Got info from last night. MCR had thousands of bottles thrown at them when they went on stage. There were anti-MCR flags. As soon as they got bored, half of the field went into the tent to see Korn which was dangerously over capacity. Lots of injuries because of crushing etc. Apparently the main stage audience was probbaly half what it was when Megadeth were playing. MCR came off early, but apparently completed their set.

okay... this message is to all the people who think its cool to throw bottles at my chemical romance...

i cant believe anyone would think its cool to throw glass bottles at anyone. especialy mcr while they're onstage. i know everyone has their freedom of speach and everything but this is just wrong ppl! i think i speak for all the mcr fans out there when i say they are the greatest band in the world and they are the last people in this universe who deserve to get fucking bottles pelted at them! come on ppl! listen to yourselves! it is so sad enough to hear that ppl are that fucked up enough to throw bottles at them, and then to hear people thinking its cool on the internet! i mean wtf is that all about!

the only ones who deserve bottles thrown at them are the assholes who think its cool to throw bottles at MCR. so i hope those people rot in the burning depths of hell and you wouldnt know good music if it came up 2 you and decked you in the face.

Okay, that's just real low to throw bottles at MCR. What the hell did they do to people? If you don't like them that's fine, but that's a little overboard to throw millions of bottles at them. Also about the anti-MCR flags? You really have to go out of your way to make those? You people are assholes, who need a life.

It is a disgrace when this happens to bands.

In the tent for Reading 2005, I had to watch Fightstar get bottled which was just fucking low. It's about the music. If you don't like it, you're entitled to your opinion, but what -the fuck- gives you the right to run the risk of seriously injuring musicians and spoiling the concert for every who is watching them for a reason.

My Chemical Romance are epic and if you can't understand that, nothing gives you the right to act like the scum of the earth towards them and their supporters.

You should feel serious shame for missing the whole point of live music. Animals

Who cares if they get bottles thrown at them? They are professionals and as such probably expect it now, although in future it may put them off playing Download.

The one thing that really annoyed me was the chant of "Aiden fuck off" when they were playing...thats low and narrow minded. No one is forcing you to watch them...go to the Dimebag stage if they bother you that much and let people who like the band enjoy it. I only know that happened cause I watched the webcast...

They do deserve to be bottled off...download is a metal festival.. MCR are not metal...they deserve to headline give it a name...because they suit that kind of festival gig....not fucking download
its a disgrace but atleast they made up for their mistake by supplying real metals fans with korn when my chem are on

I heard that Gerard Way made a comment about his engagement, and I can't believe that someone who allegedly loves his fans can make such a tactless comment. ok ask his fans to be happy for him, yes, but the way he came out with it was totally cruel

how is asking his fans to be happy for him cruel?
he deserves a private life, he shouldnt have to lie , i know for one all the old hardcore mcr fans me included [ pre the black parade!] are happy for him and think the teenies who dream of marring him are sad and should really grow up, mcr are my favorite band, but im not gonna sit here and say there the best band in the world, cause there not, i hate the way that 90% of all mcr fans now think they are better than the supporters of 2 years proir, just cause know mcr are a craze you think your being all cool,
saying mcr saved your life has just become a habbit with most of you, and its ruining it for the rest of us

I went to download i saw mcr they were amazing as were other bands including manson, linkin park and 30 seconds to mars. What shocked and i must say disappointed me was the haters that were there. Everywhere there was anti emo signs and i thought that was sad and pathetic. If you dont like mcr here's a wicked idea go listen to someone else or i dont know change the bloody channel! Without support of bands like mcr download would not have offered such variety and i for one was only dissappointed that a festival created for what i consider alternative people had so many narrow minded and judgmental people involved in it. It rocked except for this string of hatred at the end of the day who cares if mcr are emo if you like their music listen to it if you dont then here's a wild idea ...dont. Many lovely people were there though which made up for this and the festival was amazing. Yes mcr did get bottles thrown at them as did aiden but what amuses me is if i dont like a band i wouldnt waste my time throwing things at them i would have just watched someone else. The fact these people went out of their way to stay watch them and then throw things at them when so called 'metal' was available to them says more about them then any fan of mcr. It didnt bother the band anyway and they stayed happily and performed well so those people missed bands they claim belong to download for one they hate and had no effect on them what so ever which i flat out find amusing ;p

My Personal Thoughts On The Whole Bottling Issue Is...

