download,to be honest Id rather have my kids listen to them than the new girls aloud shite or whatever. But its there position on the bill that has sparked all the conflict. When you have have slayer,dream theater and megadeth all playing the same festival in lower slots I cant stop thinking that livenation have just gone for the most commercially sucessful option at the moment as a way to shift some more tickets. But then again if slayer were headlining id be torn between them and koRn at least im in no doubt as to where I'll be on the friday night, see you all at koRn.
Ps You wouldnt bottle someone on the street because you didnt like their music,people only do it at festivals because they feel safe from retaliation which is exactly why chavvy people never dare give anyone shit when there on their own.Dont be a chav dont throw bottles go see koRn .peace.

hmmm

tehy are going to get bottled whether they like it or not people are going to set out on the mission of seeing how long they can last for on the stage. there is nothing that live nation can do about it its going to happen either way, i personally dont like em so il go and see korn but i can see what happened at prodigy last year happening again which is going to ruin it for loads of people, also all the people that cant see korn are going to go and bottle MCR as something to do, iv read somewhere that korn asked for that slot but as there are 2 places free on main stage friday i dont know why they wont play during the day on friday. anyway i dont see MCR lasting on the stage very long they are going to get bottled the ratio of metal heads to people (emo's) wanting to see MCR is going to be so great i can only see trouble coming of it.

'that's our way of telling them they don't belong on stage'?!
Don't go watch the if you don't wanna see them. Donnington's a big place. Go do something else for the 45 minutes they're on stage.
Would you throw a bottle at someone on the street if you didn't want to see them there?

Right on! You know that without the cunning distraction of MCR, you'd be tripping over foulmouthed little rugrats when you're piling your way to the front. Pure genius from the organisers there!
Maybe It's a ploy, to get all the little bastards in to one massive class room, for one big off English lesson. They fucking need it!

i live in kent. so bascially would it be possible they would arrive on the thursday. if so me n my mates r screwed for getting up there. and getting a spot near our mates.

i hate having to wait for tickets.

wich i could just collect em at the box office.

Pulling Power?

MCR is the least likely band there to have pulling power out of any headlining band at download.

Heres a thought: maybe they put KoRn and MCR on at the same times on Purpose.

People with MCR taste can see MCR.

Everyone else (which is just about 7/8ths of people at the festival) can go see KoRn.

yay for everyone.

PERSO)NALLY I DONT SEE UR F***** PROBLEM WITH MCR.
KORN KICK ARSE AND THEY WERE ONLY PUT ON AT THE SAME TIME TO STOP DICKS LIKE SOME OF U THROWING BOTTLES AT THEM.
Have any of u heard their first and second albums. NO?
WELL DONT JUDGE THEM ON THE BLACK PARADE THEYRE ONLY BEING DIFFERENT FOR A CHANGE UNLIKE SOME F****** BANDS THAT I CANT TELL EACH SONG FROM THE OTHER.

MCR Are NOT Emo

MCR Rock, There Not Emo, People Just Lable Them Coz They Probly Dont Fit In To What They Like, People Shouldnt Label Themselves Either, If Any Of The MCR Members Get Hurt Coz Of Them Then Theres Enough Fans Out There That Will Do Something About It, People Who Bottle Just Coz They Dont Like The Band Or Whatever Are Sad...MCR Are The Best Band At The Moment, Mabie Not For Some But Its My Own Opinion And They Are For Me

Reading part of this article....

It overall seems like Kerrang are trying to persuade us not to bottle their new favourite band:
"Oh please, please dont bottle the bestest band ever, oh me and my primary school friends will cry and slit our wrists if MCR are bottled. The festival will be poo without MCR....boo hoo."

DUDE I agree! can we all stop fighting and just shut up? if u don't like a band,that's your opinion so u don't have to take it out on the band anyone,just don't think about it! and if u don't like that someone hates a band,they are not worthless pieces of poop or something like that. everyone is special and there is some form of good in everyone,every band,every concert. i mean, let's just cut the stereotypical crap too and forget arguing. please,if u wanna spend the rest of eternity a happy person, i suggest u all watch yourself on the internet and whenever. PLEASE! WHO'S WITH ME?!?

Mcr are not worthy of playing that spot in download...yes people may like them but i think someone like Megadeth or Marylin Manson is More suited to that positon.mcr WILL get bottled.i personally wont bottle them but just look what happened to them at the last festival they played...

emo??

ok for a start i have to state i love mcr, korn, metallica and maiden..so my dilema is who am i gonna see korn or mcr...
but my main reason for adding a comment to this silly arguement is to state a simple fact.. but please correct me if im wrong..

when a band is said to be playing *emo* music.. they are in fact playing the genre of ROCK called, * EMOtional ROCK* am i right??
so all u twats that have just sed emo is not rock. oh and just for proof i took the liberty of finding this on the net for you from wikipedia..."Emo is a genre of rock music. Since its inception, emo has come to describe several independent variations of music, linked loosely but with common ancestry. As such, use of the term has been the subject of much debate.

In its original incarnation, the term emo was used to describe a subgenre of hardcore punk "

THANKYOU!!!!!!

