Nah , tentunya itu adalah cara yang bagus untuk mendapatkan perhatian.
Dikelilingi dalam musik bintang pop paling indah , musisi metal Shawn Crahan berhasil dgn kasar semua orang di pakaian couture mereka di Grammy Awards di Los Angeles , California , pada hari Sabtu .
Sementara band heavy metal tidak mungkin untuk bisa melihat di di acara glamor , pendiri Slipknot begitu menakutkan dalam topeng badut gila , orang-orang benar-benar berhenti di jejak mereka .
Meskipun band ini mungkin memiliki kultus berikut setelah 20 tahun bersama-sama , pemain utama dan penggemar jelas tidak terkena topeng mengenakan kejenakaan kelompok .
Banyak yang tidak tahu apa yang membuat drummer - yang memiliki nama panggung adalah Clown # 6 - saat ia mengintai jalan di atas karpet merah .
Shawn - yang bergabung dengan putri Gabrielle dan istri Chantel - tidak menghapus topeng , yang menampilkan buruk dilukis pada badut makeup dan jumbai rambut oranye di kedua sisi kepala botak , untuk seluruh karpet .
Musisi 44 tahun itu tidak terganggu oleh lampu panas karpet saat ia - bersama dengan sisa dari band metal - memainkan konser di kostum penuh .

Isu tentang AC/DC

Malcolm Young Sedang Sakit, AC/DC Tidak Bubar

April 17, 2014
Band hard rock legendaris kebanggaan Australia, AC/DC menolak mentah-mentah isu pembubaran diri mereka yang semakin menjadi-jadi.
Vokalis Brian Johnson bahkan mengungkapkan adanya rencana merekam materi untuk album baru bandnya, kendati tetap membenarkan bahwa gitaris Malcolm Young memutuskan untuk rehat sejenak dari band akibat masalah kesehatan.
“Saya tak akan mengatakan apapun tentang masa depan,” ujarnya kepada Daily Telegraph. “Salah satu dari kami sedang lemah karena sakit, namun saya tak ingin membicarakannya terlalu banyak. Ia merupakan lelaki yang hebat. Kami telah bersahabat selama 35 tahun dan saya sangat peduli dengannya.”
“Kami dipastikan akan berkumpul kembali di Vancouver, Mei nanti. Kami akan merekam beberapa bagian gitar, dan melihat apakah ada diantara kami yang memiliki lagu atau ide, lalu kami akan merekamnya,” lanjutnya.
Sembari menjernihkan desas desus yang beredar, AC/DC mengonfirmasikan kebenaran berita sakitnya Young lewat akun Facebook resmi mereka pada Rabu (16/4) kemarin, dengan menulis “Usai 40 tahun hidupnya didedikasikan pada AC/DC, gitaris serta personil pendiri band, Malcolm Young memutuskan untuk mundur sementara dari band karena mengalami sakit.”
“Malcolm hendak berterima kasih kepada para penggemar setia di seluruh dunia atas dukungan dan cinta yang tanpa henti mereka berikan. Sementara itu AC/DC memohon agar privasi dari Malcolm dan keluarganya untuk dihargai. Band akan tetap lanjut berkarya,” imbuh rilis pers singkat tersebut.
Isu kandasnya perjalanan karir AC/DC mulai berhembus kencang sejak Senin (14/4) lalu usai stasiun radio 6PR memberitakannya, sekaligus menginformasikan lewat akun Twitter bahwa Young sedang mengalami sakit keras.
Pembawa acara berita Peter Ford lantas memperkeruh kabar burung itu lewat akun Twitter pribadinya, dengan menulis, “Terdapat sejumlah detail yang menyedihkan tentang (kabar) itu yang tak dapat saya beritakan, namun pihak band / manajemen mungkin memilih untuk mengungkapnya.”
Sementara lewat blog pribadinya, seorang jurnalis musik bernama Darryl Mason mengunggah sebuah pernyataan spekulasi yang menyebutkan bahwa Young telah menderita penyakit stroke sebulan lalu, sehingga tak mampu lagi bermain semahir sebelumnya.

Metallica Musisi Ketiga Dengan Penjualan Tertinggi di Amerika
Metallica


Kapanlagi.com - Meski penjualan album melesu dan dikeluhkan oleh musisi, namun Metallica tetap meraup penghasilan terbanyak. Bahkan mereka berada pada peringkat ketiga dalam penjualan tertinggi di Amerika. Nampaknya kejayaan album Black masih bertaji hingga saat ini. Album ini mencatat 16 juta penjualan di Amerika saja menurut catatan Soundscan. Mereka memantau terus perkembangan album dari tiap musisi.
Untuk ukuran pengusung musik cadas, peringkat ketiganya pastinya adalah hal luar biasa. Pasalnya tak ada band metal lainnya yang bisa menyamai penjualan James Hetfield Dkk.

Sementara itu peringkat pertama diisi oleh Garth Brook dengan penjualan sebanyak 69 juta dan The Beatles dengan penjualan sebanyak 65 juta copy. Sementara itu Metallica kabarnya tengah menggarap album terbarunya yang rencananya akan dirilis pada tahun depan.