Don't Fucking Do It. Seriously, Come On People. What Is The Point? Does It Actually Give You GREAT Satisfaction? Maybe It Does For Like A Few Minutes Afterwards And Shizz, But That's Like It. You Might Aswell Go Running Infront Of Traffic, That Gives You Way More Fun =D Seriously. You Should So Try It Some Time =D

The Only People I Think Should Be Bottled, Are So Obviously Chavs/Neds And All The Gay People Who Hate/Detest Goths, Punks, Emos And People Like Them. It Actually Makes My Blood Boil When I Get Comments About How I Am. That's A Different Subject Though... And I'll Save That Rant For When It Pops Up =D

Okey Dokey, Well I'm Off. See Ya' People.

'What Is The Point?'
'The Only People I Think Should Be Bottled, Are So Obviously ..... '
rofl way to contradict yourself
all the people crying about bottle throwing, maybe try going to a download first, quite a few bottles get thrown at everyone and everything. Tbh blame the retard organiser who thought making them a headliner was a good idea.
Also in response to the person talking about the people that stayed at main stage to bottle them, just be grateful that the vast majority of people at donny were trying to cram in/outside the korn tent, otherwise mcr would have got it a LOT worse HAHAHAHAHAHA

Posted by kopparberger | June 11, 2007 3:49 PM | Reply to this

Be grateful? Well iam sure the 8 year old boy standing beside my friend who got a full bottle of coke launched at his head and nearly got knocked out because some idiot thought they were clever for throwing it was real grateful. My point was not as bad as it could have been but simply staying to bottle a band you hate is to me pointless when you can go somewhere else. It's a pathetic thing that someone would try and spoil other peoples enjoyment of a band. Thankfully everyone i went with were better people then that and mcr played a good set so the whole thing was a waste of time for those small minded people. I had a great time and enjoyed mcr and the bottling was no where near as bad as people made out the worst was while the crowd was waiting for linkin park. Alot more bottles were thrown then yet i think alot of people like to think mcr got the worst of it when in truth it wasent any where near as bad as people are making out.

I don't care for My Chemical Romance that much, but throwing bottles at them when they're performing on stage, is NO MANNER. If you hate them, why not keep the hatred just to yourself? Throwing bottles is not cool, or clever. Whoever threw them must've drained all the etiquette out of him/herself.

Posted by AJ | June 11, 2007 4:37 PM | Reply to this

I was at download and i didnt throw any bottles but i really dont like thier music so i went to see korn instead .... before MCR wer about to headline i watched Velvet Revolver who wer absolutely KILLER!!!! And on saturday i watched Motley Crue in the Tent and they also wer amazin!!! MCR still could have had a good slot at download but i dont think they wer capable of headlining on that day. I think a band like Velvet Revolver or Motley Crue or even Megadeth should hav headlined. Im not one of these people who voice my opinions so drastically like saying "Oh my god MCR shud just all die" but they made the wrong decision by choosing them to headline that day.

BTW Buckcherry deserved way more time than they got ... they were FUCKIN KILLER!!!! lmao

Why the fuck are people throwing bottles at My Chemical Romance THEY DO NOT DESERVE THIS they are very truthful to their fans have strong believes if YOU DONT LIKE IT then dont watch im sure if it was one of your fav bands you would feel the same. There is no need for it i have seen them live and interviewed Frank Iero he is very nice as is the rest of them and im sure they will carry on and put it behind them but it should not happen. What if some who doesnt like you started throwing bottles at you in the street you wouldnt like it its the same thing. GROW UP GET A LIFE AND FUCK OFF

Posted by vicky | June 11, 2007 6:06 PM | Reply to this

My friend told me about what happened out download.
God... I feel so bad for them.
They really did not deserve the shit they were given, and I think My Chemical Romance stood up to what everyone expected.
I really admire Gerard and the rest of the band for the way that they carried on playing, and just joking... they put such hard work into their music and they save lives. And I really think that they are the best, for the music that they make, and the way they stand up to the haters. I love them, I really do.
And the bottling... I think everyone expected it. It's very disappointing... but it was expected :(

How can sumone like MCR Headline at download and then have you praise them for having that slot on main stage when legendary godfathers of rock/metal e.g. slayer/megadeath etc who truly DO deserve that time get shitty slots. ANYONE who was at download would have seen the crowds at the times when the bands were playing and that is deffinately sumthing to go by, and i can tell ya sumthin.....MCR didnt Have those crowds. How the hell can you say all of this if you really understand music! Its pathetic....it really is.

i agree completely. theyre not some screw-it band who dont care. theyre passionate about their fans, and people in general, and try really hard to help whoever they can. --- and they are AMAZINGLY TALENTED. anyone who says they aren't can just go screw themselves. they may not be in the way of that no one else in the world can play their songs, but they are in the wayt that no one even comes close to DELIVERING the performance, and the compassion about their music as them. EVERY NOTE, WORD, CHORD, RHYTHYM, AND BEAT IS WORTH THE WORLD, BECAUSE IT COMES FROM AMAZING PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE WORLD, AND THATS WHAT THE WORLD, AND THE PEOPLE LIVING ON IT [[EVEN THE BOTTLERS]] NEED!

