Methinks it was Slipknot by far, but to be honest that was expected, besides Slipknot it has to be someone like Hatebreed or Killswitch Engage, their sets were fucking amazing... Then again, so were Suicide Silence... Too many good bands!

I'm superficial, I like skinny, hot, little punk boys. Lip rings, bad hair, designer shades and pink studded belts. I do not like big beardy old men, or the intimidating crowds that go to see them, but OMG Down were amazing. I'm a convert, where they go I'll go. Seriously. Screw the cliches.

Worst band : Marylin Manson. he was fucking shittt! someone heckled "did you not see pendulum? they got the crowd fucking going!" and everyone around agreed.

SLIPKNOT!!! They were fucking unbelievable. Their set was awesome and they put on a kick ass show. Best part was at the end when Joey's drum kit tipped to the side and starting to spin round whilst he was still playing. I found that unbelievable.

Quite simply, Limp Bizkit. They pulled the best crowd, we were all going insane and they were loving it! Plus, Wes looked incredible and is a god. Limp Bizkit was all of the crowd re-living our younger "nu-metal" years!

By far it was The Prodigy!!!

Def Leppard were also amazing, but Prodigy got the crowd going so well, and unlike the other headliners, didn't stop blasting out music, for example, when talking to the crowd, they had some great beat in the background for us to jump to!

Everyone loved them, and they played all the classics, ending on Outer Space with the whole crowd singing along!
Perfection right there...

I am tempted to go for Korn, just because they played "Thoughtless" which is my favourite song... but i'm instead going for The Prodigy, mainly because of the atmosphere and how great it felt to be dancing among people of all ages to a band that reaches out to so many people. Saturday night was electric, the buzz amongst the crowd after their set and during the long walk back to the campsites was unforgettable!

Ok for this I feel il go away from the common trends of the big bands, such as Slipknot, The Crue, FNM and so on. I think a fantastic and refreshing act at this years download was Volbeat, not only was it something different they got the crowd at the second stage going.

Also, any band that gets a group of metal fans to do a "Wall of Love" instead of a Wall of Death has some balls.

Seeing Faith No More live and in such a tight set has got to be one of the highlights of my life. Just to be in Mike Pattons presence felt like being near royalty. I never thought the day would come when I got to see FNM live, but once confirmed I absolutely couldn't wait - and they surpassed all my expectations. Godfather Mike Patton is the bloody reason many of the bands were there in the first place...
Having said that, Limp Bizkit rocked as well, but FNM wins, hands down. All hail.

Obviously the best...

SLIPKNOT! without a doubt gave the best performance! They got 80,000 people down on the ground and got them all up again. They gave it all they had and more, I can't wait to see them again.

Slipknot

I didnt go unfortunatley, but i can imagen how immence slipknot would of been, they are one god damn awesome band.

SLIPKNOT RULED!

Slipknot were definitely the best after a pretty dire set by Marilyn Manson, Slipknot totally made up for it. Corey Taylor was so grateful to the crowd and have to give it another mention, got 80,000 people on their knees and when he shouted JUMP THE FUCK UP! everybody went crazy. Must say though a lot of the other bands I saw were great. Limp Bizkit, Korn, In case of Fire, Fightstar, Pendulum, Killswitch Engage, Black Stone Cherry, Journey and Trivium were all awesome. There was a guy crowdsurfing in a dingy during Trivium. That was cool even though he landed right on my head!

The Burning Question

I think Black Stone Cherry deserve the accolade of the best band at Download this year. Their bluesey, American rock mixed perfectly with the sun and the good times everybody was having at the festival.

Slipknot put on an amazing performance as usual, but I think it was Limp Bizkit who surprised everyone by stealing the show; welcome back Wes.

No need to even think it ha to b Faith No More, what an amazin performance. They were Great. The Highlight to my weekend. Especially with their cover of Poker Face and the fact Lady Gaga's FB Status was that she loved it as they r one of her fav bands n feels privaliged that Faith No More cover one of her songs. :)

Backyard Babies

Without a doubt for me it was Backyard Babies. Their set was flawless and their stage presence is just incredible, the energy from both the band and the crowd was amazing!