Tentang HAMMERSONIC 2014 \m/


Kreator dan Bullet For My Valentine di Hammersonic 2014

Festival metal terbesar yang dimiliki Indonesia, Hammersonic, akan segera kembali tahun ini. Di tahun keempatnya, Hammersonic 2014 siap menampilkan punggawa musik metal internasional, dan dua nama yang sudah digadang-gadang adalah Kreator dan Bullet For My Valentine.
Grup musik trash metal asal Jerman, Kreator, memastikan diri tampil sebagai bintang utama di Hammersonic 2014 untuk pertama kali.
Namun sebenarnya, Mille Petrozza Cs itu sudah pernah lebih dulu menggebrak Jakarta di tahun 2005 silam.

Selain Kreator, nama Bullet For My Valentine pun dipastikan menyambangi festival metal terbesar Indonesia itu untuk pertama kalinya. Sebelumnya, grup pelantun hits 'Hearts Burst Into Fire' itu juga sudah lebih dulu menggelar konser tunggalnya di Jakarta pada 2009.

Dari pantuan detikHOT di situs resmi Hammersonic, tak hanya dua nama di atas, metalcore asal Amerika, Hatebreed, dan grup death metal asal Italia, Fleshgod Apocalypse juga melengkapi daftar musisi asing yang akan tampil. Kabarnya, nanti masih akan ada penambahan musisi asing yang diusahakan pihak penyelenggara.

Untuk jagoan dalam negeri baru ada empat nama. Jasad dan Siksakubur dipastikan menggempur Jakarta bersama Koil dan Funeral Inception.

Selain itu, terdapat dua perbedaan mencolok dari Hammersonic 2014, pertama adalah lokasi festival yang dipindahkan lebih ke tengah kota. Lapangan D Senayan dipilih sebagai tempat berpesta para metalheads seluruh Indonesia. Dan yang kedua, penyelenggaraan Hammersonic 2014 dipersingkat menjadi hanya satu hari, dari yang biasanya dua hari.

Hammersonic 2014 akan digelar pada tanggal 27 April 2014. Mulai hari ini, Senin (20/1/2014) sampai dengan 28 Maret mendatang, tiket pre-sale dijual di beberapa outlet resmi seharga Rp 200,000 (belum termasuk pajak). Baru setelahnya di bulan April, harga normal tiket berlaku Rp 300,000.

Majalah musik metal luar negeri pilih Jokowi jadi presiden Indonesia 

Kesukaan Joko Widodo akan musik metal menjadi sorotan media musik di luar negeri. Menurut mereka ini merupakan hal unik terlebih seorang Gubernur dan paham dan menyukai akan musik metal.

Terlebih rumor Gubernur Jakarta yang akrab dipanggil Jokowi ini yang katanya dicalonkan untuk menjadi Presiden Indonesia tahun 2014. Hal ini ditanggapi oleh sebuah media musik metal bernama Metal Insider.
Dalam tulisannya dikatakan jika Jokowi orang yang tepat untuk menjadi Presiden. Keputusan ini berdasarkan musik yang disukai oleh Jokowi. Menurutnya, orang yang menyukai musik metal yang kebanyakan lagunya berisikan tentang masalah sosial dan ketidakadilan akan memiliki jiwa sosial.

R.I.P Paul Dedrick Gray #2 "Bassist Slipknot"

KEMATIAN PAUL GRAY "Bassist Slipknot"


 
 
 
Pemain bass band Nu metal Slipknot, Paul Gray telah meninggal pada usia 38. Paul ditemukan tewas di kamar hotelnya di Des Moines, Iowa,

Berita ini menggegerkan kalangan komunitas metal di Des Moines, karena disanalah seluruh anggota band Slipknot dibesarkan.

Menurut Tmz.com, polisi tidak menemukan bukti terlarang di lokasi, namun akan ada penyelidikan lebih lanjut terkait kematiannya.

Berita kematian meninggalnya Paul Gray ini, juga dibenarkan sang manager di perusahaan rekaman band Slipknot, Roadrunner Records. Sayangnya, sang manager enggan bercerita lebih lanjut.

Paul Gray yang merupakan anggota asli Slipknot ketika mereka pertama kali dibentuk pada 1995, sedang menantikan anak pertamanya dengan istrinya, Brenna.

Anggota band lainnya memberikan penghormatan kepada sang bassis mereka, dengan mengubah halaman depan Slipknot1.com dengan gambar Gray, meskipun mereka belum memberikan komentar. Sementara otopsi dijadwalkan akan digelar besok.

Band yang dikenal karena menggunakan topeng ketika manggung serta lirik lagu mereka yang eksplisit dan agresif menggambarkan kesedihan, mulai dikenal pada 1999.

Band Slipknot berhasil menjual album mereka lebih dari dua juta kopi. Slipknot juga terkenal akan perilaku mereka yang ekstrem di setiap pertunjukan, seperti muntah di atas panggung.