Let's clear some things up. I went STRAIGHT from Velvet Revolver to Korn and already couldn't get in the tent. The people who were booing and throwing bottles were those who couldn't get close enough to hear Korn so were forced into watching a band they detest. Blame the organisers for putting the headliners on Friday on the wrong stages. You deluded emos were all short changed anyway- MCR were long gone off stage way before they were scheduled to. Someone who was forced to watch them said they were actually on stage for less time than Velvet Revolver. The crowds spoke for themselves- Velvet Revolver, Motley Crue, Korn, Megadeth, Slayer, Machine Fucking Head, Manson, Lamb of God, Mastodon- that's who people were there to see. MCR was a HUGE mistake on the part of the organisers.

As another comment- how dull, boring and downright disappointing were Evanesence?

im ssooo shocked that that happened at download, i wasn't there but when ugly phil told me happened I was so shocked.

Hopefully this situation doesnt make mcr stay away from london or download or anyother festival.

Although i do believe that mcr shouldnt be with the other bands that there were playing before or after. They shouldnt of been on the main stage even thoe over the past years they have been a great achievement to music:D

the organisers should of know that there would be conflict between the other bands playing fans.

About 2% of MCR's crowd were there for MCR. The rest turned up either to bottle them or to watch them get bottled.

Fact is, Korn should have been on thew main stage and MCR should've been in the dimebag tent. Honest, Korn had a bigger crowd. It was packed to brimming, whereas MCR was virtually empty.

They played pretty awfully, and I don't think anything they do is from the heart, because they are a sell.out.little.emo.band.

Hows about no, Marilyn Manson was easily the best performer of the download festival and in no way deserved bottles being hurled his way, if Marilyn Manson wishes to comment on MCR he is in the perfect position to having been going longer and doing what they only attempt to do but better---------------"MUTILATION IS THE MOST SINCERE FORM OF FLATTERY!"

Emo's get out of download, its a metal fest and always will, the reason why people bottle bands its cos they are showing their discust at rubbish being on when good bands should be. this happened at reading fest too when slayer should of been higher up the bill than mcr.

The fact is than MCR always sing the same song. There is very little variation in their music and the little that there is has been taken wholy from other artists [I refer to the Brian May-esqe solo on 'Welcome to the Black Parade'] They could have been a decent band, they sure as hell had the oportunity, but they blew it. All they rely on is the fact that millions of 13-14 year old girld [and guys] fancy the crap outta Gerard Way.

Personally, I wouln't mind if they just disapeared and left Download festival free for what it was made for, Metal in all it's glory!

i think the choices for downloaded were spot on, linkin park wer feukin amazin and maiden just speaks for itslef, they were fukin amazin but mcr! i dont even kno why they were there, they were so crap and im not in the least surprised they got bottled, emos dont belong at download - the same happend to aiden too.

i was at download and thought MCR was amazin. they didnt deserve to be bottled neither did aiden. people waisted an hour of their lives throwing bottles at mcr and will never be able to get that hour back. if they didnt want to see them why did they stay around and watch them???? and as for download being for metal bands over half the band that were at download arent metal. and if bands like korn were that good why didnt they get on the main stage. its obviouse the organisers thought that MCR ARE a better band than those that weron b 4 them

to whoever said mcr are "the best band who will ever show their faces at download"? erm.. hi.. did you miss the fact that maiden were headlining this year. yer.. cause mcr are soooo much better than IRON MAIDEN. of course.. you are so right. how stupid of me..

what an idiot...

thats not to say i dont like mcr. i just think that its a bit extreme to say they are the best band that will ever play download... especially as they had maiden this year.

