yuck
i mean honestly these are some of the worst bands i can think of

Definitely not the most solid line up.

Now I know y'all be live this shit right here! L I M P bizkit is right heeere

Dream Theater seems really out of place.

Why did have to get back together with so many shitty bands. Except Dream Theater which is average

There are only three bands there that don't make me want to melt my ears closed with a hot plate to make me incapable of ever hearing it again.

I don't care. I'm going to see Faith No More. Anything else, no matter how terrible it may be, will be a bonus!

Fuck Yeah can't wait till this years.

Not the full line-up (obviously) so don't get pissed about it yet until the 60 or so more people are announced, no need to

I didn't expect to see FNM headlining Download but hey, anything can happen in music

The only things that are worth seeing from here are Korn and Faith no More. Rest are really bad.

my feelings about downlaod this year are so mixed up!

chewytapeworm owns most of us because he posted this article? mhmm....

What an awful and strangely put together lineup...Whitesnake and Def Leppard...seriously

I wonder how long this FNM reunion will last for.

billy talent is divine.

hahahaha.

i think even after the other bands are posted it'll still suck. i effin hate FNM.

DT owns everything on this list.

how could you hate fnm? unless of course your a strict metal-head.

i'd go to see fnm marilyn manson and prodigy. the rest of the bands could all cancel ...and get some better bands. i'd love to see a swans reunion tour :P

FNM easily best band

Pretty bad lineup, better than last years though, Lostprophets anyone?

Or 2007, LP and MCR? Download really has gone downhill.

Faith No More and Dream Theater are two amazing bands but everyone else on that line up is total rubbish, except Slipknot who are average I suppose

I think it speaks volumes that before FNM were announced, I had no interest, but I bought a weekend ticket seconds after they were announced...

Either FNM are really good, or the rest is really godawful save for a couple.