Mereka meraih penghargaan Grammy pada 2006 untuk band metal terbaik dengan lagu Before I forget. Kemudian berdasarkan Pollstar, sebuah industri pertunjukkan musik, Slipknot berada di posisi 18 dalam daftar 20 Concert Tour terbesar 1999.

Gray dikenal penggemar sebagai personil # 2 atau berjulukan The Pig, berdasarkan topeng berwajah babi yang ia pakai di setiap konser.

Paul Gray adalah salah satu anggota pendiri Slipknot. Band yang terbentuk pada tahun 1995 tersebut mengalami banyak pergantian personil dari tahun ke tahun namun Gray selalu ada, mendahului penyanyi Corey Taylor yang bergabung pada 1996.

Paul Dedrick Gray yang terlahir pada tanggal 8 April, 1972 di Des Moines, Iowa, Amerika Serikat ini pernah bergabung di beberapa band seperti Anal Blast, Vexx, Body Pit, Inveigh Catharsi dan salah satu anggota original slipknot bersama Shawn Crahan dan Anders Colsefini.

Ia juga menjadi backing vocal dalam beberapa lagu slipknot seperti Spit It Out, Get This, People = Shit, Disasterpiece, Three Nil, Pulse of the Maggots, dan Before I Forget.

Sebelum menjadi Slipknot semula mereka menggunakana nama The Pale Ones kemudian Pyg System dan Meld. Hingga akhirnya menggunakan nama Slipknot.

Dalam perjalanannya mereka beberapa kali mengalami perubahan personel, dan formasi terakhir terdiri atas Sid Wilson, Nathan 'Joey' Jordison, Paul Gray, Chris Fehn, James Root, Craig '133' Jones, Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, Mick Thomson dan Corey Taylor.

Album-album Slipknot di antaranya Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat (1996), Roadrunner Records Demo (1998), Slipknot (1999), Iowa (2001), Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses, 2004) dan 4th Studio Album (2008). Lewat album-album itu mereka berhasil meraih Grammy Award Nominations untuk Best Metal Performance dan Best Hard Rock Performance.
 

Vokalis Slipknot Berkisah Tentang Kematian Paul Gray

"Dia seperti saus rahasia dasar dari Slipknot."
Vokalis Slipknot, Corey Taylor baru-baru ini kembali membahas kematian Paul Gray dan bandnya yang perlahan-lahan mengatasi rasa takut masuk studio tanpa mendiang bassis tersebut.
Selama obrolan pada Artie Lange Show, Taylor menjelaskan kehilang Gray passing sebagai kejadian terburuk yang pernah menimpa Slipknot.
"Kami telah menunda pembicaraan tentang album baru, namun dalam beberapa bulan terakhir, ini mulai terasa seperti waktunya telah tiba," kata Taylor. "Karena Paul adalah seorang penulis besar. Dia seperti saus rahasia dasar dari Slipknot."
Ketika ditanya tentang mengganti bassis, Taylor berkomentar, "Kami membawa seorang pria yang berada di band sebelum saya. Dia adalah seorang pemain gitar, teman baik, Donnie Steele, dan dia telah membantu kami melalui semua itu. Dia bermain di belakang panggung, dia tidak naik ke atas panggung, ia tidak memiliki topeng atau sesuatu seperti itu, tapi ia bagian dari keluarga Slipknot."
"Tahun depan kita akan mulai melemparkan beberapa musik baru dan melihat apa yang terjadi," simpulnya.

 

Slipknot Takut Manggung Setelah Kematian Paul Gray


http://images.detik.com/content/2011/03/24/228/slipknot2t-getty.jpg 
Jakarta - Meninggalnya sang bassis, Paul Gray pada 25 Mei 2010 lalu menjadi pukulan berat bagi Slipknot. Mereka pun masih takut untuk menggelar konser.

Vokalis Slipknot, Corey Taylor mengaku setelah kehilangan Paul dirinya sangat takut untuk kembali ke panggung. Bayang-bayang teman dekatnya tersebut masih terpatri di benaknya.

"Ini akan menjadi pertunjukan pertama kami, kami akan benar-benar diuji. Ini sangat keras, dia masih terbayang di benak saya," ungkapnya seperti dilansir aceshowbiz, Kamis (24/3/2011).

Rencananya band metal tersebut akan memulai perjalanan tour Eropa mereka di Sonisphere musim panas ini. Sejak ditinggalkan Paul, Slipknot memang memutuskan untuk cuti selama beberapa bulan.

"Saya takut mati. Dan saya tak bisa membayangkan apa yang akan terjadi nanti, pasti akan penuh dengan emosi," lanjutnya.

Empat tahun Kematian Paul Gray "Slipknot" Terungkap Sudah

Dua tahun Kematian Paul Gray
WartaNews-California, Dua tahun setelah kematian tragis bassist Slipknot, "Paul Gray", pengembangan kasus yang terkait dengan kematiannya telah memasuki babak baru.

Seorang dokter dari Des Moines, Iowa, didakwa  kemarin (5/9) untuk pembunuhan tidak disengaja.

Dokter Daniel Baldi ketahuan sering memberikan obat penghilang rasa sakit berlebihan kepada pasien-pasiennya, dengan salah satu dari delapan korban itu bernama Paul Gray.

