Never been to the full Download Festival before (far to big for me) but my sons band payed their twice on the smaller stages and I went with them once as roadie, which was great, especially when I was stopped back stage by one of the security guards who asked if I was in Def Leppard and could he have a photo - I was dying to say yes on both counts lol. We much preferred Bloodstock Open Air and went for about 6 years in a row and only stopped when they increased the capacity, which made moving around the site so much more difficult and they increased the price too. Not a massive Skindred fan and saw them a few times at Hammerfest and supporting KISS at Newcastle last June, when they were a real good opener. Never seen Metallica live before, always seem to miss them but you got real up close - nice one! Shame about your phone dying but at least it did not rain, as my friends who go every year always complain about, cheers Alan
We kept our eyes out for you folx, but there were sooo many people it was impossible! We lost each other a few times! Was a blast though, despite the horrible camping arrangements, the fact that people filled west carpark, so disabled campers like me had to struggle to get to our campsites. Next year I'm going to book a hotel!
That was badass!!! We have festivals like that here in the States. Unfortunately, I can't afford to go to any of them 😢. But I can watch your video, and I feel like I'm there 😊.

Aw thanks for sharing. Sometimes best laid plans still let us down. Glad you had an awesome time. I’m not sure I could do something that big far to many people!

Oh wow that's sooo cool!!! Backstage is fun isn't it!!!! We have never done Bloodstock, we'd like to but it's more childcare to sort!! ❤️🖤
Looks like a wonderful time. So cool that you got to be in the Snake Pot for Metallica!! 🤘🖤❤️
I know, we were sooooo lucky, it was a once in a lifetime experience!!! 🖤❤️

Yeah the site management was a bit rubbish this time, hopefully next year as it will be 'back to normal' it will be better. Great fun though!! 🖤❤️

Thank you so much for sharing the video with us. It looked like everyone was having a great time.
It was great fun, although VERY sweaty!! 🖤❤️
@@HeavyMetalMomma yeah that is the only downside of the subculture being hot in the sun while wearing black all the time
Glad you had a great time. I dont think I could do a festival that big, it looks crazy!

Can't believe it, we had 2 power packs too, but one was almost out of juice & mine was dead!!! Next year I'll check it's ACTUALLY working 😫🖤❤️
@@HeavyMetalMomma this is so the sort of thing I would do 😓 you had a great time & you got to record some of it. ☺️
How amazing to be in the snakepit.
It really was, I am so so grateful, still can't quite believe it!!! 🖤❤️
Last year you played SKindred and it’s now a band I like!