Finally someone who knows what emo actually means. I have to say I love MCR but i'm not 12, i'm 17 and not an emo and most of my friends who like them are older than me or at least the same age. In fact, at the gig in Manchester i was standin beside some guys who were at least 40, so there not all fans are emo kids. Also if any of you were really fans you'd know that mcr hate it when people describe them as emo! Saying that, I do know some emos and they do not slit their wrists, that is just a stereotype so shut up! MCR sing about stuff that really affects people's lives, but yes I do agree that 10 year olds are too young to get it!

My Chem rule, go to hell all of you motherfuckers who disagree!!!!!!!!!!

Will Everyone Shut Up?
MCR Were At Their Best When They Released 'I Brought You My Bullets...'
Now, Personally, I Think They've Gone Down The Shitter.
If You Like Them I Don't Care, Good For You.
But Don't Be Telling People They're Brilliant When WE DON'T CARE.
Keep Your Music Taste To Yourself+I Would Love To Go See MSI.

MSI to play London's Mean Fiddler - TICKETS HERE!
Posted on 04/17/2007
Mindless Self Indulgence is pleased to announce that they will be playing a very special show at the Mean Fiddler in London, Monday, April 30th for just £8.00!

Tickets for this show are available - NOW HERE.

We gave kids on the MSI mailing list first swing at these tickets, so many are already gone. Be forewarned, tickets for the other two Euro headlining shows sold out very quickly -- though those shows were moved to larger venues to accommodate demand, this London show will -NOT- be. When these tickets are gone, they're gone.

Be sure to grab your tickets HERE -- if you want your friends to join you for the show, be sure to give them the heads up ASAP, too.

The show will be 14+, but customers under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult. Exact set times and support
acts will be announced as soon as we have them, but we expect everything to start up around 7:00PM (19:00). For more information on the rest of MSI's European tour, please visit our SHOWS page.

My chemical romance

Yer MCR rock, look fair enough everyone has there different music taste but untill bands like Kasbian mcr don't try to offend other bands, I mean there are some bands out there who I don't like but I'm not offened them and making their fans feel liek there in some kind of cult, so people who offend MCR are kinda stupid beacuse if you will notice the above messages you will notice one thing, the fans...they stick up for them so next time your try to offend My chemical romance, try saying it to the bands facing instead of posting message ok guys...got it...and fellow fans can we keep the abuse to a low cos its might start of some abuse war...and that ain't good but apart from that KEEP ON THE MCR ARMY.
and before people say anyhting I'm not some old dude...I young free and love my chemical romance

why are some ppl making out mcr as emo or not emo as a reeeally bad thing?yea,as someone said,EMO IS A GENRE OR ROCK MUSIC,highlight the word genre,idiots,not everyone has same music taste,but i would think emo's are better than chavs,goths are too..so stop all being poo's and shut up and go to download and see either korn or mcr,which ever you like,idiots.

for god sakes

will you all give it a rest!
firstly who cares if mcr are headlinging? who cares when there playing? if you wanna watch them.. watch them if ya dont...dont simple as that.
secondly dont bottle them or any other band for that matter. how would you like it if somebody did that to you? or to your favourite band. you wouldnt like it so just dont do it. its a chav thing that chavs invented. its disgusting and vile and so very wrong!
thirdly shut up with all the horrid comments about emos and goths ect...
that is they way that they choose to live and they like it. you wouldnt like it if people discriminated you like that would you. so shut up! it so annoying. plus if you start arguing with emos your basically taking the chav side of the war on emo.

thankyou! now please people calm down. yes you have your opinions but keep them to yourselves. jeeze. its not that hard to do is it?

mcr...best ever???

personally, i dont have a problem with mcr. im not realy into them but i get why people love them. I also see why people hate them. I ddnt mind 3 cheers as i listened with an open mind, however after trying the black parade i gave up. not my thing at all.

now, before anyone moans about me being biased. im not. so shh.

mcr, are popular. yes. they are successful, yes. BUT, the best EVER. im sorry, but no way. you cant compair a band like mcr to the greats as Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath.Even classics from other genres such a Bob Marley or The Beatles or Pink Floyd. Eventualy, MCR will not be looked on as a "classic" band in the same way as these "classics" are. Im sorry but they just WONT. (again. im not being biased so shh) For a Band to be one of the BEST EVER. They needed to Define Music at some point in history. The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Led Zep And Sabbath practicaly made rock what it is today. Anyone who denies that obviously doesnt know there music history. So to say MCR are on par or better than these classics is SLIGHTLY OTT. they are big yeah, they will b remembered 4 a while 2 come as a "goth, punk emo"(...whatever genre, i dnt realy care.) that were popular. but in the end they will disapear while one of the other classics will live on. THEY ARENT THE BEST...EVER. in other words...(AND IM STILL NOT BEING BIASED SO shhhh) dnt expect a 2030 MCR reunion like the sabbath reunion still going on these days.

thank you. this is my view. im in titled to my opinion. so dnt squeel at me like certain people do. I dnt like that MCR haters arent aloud to say they suck, but a MCR fan can tell the haters to go die. Now thats fucking hypercrital and stupid.

goodbye.