Menurut Des Moines Register, dokumen pendakwaan mengklaim Baldi "tidak sengaja menyebabkan kematian Paul Gray dengan tindakan yang cenderung menyebabkan kematian atau cedera serius, secara terus menulis memberi narkotika dosis tinggi resep untuk pasien yang dikenal pecandu dari 2005/12/27 sampai kematiannya".

Dalam pengertian dasar, Baldi dituduh mempunyai peran dalam kematian Paul Gray. Ini adalah perkembangan yang menakjubkan dalam kasus ini, karena kematian Paul awalnya diduga karena overdosis morfin dan fentanyl. Otopsi juga menunjukkan bahwa Gray memiliki penyakit jantung yang signifikan.

Adapun pengacara Baldi mengklaim bahwa tuduhan terhadap kliennya belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya di negara bagian Iowa. Dokter tersebut akan dikurung hingga 16 tahun penjara jika terbukti bersalah atas delapan tuduhan pembunuhan yang tidak disengaja.
Liputan6,Des Moines: Paul Gray,pemain bass anggota band Slipknot, ditemukan meninggal pada hari Senin (24/05) di kamar hotelnya, ruang suite TownePlace, Des Moines, Iowa, Amerika Serikat. Polisi setempat menyatakan akan menggelar otopsi Selasa (25/5), untuk memastikan kematian Paul.

Perihal meninggalnya bassis band beraliran metal ini, juga dibenarkan oleh manager di perusahaan rekaman band Slipknot, Roadrunner. Sayangnya sang manager enggan bercerita lebih lanjut. Pada Tahun 2003, Gray dituntut oleh jaksa penuntut umum karena menabrak sebuah mobil lain di Des Moines ketika dia sedang memakai obat terlarang, untungnya tidak ada yang terluka karena kejadian itu. Selain itu Gray juga dituntut atas kepemilikan ganja, mariyuana, dan jarum suntik.

Band yang dikenal karena topeng yang mereka gunakan ketika manggung,lirik lagu mereka yang eksplisit dan agresif menggambarkan kesedihan, mulai dikenal pada tahun 1999.Band Slipknot yang beraliran metal ini berhasil menjual album mereka lebih dari 2 juta kopi. Slipknot juga terkenal akan perilaku mereka yang ekstrim di setiap pertunjukan langsung, seperti muntah di atas panggung. Band ini meraih penghargaan Grammy pada tahun 2006 untuk band metal terbaik dengan lagu "Before I forget", kemudian berdasarkan Pollstar, sebuah industri pertunjukkan musik Slipknot berada di posisi 18 dalam daftar 20 "Concert Tour" terbesar sdi tahun 1999

Beberapa festival Metal Di Dunia \m/


1. DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL

History

The Download Festival was conceived as a follow up to the Monsters of Rock festivals which had been held at the Donington Park circuit between 1980 and 1996. The first Download Festival was created by Stuart Galbraith and Andy Copping in 2003 in the same location. Rather than run as a single day event Download was initially a two-day event, expanding to three days in 2005.
The name Download was chosen for the festival for two reasons. Downloading was a dirty word in the music industry at the time, due to file sharing, and rock is seen as a rebellious genre of music. Also Download was to be a Monsters of Rock for the 21st century and the internet would provide connectivity with its audience.
The 2003 festival tickets had a code on them, which would allow festival goers to download tracks from bands which had played. Although this idea has been dropped in subsequent years, the festival organizers have nurtured an online community through the Download Festival Forums. Initially a sounding board for the fans (and critics) of the festival, the boards have become an integral part of the festival organization with regular contributions from Festival Director John Probyn and Promoter Andy Copping. The forums also provide face to face feedback through the Fan Forum meetings (started in 2006) and organise the Boardie BBQ (2006 on) and the Boardie Takeover night (2009), football tournaments and a pub quiz for the R.I.P. campers who arrive on a Wednesday night.
When Download began, it took place on the Donington Park circuit infield as had Monsters of Rock. However in 2008 developments for Formula One meant that the infield was no longer suitable as a festival site. 2008 saw a move to the "Sunday Markets" site to the west of the circuit. Although adequate, numbers were limited and the location of the campsite meant that getting from tents to the arena was quite a hike. 2009 saw the festival move to a much more suitable location to the south of the circuit. Security for the festival has constantly been undertaken by professional crowd management specialists Showsec, although the campsite area has had various contractors throughout.
Since 2009 there has been on-site radio broadcasting from Rock Radio on 87.7FM. This RSL broadcast has aired music from festival bands, interviews and news to the festival site and the surrounding area, with the signal reaching as far as Nottingham.

