i wasnt a down fan till i saw them here they were awesome every band was but these guys were amazing i think they were headline material they played so good
You would think at this years Download that Down should've performed at night with all the headliners. They already payed their dues for years and they should've at least got that chance.
@SychoToniX Rex is fucking awesome indeed, especially in PANTERA he had such awesome riffs under dimes solo's, that was really his signature shit. He fits perfectly in Down aswell, I just wish he'd quit drinking and get back to Down again... :/ However, the new bassist is great too saw him life, awesome guy!
btw all this talk of anselmo is great, but we are all forgetting REX, dude he kicked ass and was backing all of em chugging dime riffs, lol. REX is the man!
Down is more layed back. They have a sothern rock and blues feel to their music. Pantera was straight up, balls to the wall, hardcore/metal. Of course there's going to be a different stage presence.
First of all Pat from Damageplan... Just check all the cover bands trying to sound like Down or Pantera. Its cool, dont get me wrong, but you dont have to sound like him when you have YOUR OWN band. Know what I mean?
metallica are still incredible live, megadeth suck live and have nothin on metallica but down are by far the best band ive ever seen live and sayin 'they dont have star power' fuckin right they do! anselmo is the best frontman in metal today! and hes backed up by a supergroup of top class musicians from great bands, point is down are right now the best metal band in the world and my opinion and they're still hardcore
look, I saw down and superjoint back in 2002- Phil's voice now is NOTHING like it was then. Perhaps its was the back surgery, i don't know, but he's lost it. Down 3 was terribly disappointing too. I used to be an Anselmo junky, but at this point am thinking he should just produce or something...
@cronoriono your kidding right your forgetting the part where dime an vinnie were glam rockers going no where in the club scene until phil came along an oh what happened then? they got good.....an heavy.......an then dime an vinnie jumped on the camo/band shirt bandwagon. reality is phil made the band what it was. though i believe once shown the light by phil dime an vinnie truly became what they were meant to be. pure fuckin metalers. though vinnie always a bit more of a show pony.
Erm, I'm not sure. This is a great performance, and Down are a great band, but they don't have the star power of someone like... Megadeth or Iron Maiden or someone. Bands that have been playing for years and years and everyone knows their songs and they get the entire crowd going. Those are the performances that make festivals.
Thx soo much for uploading awesome Down's download fes 2009 videos!!
NOW they are for SURE man!!! i love down and pantera. i think its just the ind of phil man. hes the man!!!!!
briliant song!!!
Phil best frontman ever. His voice is so godlike.
i wasnt a down fan till i saw them here they were awesome every band was but these guys were amazing i think they were headline material they played so good
Down is the Mount Rushmore of southern metal.
No doubt about it!
the hole band is full of talent. but phil is like the king of southern metal lol in my views he is. this is the best southern rock band there is
Those amazing screams though - 1:44 and 1:58

Under this dark ass cloud,snake choke your petty woes.

Upload anyone??
d0Wn, FOREVER SUPERIOR THAN ALL!
@PeritusRedRevo He was almost destroyed by alcohol. He's still strong

@angel2hell
Will check it out...god help you if they dont ;-)
yes I'll upload some more later.
Guess you are right....
What I don't get is why on a Down video people only dwell on Phil. He isn't the only member and he is DEFINITELY not the only talent in the band.
congrats on the saints boys,im from philly but i can be a good sport

I prefer Phil sounding like Phil actually. Lot of guys tried to imitate...worth shit compared to the original.
@rafahellsulista WELL NOTED!!! I'd hate to follow up these guys.
Not anymore, definately.
like which ones
@SychoToniX
anyone i've ever talked to says he's aces
