despite being my favorite band, a good example of selling out is Linkin Park for me with their last two records (R.I.P Chester)
The Hunting Party was a thrashier and much harder album then most of their past releases had been for about 6 years (In a sense you can call those three albums post Meteora as also 'selling out') and then they went and released a straight up top 40 geared album.
I'm bias and loved all of their work but even I can admit that that's selling out hard for the extra cash
It took approx 35 years for ACDC to licence one of their songs for use in advertising.
It took 12 months for Indie darling Vance Joy to do the same.
The term sell out seems pretty impossible to define.

Green Day are a Stiff Little Fingers tribute band Stanny - and not a very good one either.

That is a pretty spectacular line up.
Musicians absolutely hate these types of events so to get acts of that quality on the one bill is pretty impressive.
Bloody hell.. That is awesome!
Very impressive lineup..
Anthrax!!!!!!
Seriously, anyone with the opportunity to go to this event has to go - as you will probably never see a better lineup again in your life.
converge (y)
Can highly recommend Rise Against live
Disappointed that is the only show Ozzy will be doing. My son is desperate to see his final tour but cant go to Download.
Hopefully slayer and Anthrax do a side show or three. They have been playing together in the US.
"War on Women"?
Love that band already.
Enjoy.
Loving all the new albums from bands I like or discovered this year with more to come.
thoughts on renaming this to 'The Metal Thread'?
Nope because people like more then just metal
Nah. My favourite song of all time isn't a metal tune.