The Download Dog

The Download Dog is the official mascot of the Download Festival,and appears on a wide range of material related to the festival, such as tickets, stage banners and merchandise.
Each year, the dog is changed to a different colour:
  • 2005: Pink
  • 2006: Red
  • 2007: Green
  • 2008: Pink/Yellow
  • 2009: Blue/Green
  • 2010: Pink/White
  • 2011: Pink/Black
  • 2012: Red
  • 2013/2014: Flames

Download 2003

The first Download Festival was held on 31 May – 1 June 2003. The headliners were originally Iron Maiden and Limp Bizkit, although Limp Bizkit pulled out and were replaced by Audioslave. Metallica attempted to step in as headliners, but were unable to due to already being headliners at that year's Reading and Leeds Festivals. Instead, they played an unannounced "secret slot" in the afternoon on the second stage, with no sound check and after playing an exclusive club show in London the night before. Chevelle were scheduled to play the Scuzz stage on Sunday but pulled out at the last minute. Instruction, playing their second set of the festival, stepped in as the replacements.

Download 2004

The 2004 edition of the festival was held on 5–6 June. Another stage was added to the festival, bringing the total to three. Seventy-two bands played over the two days. The 2004 event was also notable for several last minute hitches. First, Soil got lost on the way to Donington and missed their main stage appearance on Saturday (they later joined Drowning Pool on stage to perform Drowning Pool's "Bodies" and their own song "Halo"). Static-X missed their slot due to a bus breakdown. On Sunday, Slayer arrived on time, but their equipment did not, leading to a slot change from the middle of the afternoon on the main stage to a later slot (and longer set) on the second stage. Slayer were replaced on the main stage by Damageplan, who were scheduled to play the second stage. Their setlist ended with a rendition of Damageplan founders Vinnie Paul and Dimebag Darrell's most recognisable song from Pantera, "Walk."
The biggest news came from the headliners Metallica, when Lars Ulrich was rushed to hospital. Taking to the stage an hour and a half late, James Hetfield explained the situation with Ulrich and the show then began with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo playing on "Battery" and "The Four Horsemen." Slipknot's Joey Jordison played the rest of the set apart from Fade to Black which was played by Metallica's drum technician, Flemming Larsen.

Download 2005


A view of the Main stage at Download Festival 2005
Download 2005 was held again at Donington Park, on 10–12 June 2005. This festival was different from previous years as the Saturday was officially dubbed Ozzfest 2005, as well as an "Indie day" on the first day of the festival.
Billy Idol performed on the Snickers stage on the Friday night, his first UK gig after a lengthy hiatus, performing songs such as White Wedding, Rebel Yell and a cover version of Van Halen's anthem, Jump.
Feeder's frontman Grant Nicholas was so relieved the band won the crowd over (there were concerns that they would be received badly by the traditional attendee to the festival), he decided to smash his green Fender Jazzmaster guitar after "Descend" was performed. He later said that he regretted it, but also said he kept the neck and the tremeloes, and might use what was left to make a new guitar. In a July 2010 interview with Kerrang!, it was suggested to Nicholas that destroyed the guitar as he was frustrated at trying to win the crowd over, as their music was different from the Download demographic, but claimed himself in reply to this that he "Wanted to do the most rock and roll thing after eventually winning over the crowd". In the same interview, Nicholas said that they were "Guineapigs" at the festival as part of the organisers experiment to make it an alternative festival, but said it was a moment of the band's career he is still proud of.
Lemmy also took to the stage, with former MC5 members, and Gilby Clarke, to perform Back in the USA.
Initially, Bert McCracken of The Used and Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance were asked to perform their cover of Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie, but the former friends refused the offer to perform the cover as they had recently fallen out.[citation needed]

Download 2006


Alice in Chains at Download Festival 2006
The 2006 Download Festival was held at Donington Park, England on 9–11 June. The three days comprising the headlining acts (Tool, Metallica and Guns N' Roses) have sales of approximately 200–250 million albums between them, more than the entire line up of 2006's V Festival.
2006 was the first time the festival was mirrored in the Republic of Ireland, as Download Festival Ireland. 2006 was also by far the warmest year download has ever had.[citation needed]
During the festival Korn vocalist Jonathan Davis was rushed to hospital.[15] Similar to 2004's Metallica set, Munky, Fieldy and David Silveria arrived and explained to the fans why Davis could not make it and played with guest vocalists Corey Taylor from Slipknot, Dez Fafara from DevilDriver, Jesse Hasek from 10 Years, Benji Webbe from Skindred, M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold, and Matt Heafy from Trivium. Lyrics from the song "Blind" were displayed on the screen for Matt Heafy. Metallica played the album Master of Puppets in its entirety in honour of its twentieth anniversary. Guns N' Roses also performed material from the long forthcoming Chinese Democracy album.
Main Stage The main stage was situated in the centre of the arena with crowd control moving around it, and was the largest of all three stages, the safety barriers used at this stage were in a T shape so as to avoid crowd crush in the middle. The stage was open-air and named in honour of the 25th anniversary of Kerrang! magazine. Down played an unannounced set on Saturday (With the laminates showing ??? in their time slot); opening up the Main Stage.
Snickers Stage The Snickers Stage was situated in a tent, behind the main stage and was the second largest stage at the festival. Access to the stage was via a one-way system which attempted to spread people around the site, rather than all attempting to push through a rather small space.
Soilwork were scheduled to play on Sunday, but were replaced by DevilDriver (playing their second set of the festival).
Gibson/Myspace Stage The Myspace stage was the smallest of the three and under a smaller tent. It was positioned across from the front of the main stage.