2 Many for 1

For me it was Slipknot, By far the most energetic band there but a suprising second was the Awsome Steel Panther... they blew the tent away.

Devil driver, Papa Roach, The answer and Korn were amazing. were as Faith no more and Limp bizkit were a Bit Shite, which was gay.

Still Mike Patton FTW!

Shit.. Forgot

The answer and Black stone Cherry and Dream Theatre were amazing in the sun... Jus jam away in your ears.

WTF was Manson playin at, that was a bit poor..

I reckon The Blackout were the best, to be honest. They played twice during and both sets were amazing. All the boys were so lovely after though show, and I enjoyed watching Slipknot with Sean and Rhys :)
My Passion were immense too! They always put on an amazing show, and my 15th time seeing them in 2 years, to the biggest crowd ever. They're brilliant and I'm so glad there's loads of stuff about them in this weeks issue of Kerrang! :D

The obvious answer would be Slipknot, as they were insane. But for it was probably Static X. It was such a great set, lots of power and energy. Plus they sounded great, possibly better than they do recorded.

Why no mention of....

Meshuggah!?

Admittedly they clashed halfway through the mighty faith no more's set (whoever organised that deserves a firm slap to the knackers) but it was most certainly worth going to see some mind meltingly good metal. Also Opeth slayed!

Rocked, Rocked til I dropped!

Love my classic rock so my review is a little biased I'm afraid, but each to their own!.. Leppard were as usual, AWESOME! Wish they'd played a longer set but good choices. A big home-coming show has been long overdue & well deserved. Crue kicked ass though seemed a bit wasted! Skin, Tesla & in particular Thunder were all great value. Steel Panther were funny, cliched & a bit close to steppin over that line -but man can they play! Shinedown were great, wish they'd played a bit longer! Enjoyed BSC twice this week, once with Heaven's Basement... Get these guys to Download 2010 -they rock! Off to AC/DC at Wembley next sat! Freakin Awesome!!

Best Band at download 09!

There were a lot of awesome bands on, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Motley Crue, they all blew the place apart! However, I think that Serpico were the best band at download for the fact that they are relatively unheard of but they did an amazing set on the red bull stage and they gave so much passion and determination on stage that they put some of the bigger acts to shame.

Well, I think EVERY band has been suggested so far, so I'll add my own opinion, albeit I know you won't agree with it;

My Passion!

I hope to God someone actually saw thier performance, before going away and writing that 'review' of them. They were far from 'lacklustre'; quite the opposite infact. Energetic and amazing as always. Big love <3

Best Band/Why Did The Voting Stop

Best Band without a doubt to me is Five Finger Death Punch.

They have great compassion, creativitiy, brought back what metal was meant to be, always have you craving for more, etc.

It is so amazing to watch them on stage, they know just what it takes to get the crowd going.

I have watched them from way before they united till present. They went through some very hard blood sweat, etc But, you know they did not give up, they gave it all they had and was patient.

One of my most favorite things about these guys is that they truely care about their fans. If anyone meets them, they will remember you the next time around. They treat people with the highest respect and appreciation. They get such a great fealing on stage to see how people react to their music. They do this not only because they love music but, because how the fans can relate, understand and really LOVE them!!

My 8yr old niece LOVES them and get this.which I thought was the most cutest thing...we were listening to one of 5FDP songs and she said lets bang our heads, so I agreed, she told me to stop and said I was doing it wrong and showed me how to do it for that song. She said you have to follow the beat. lol

I could go on and on about the guys!! I have met them nurmerous times and they just LOVE talking with you or anyone. However, I've known Ivan for 6 years or more but, they all have big hearts and so very proud of them and the accomplishments they have done. I will ALWAYS stand beside them no matter what. ;)

Now, for the second part..I am trying to hard to vote for 5FDP for the Kerrang International Best Band but you stopped the voting. Why?? I really wanted to put more votes in for the guys. Plus vote in the other catagories. But, now we cannot.

I hope you have a very wonderful day.
