How about a feature on Acid Drop. I was really impressed by how they managed to get the hungover crowd up and dancing first thing on Saturday morning.

We need to know more about these Battle of The Bands winners.

marilyn manson was the biggest let down of download i had been wanting to see for years and he was terrible he could barely speak i ended up listenin to 3 songs then goin off to collect tuborg cups cause it was a much more interesting idea

i actually thought that arena layout was the mutts nuts, main stage viewing area was huge and bootiful. part from bit of sound leakage between stages that was the best download ever.

I was hoping marilyn manson would make up for the last time I saw him at download but he was even worse this time round - considering he has such a loyal fan base he may of at least interacted with the crowd a little bit. he was one of my top three to see this year along with faith no more and def leppard, thank god they were so amazing and totally made u for such a poor performance from mr manson!

i didnt like the layout - they did well with finding all the space but the bit where you walk up to the exits b4 you turn to the 2nd stage was far too narror... took like half n hour to get out and the lack of shelter was a big let down aswell... people around were passing out because of the extreme heat. Not good.. at least put more red bull tipis up. Prefered inside the track but thats not gonna happen again so get what you get more or less.

but this year was by far the best in music

Such an amazing line up this year and every band that I saw managed to impress me all except one. Can you guess?
Manson was utter shite yet again. I thought his performance at 2007 was awful but his performance this year (If you can call it a performance) was awful! I will not be seeing Manson ever again. They say third time lucky but I don't want to risk it and waste good money to see him waffle on about whether he should wear a coat or not. SORT IT OUT MANSON!
Best bands had to be Motley Crue, Slipknot and Papa Roach.

Quality time this year, Suicide Silence ruled the roost best set of the weekend well maybe after Faith No More who were quite possible the best band I have seen at download, hoping for a tour...

Logan were f*n A! Seen them 4 times now and they've never disappointed. Kerrang's got it so wrong...

1K?!?!?!?!?!

Yet ANOTHER fuck up by Kerrang!

Posted by Hannah | June 18, 2009 9:21 PM | Reply to this

My first ever time at Download and it was immense!

Logan were awesome. Seen them 11 times now and they just keep getting better and better. Seeing how much it meant for them to be there made me love them even more! 1K is pish!

Was impressed with most of the other bands I seen over the weekend but particularly Shinedown, Staind, Lacuna Coil and Black Stone Cherry :o)

Had an excellent time as always, saw some amazing bands and had a blast.

Was Logan the band playing in the Red Bull tent about halfway through Sun? Think me and a couple of mates were there to see some of them, really bad, cheesey Creed soundalikes, and the singer was AWFUL, if that's the band I'm thinking of 1K was far too generous.

But all in all an amazing weekend, can't wait til next year!

Logan were on at 3.30 in the red bull tent, after Fei Commodo.

Kerrang reviewer Mischa Pearlman may not like them, but the review is supposed to take into consideration more than just personal taste.
Both the sound engineer and stage manager commented that they had been one of the best bands on the Red Bull Stage all weekend and that the crowd reaction also rated one of the most enthusiastic.
The tent was full and there were many left standing round the edges - drawn to the tent as they passed.
There can be no doubt that Logan were immense at what they do - good, solid hard rock.
So Mischa doesn't like the fact that they sound American! Well get over it mate!
There were members of both Buckcherry and Twin Atlantic watching and both commented on how powerful the performance was.
1k is ridiculous, but then again 2k for Shinedown and Sevendust is also a joke.
You don't have to like it Mischa, but it is your job to give an objective perspective.
Oh...and by the way, go and ask Dave Ling what he thinks of Logan....I think he might disagree with you

Shocking, I'm a huge fan, got right down the front, have seen him play 2 british festivals before so know what he capable of in a festival environment, but OMG.
He didn't talk to the crowd, he fucked up songs, he couldn't be arsed, Twiggy looked like he wanted to kill him towards the end ... and the set list wasn't exactly inspired.
Why play your (crappy) new material if you're not going to give it 100%?

I was let down, gobsmacked and left feeling sad for someone who id capable of such great entertainment....I think he is just in the touring game for the $$ atm?

On the other hand, koRn's set was kicking and the rest of the wkend was cool.

im so glad that they did ok, after reading the review (which i found hard to believe) i was shocked coz every time ive seen them theyve given 100% always.

I would have to agree with the majority when saying that giving logan 1k was dam harsh. The one thing that i think the editor forgot to mention is that logan don't even have a record label as such and yet they still play awesome gigs every time they play. Maybe Mischa pearlman re-evaluate the scoring. Also only giving Shinedown 2k thats just as bad. As other people have said even if you dont like certain bands you should still look at the crowd reaction and judge it on that not your own taste in music. If thats the case then you shouldn't be a journalist.

You have go to be joking me?
Logan cheesy? Were you wearing ear plugs of something they are AMAZING!
And Kenny awful, serioulsy there are so many people that would disagree with you and I an top of that list, he is the BEST guy I have ever hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