Controversy

During the Sunday headline set of Guns N' Roses, bottles were thrown at the band. This caused problems after the band's lead singer, Axl Rose, slipped on the wet surface and a bottle hit bassist Tommy Stinson. Stinson threw his bass, hitting one of the cameramen, and left the stage. He returned after the song and apologised, but warned the crowd that if this activity continued, he would leave for good. There were some disturbances but they eventually died down, and later in the set Rose commented "I'm actually having quite a good time now! I couldn't have said that an hour ago!
On the final night, fires were started by some festival goers and police were called, arresting twelve people. At around 4 am, the fire brigade arrived to put out a large fire at the gold campsite. A number of people had taken the railings that had been used to separate the campsite area from the path and used them to barricade the road to prevent the fire engines from reaching the main fire. At this point a number of police assembled in riot gear stormed the campsite. The festival director, John Probyn, posted a message on the official website stating that "About 150 people spoiled the end of what had been a great weekend for over 75,000 of us."

Download 2007


Stone Sour playing the main stage at Download Festival 2007
The 2007 Download Festival took place on 8–10 June 2007.
The three bands that headlined the 2007 festival were My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park and Iron Maiden.
Through February, March and the beginning of April, more bands were announced in small groups of five or six, and on 17 April this lineup was arranged into days and stages on the official website. A further announcement of fifteen bands on 24 April added to this lineup, and announced the names of the second and third stages – The Dimebag Darrell Stage, and The Tuborg Stage.
Korn's Jonathan Davis stated that the reason for the band returning this year was because of his absence due to illness last year. He stated on the official Download Festival website, "I am so looking forward to coming to the Download Festival this year. I was heartbroken to pull out last time. So this time I am very happy to be coming back and we promise to rock the place! I will definitely make-up for missing the last one. You can expect an amazing Korn show!"
Download 2007 was Dimmu Borgir's first ever festival appearance in England. Hardcore Superstar pulled out of their slot on the Tuborg stage on the Sunday because their tour bus broke down in Germany. Download 2007 featured an Indian band Parikrama. They became the first band from India to make it to Donington.
Download 2007 also featured the first band to officially perform on the Thursday of the festival. Scumface played on the Tuborg Stage during the boardie barbecue.
Lamb of God's DVD Walk With Me in Hell features the band's full performance at the festival.

Download 2008

The 2008 Download festival took place on 13–15 June. The 2008 festival had a significantly different layout to that of the previous years in that the festival arena area was situated in land to the west of the race track instead of the traditional venue of the race track infield area. Notable amongst numerous changes is that the second stage became larger and moved from a marquee to an open-air format, located on a tarmac car park. Chris Cornell was originally scheduled to play the festival, but he cancelled his European tour so he could focus on a new album. Twin Method, and Finger Eleven were announced to play but were removed from the official websites lineup. On the Friday of the festival, Kid Rock was meant to appear between Seether and Disturbed on the Main Stage but pulled out at the last minute, much to the pleasure of the festival crowd. At first it was announced that this was due to illness. Rock later claimed he left the festival grounds after becoming dissatisfied with the amenities. But, the following year, Download's booker theorized that it had been due to a broken heart. Rock's no-show allowed the two bands following him on the bill, Motorhead and Judas Priest, to have longer sets.
The 2008 Boardie BBQ took place on the Gibson stage on Thursday 12 June and included a performance by Forever Never.

Download 2009

The 2009 Download Festival took place on 12–14 June at Donington Park with an estimated attendance of 120,000 over 3 days. The arena had once again changed location, this time to an open field area south of the race track which was more suitable and less of a walk from the camping areas than last year.
The headliners were Faith No More (Friday), Slipknot (Saturday) and Def Leppard (Sunday). A notable feature was that Sunday had a strong classic rock theme on the main stage which attracted many Monsters of Rock festival goers. Other notable performers included Limp Bizkit, who were playing in the UK with their original line-up for the first time since 2001, Trivium returning for their third appearance and first head lining spot, Anvil, the band featured in the 2008 film Anvil! The Story of Anvil, and Steel Panther, who were making their first appearance in the UK on the Tuborg Stage. A fourth stage, the "Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage", also made an appearance at this year's festival. This stage was also present at other UK festivals, such as T in the Park in Balado, Scotland, and the Underage Festival in Victoria Park, London.
The 2009 Boardie BBQ took place in the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage on Thursday 11 June. This year the band was Attica Rage.
The Thursday night of the 2009 festival also saw the Boardie Takeover night. Four bands, three DJ's: Cyst, Dave KC and Gabber Fox, two singers, a stand-up and a burlesque dancer – all members of the Festival Forums – performed to a full house in the End Tent. These bands were Scumface (returning after a successful appearance at the Boardie BBQ in 2007), Orestea, Echovirus and headliners, Silent Descent.[36]
On Monday 18 May the festival confirmed on its official website that Camping tickets had completely sold out.
On 19 May, it was revealed in an interview with Andy Copping on Music Channel Scuzz that there would be secret sets. It was later revealed the bands would be Enter Shikari and Thunder.
On Wednesday 3 June, one week before the campsite opened, Download released a further 2,500 camping tickets. These limited tickets sold out within 24 hours of being released.
The winners of the "Red Bull Bedroom Jam Competition" was Gravesend-based band After the Ordeal. This set was a 'virtual gig', with the band playing live from their bedroom and this footage being streamed live onto the Main Stage at Download Festival, between Pendulum and Marilyn Manson.
The winners of the "Tuborg Battle of the bands" was Leeds punk band Acid Drop and they opened the Tuborg stage on Saturday 13 June.
The Ghost of a Thousand were scheduled to headline the Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage on Saturday but the band cancelled. The Blackout stepped in to play their slot, thus giving them two slots on the festival's bill.
Slipknot's performance is available in their new DVD (sic)nesses. It was released on 28 September 2010 and served as a tribute to their late bassist Paul Gray. It was also Slipknot's last performance in the UK before his death.