1) Korn weren't on the main stage because they asked to be in the tent. The organisers shouldn't have allowed it to happen, but it did.
2) I'm sorry, but the vast majority of the line-up WAS metal- Megadeth, Dragonforce, Shadows Fall, Turisas, Slayer, Korn, Machine Head, Manson, Iron Maiden, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Stone Sour, Velvet Revolver, Motley Crue, Hellyeah, Chimaira... I know Download isn't officially a metal festival, but with a line-up like that, that's what it turned into, and MCR simply didn't fit in and were always going to be unpopular. Bad move by the organisers.
3) Being a 'better' band has nothing to do with where they were on the bill. They were headlining purely because they have sold a lot of records to scenester kids who go to their gigs with mummy and daddy, but aren't old enough to go to a festival. MCR could probably sell out Donnington on their own to their fans, but the rest of the line-up meant that the vast majority of people there were not going to be MCR fans, which is why the crowd watching was so pitifully small for a headline act. I don't understand how the organisers failed to realise that, but they did. The fact that more people watched Megadeth at half 3 than the headliners says it all.
4) The people who bottled them are a bit silly. But the fact is, more people than was possible wanted to see Korn. This meant that some people simply couldn't get close enough and had the choice of watching MCR or going back to their tents. I can therefore understand the frustration some people must have felt when they couldn't get to see Korn because the tent was over-crowded, and then saw MCR playing to a few kids who could easily have fitted into the Dimebag Darrel Stage. Not MCR's fault, but the organisers'. An idiot could have foreseen what would happen.
5) Don't nick half-baked, not-even-that-funny-or-interesting-at-the-time quotes off Aiden and pretend they are your own.

Is one hell of a prick. I cannot stand him. I wont break yoru heart shaped glasses. Hes gone mainstream and hes a prick anyway. I dont kno why hes back in music becuase i didnt notice he went.

people who bottle are the most selfish people in the world - with a couple of exceptions (clearly) . if their reason for bottling is ''cause their fucking emo bands'' then i say to the emos "go bottle the bands all the shits who bottle stages like and see how they like it".

admitedly mcr at download was a pretty stupid idea specially with manson there and all.

but thats the beauty of a festival - there are many bands - go find something u like!

i strongly agree emo fags keep coming and try to take over good festivals
its fucking annoyin
was gunna go to download this year glad i didnt cause of what i heard mcr were terrible. also there songs are boring, they actually play like puffs, no decent effort in solos. when the likes of iron maiden play thier hearts out on solos

My Chemical Romance weren't the best band to headline a metal festival, but these selfish people need to understand that without commercial bands like MCR, ticket sales would drop and the acts that might not get as much publicity would be forced to opt out, even willingly if they don't like the idea of being bottled.

Ye i didnt think that was fair by throwing bottles at My Chemical Romance. I think they rocked when i saw them in concert =]

MCR DID NOT GET BOTTLED AT DOWNLOAD OKAY!!!! i WAS there!

there were no bottles thrown AT THEM. ok i saw 1 anti-mcr flag, but that was 1. and the amount of fans that were there... there were thousands of people there. they were a headlining band!

if people didnt want to see mcr, they either went to see korn or suicidal tendencies, not waste their time bottling them like they did at reading.

mcr rock =]

personally i dont think MCR should have played at all, however i understand that they are popular, but i dont think they were worthy of headlining.

and yeah they got bottled pretty badly, which i thought was absolutely hilarious, i was watching KoRn, as i cant stand MCR, the tent was so over packed, and the crowd strectched for ages, couldnt even see the food shops near to the tent as there was so much people. when korn finished, there was obviously a big crowd, and everyone was booin mcr, but they had already ran away from the stage by the time we got to the main stage, guessin they feared trouble.

someone had a t-shirt that had MCR = Miserable Cunting Rejects, and should that person be reading this, you are a legend, i fucking loved that shirt :)

Hmmmmm, seems Download didn't sell out this year, and MCR had possibly the smallest crowd for headliners ever. So can someone please explain how having them on the bill helped to sell more tickets? Megadeth, Korn and Velvet Revolver were easily the bands who attracted the most people on the Friday. There was simply NO NEED to have MCR there, other than to cause controversy and the possibility of trouble- Download has sold out in the past without resorting to having commercial rubbish on the bill, so why this year?

siresly did u just say dont make me more depressed then i already am bloody hell lighten up abit mcr are a load of shit no way deserved to be any wer near headlining

the MCR crowd was not "virtually empty"! and there was more that 2% of the crowd that was there for MCR.
there were loads of my chem fans there (mainly at the front getting tw*tted by bottles).
i think they did really well on that mainstage considering how many arseholes were there bottling them!

I'd like to know who the "bottlers" were there for as they clearly couldn't be bothered to see Korn either.
The Download bookings reflect what Kerrang print ever week but certain people are blinkered enough to only want metal. The likes of Motley Crue were a joke first time around but can get away with it because one of them married Pamela Anderson and they use women.
MCR's problem is that, although they are rock fans, their music is considered main stream. They also have a reputation for not being sexist or homophobic and being nice people which obviously doesn't help.
They are playing big festivals all over the world and this has only happened at Download which says it all. It's not really MCR's problem that some didn't want them there and they are big enough to not have to worry about it again.