Download 2010

The Download Festival was confirmed to return to Donington on the weekend 11–13 June 2010, the campsites opening on 9 June. On 25 January, nine bands were announced at the official Download website, including AC/DC as one of the main stage headliners. On 15 February Rage Against the Machine and Aerosmith were confirmed as the other two main stage headliners, as well as 5 more bands confirmed a few hours later.
22 bands were added on 22 March. This announcement confirmed that Bullet for My Valentine, 30 Seconds to Mars and Stone Sour would be the headliners of the Ronnie James Dio Stage. Stage splits were also confirmed.
Saxon performed their 'Wheels of Steel' album in its entirety to commemorate its 30th anniversary. Download 2010 was also the 30th anniversary of rock festivals at Donington Park, since the first one – which Saxon performed at – in 1980.
It was announced on 16 May that the second stage would be renamed "The Ronnie James Dio Stage" in tribute to the singer who died of stomach cancer on the same day. It was also announced that the main stage would be called The Maurice Jones Stage after the co-founder of Monsters of Rock who also died the previous year.
28 May saw 15 more bands added, as well as the official announcement of the Jägermeister-sponsored fifth stage, which would host acoustic acts including bands already performing usual sets at the festival. Sum 41, who were initially announced, then cancelled their appearance due to drummer Steve Jocz being involved in an accident. On 30 May 2010 it was announced that Wolfmother had to cancel their set due to illness and they were replaced by Killswitch Engage.
Aside from Ronnie James Dio, the year was also sadly memorable for other deaths. Y&T performed the Pepsi Max Stage to a jam-packed audience, marking the band's long-anticipated return to Donington since performing at Monsters of Rock, Castle Donington in 1984. Sadly, Download 2010 would be bassist Phil Kennemore's last show in the UK, as he passed away from lung cancer six months later. Killing For Company drummer Stuart Cable, previously of Stereophonics, died the week of the festival at which the band were scheduled to play.
Ratt were scheduled to play on Sunday, but cancelled due to illness of lead vocalist Stephen Pearcy. On 9 June, FM were announced as Ratt's replacement.
The Boardie Takeover ran for the second year in a row on Thursday 10 June. It featured the bands Silent Descent, Fallen Fate, Jacknife Holiday and Cyster Scalpel, as well as singers, DJs and a burlesque dancer.
AC/DC played their set on an exclusive stage positioned next to the Maurice Jones stage, allowing the band to bring their full stadium show to the festival. As announced on 28 May. This marked the first time a headlining band had brought their own stage to Donington. All of the other headlining bands on the other stages had finished their sets before AC/DC began their performance. The AC/DC stage was used only for the actual band, the runway at the front was taken down the next day and the stage remained empty and unused for the rest of the festival once their headlining set was over.

Just before Escape the Fate's set on the main stage at Download Festival 2011
The Download Festival was confirmed to return to Donington on the 10, 11, and 12 June 2011. Linkin Park and System of a Down were the two main stage headliners officially announced, with Saturday subheadliners Avenged Sevenfold and Sunday second stage headliner Rob Zombie announced a short while later.
On 22 February, Def Leppard were announced as Friday's main stage headliner,[47] with Twisted Sister, Down, Duff McKagan's Loaded and Trash Talk also added to the line-up.
15 March saw The Darkness unveiled as the widely-speculated Friday subheadliner, with Funeral for a Friend, Plain White T's, Framing Hanley and Hyro Da Hero also added. In April, the Red Bull Bedroom Jam stage and Jägermeister Acoustic stage's acts were revealed.
Wayne Static was scheduled to open up the main stage on the Sunday, but he pulled out a month prior. Masters of Reality were scheduled to perform but pulled out on 30 March and Karma to Burn were to play the second stage on Sunday but were replaced by Hyro Da Hero, thus giving him three sets over the course of the festival; the most in Download history.
Steward 0836 was manning the main stage at the festival, when he caught the attention of fans waiting for Sunday's bands to appear. Some friendly interaction led to cheers from the audience, then one of the giant stage-screens showed him making the "devil horns" gesture, which was applauded by tens of thousands of rock fans. The official Download Festival website even featured him as an artist on their site.

Cancellations

Five Finger Death Punch were scheduled to perform on Sunday on the Main Stage between DevilDriver and Kyuss Lives! but on 5 April they pulled out due to "logistic difficulties". Anthrax, who were initially set to play on the Zippo Encore Stage, were brought up to the main stage (later dubbed the Jim Marshall stage) due to Five Finger Death Punch's cancellation.
T. Mills was scheduled to perform on Saturday on the Red Bull stage but pulled out in May and also Porter Robinson, who was also set to play on the same stage on the Friday pulled out due to the recording of a new album. He was replaced by Voodoo Six.
Due to the wet and windy weather, Download did not open its Arena gates on Friday 8 June until 14:00 whilst laying down straw in the Arena and removing potentially dangerous signs and banners which could prove hazardous in high winds, meaning some of the bands were shifted around. Cancer Bats were moved from second opening band on the Jim Marshall Stage to a headline slot on The Red Bull Bedroom Jam Stage, with Rise to Remain and Six Hour Sundown missing out on a slot entirely. Fear Factory were also given an additional 10 minutes of performance time due Cancer Bats being relocated to a different stage and Rise to Remain being cancelled. Europe were scheduled to play the Zippo Encore stage on Friday before Little Angels, but it was announced at the last minute that they will not be able to perform due to traffic and transportation issues.

Download 2014

The twelfth annual festival will be held 13–15 June 2014. Earlybird tickets went on sale 21 June 2013. Between 4–6 November, all three main stage headliners were confirmed, along with all the sub-headliners. Linkin Park will be performing their Hybrid Theory album in its entirety.
Reactions to Avenged Sevenfold being announced as headliners were very mixed. After a Facebook user suggested that Dying Fetus headline the festival instead, a social media trend titled #WhyNotDyingFetus was started as a joke. However, this actually led to the band being booked to play, although not in a headline slot, and they were officially confirmed on 6 November.
To commemorate its twenty year anniversary, The Offspring will perform their third studio album, Smash, in its entirety. Also, their appearance marks the first time in Download history that a previous main stage headliner will return to play a lower slot.
Joe Bonamassa was originally booked to play on the Zippo Encore Stage Saturday before Status Quo but he was moved to the Sunday Main Stage due to a double booking. Trivium were initially confirmed to be headlining the Red Bull Studios Live stage on the Sunday, but following a generally negative response from fans due to the size and limited capacity of the tent, the band was moved to Zippo Encore Stage headliner.
In Flames were scheduled to appear on the Zippo Encore stage on the Sunday between The Pretty Reckless and Trivium, but they were quietly removed from the line-up poster on February 26. It was later revealed that they had cancelled all of their Summer shows to finish recording their new album and that The Pretty Reckless would be moved up into In Flames place. On March 22nd the latest announcement was leaked by Classic Rock Magazine. Shortly after the leak, Defeater, who were scheduled to play on the Pepsi Max Stage Sunday, were confirmed to have pulled out due to their lead singer, Derek Archambault, suffering an injury and having to undergo hip replacement surgery. Danger Danger were originally confirmed, but pulled out on 7 April, claiming that bookings had been erroneously made for various dates.

2. HELL & HEAVEN

Hell & Heaven Metal Fest (H&H, el Hell, or Festival Hell and Heaven) is an open air heavy metal music festival. It takes place annually during Fall or Spring, near Mexico City in Texcoco, located in the State of Mexico, in the central part of the country. With over 30,000 festival visitors,[1] it attracts metal music fans of all subgenres including thrash metal, black metal, death metal, power metal, gothic metal, folk metal, and even metalcore, nu metal, hard rock from all over the world. The festival is mostly attended by a Mexican audience from all around the country, but attracts a large number of visitors from Central and South America, as well as fans from Europe and other parts of the world.
The festival was first held in 2010 as an attempt to create a large scale Metal event for the Latin American community, known for its loyal following to Metal resembling that of European Metal fans. By 2013 word of the event had expanded beyond the region's limits, and has come to include over 60 bands from Europe, Latin America, North America and Australasia. H&H has been held in March and lasts two days, during which the festival-goers camp on large camping grounds surrounding the actual festival area, full amenities, security, first aid, and handicapped access are provided, as well as a VIP lounge tent. Within the limits of the festival, a fair is set up to provide fans with amusement and entertainment rides between performances or to take a break from the ongoing mosh pit. Other visitor activities include: Skatepark, Wrestling matches, cock fights, open restaurants, among others.
Currently the organizers are conceptualizing a regional "festival opening act", as is the case with Wacken's Firefighters at the famous German extreme music festival.
The event continues to attract bigger names in Metal with bands from further distances traveling to perform here. Events of this magnitude have demonstrated to provide economic benefits to the surrounding communities and regional tourism, unfortunately the local government failed to recognize such aspects for the 2014 edition, and voided the permits to carry on, thus canceling the event. The 2014 edition was expected to set a ticket sales record due to its expanding popularity.

2010

Hell & Heaven Metal Fest 2010, the first incarnation of the festival, was held on Sunday, 17 October.
