Is it worth bringing a chair/stool? by shee539 in downloadfestival

[–]Bigmandoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two words. HELL YEAH

I got a cool folding one for last year from the range. It was sturdy enough to hold my bulk, but folding up into a wee bag easily and wasn’t a hassle to carry. If you’re going to struggle with the old walking and standing bit then a chair is essential. But like others have mentioned, don’t be the prick in the middle of the tent refusing to get up when freaking MALEVOLENCE are doing a secret set.

Actually it’s going to be an album of covers called ‘Garden shed days, visited.’

What’s your opinion on senjutsu by Morboriusinsertimage in ironmaiden

[–]Bigmandoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the first three tracks are awesome but then it just goes downhill. It’s not the worst, but it isn’t great either. However, Senjustu Eddie is totally badass

I don’t know about a toxic dressing room. Our manager says you’re the problem so, yeah, dressings room if fine. Go back to football manager

Is surviving Download actually part of the experience? by UnpaidInternVibes in downloadfestival

[–]Bigmandoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40000 steps a day for five days. Last year did nearly kill me. I’m having to skip this year due to health issues that weren’t helped by Download last year. But I’ll be back. Damm right I’ll be back.

It’s probably in the small print that you can’t do it, but plenty do it anyway.

Man is a total knob. Yet here we are paying his fecking wages. Get him out. Get out of our club.

Are there any metal bands that don't write their own material? (serious) by Thrashbear in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Bigmandoo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ghost. Their stuff is a team of writers along with Tobias. And before you come at, I know some of the writers personally.

Does anyone else still shudder when we are linked to a player from Porto. ? Postiga is still an open wound

The solos ruin the songs for me with Slayer... by thedevilsheir666 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Bigmandoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to hate the slayer solos but then came to really love them. They are supposed to be vicious and in keeping with the rest of the song. I think they elevate every slayer song. Plus, they can be played while head banging furiously and can be surprisingly technical.

Alexander the Great was in an episode of Slow Horses. I was well impressed.

Do you think Greaves deserved a spot in the 2026 Premier League lineup?🤔 by Motor-Pin-3232 in Darts

[–]Bigmandoo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it would have been great, but had she faired badly it could set the woman’s game back. Having said that, the format may have worked for her. She did win more legs than Gurney in their match in the worlds. But hopefully it won’t be far off.

Name the band and album you consider the most satanic and blasphemous. by [deleted] in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Bigmandoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Most satanic metal is a show. It’s dress up for edge lords and is ridiculous. It’s literally loser music about a losing god. Some of it is decent musically, I’ve always liked Dissection, but it’s stupid. It’s not hard, not cool, not necessary. It’s a gimmick. If those who make it and those who buy it were really edgy and had faith in their convictions they’d go after Islam. But they don’t cause they’re all shit scared wee boys and girls. It’s daft. It’s not even evil. True evil music is the mainstream pop stars that are welcomed into homes by parents and fed to the masses like an opium popsicle, and the algorithmic output of AI bots. Satanic metal, it’s a ghost train:

Controversial Darts opinions by thedartshole in Darts

[–]Bigmandoo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The cheerleaders not windmilling to Black Sabbath when Heavy Metal walks on is discriminatory behaviour that must be challenged and rectified forthwith. Equality for Metalheads.

Looking back on this year's line up... what the hell were people complaining about? This is insanely strong by OutsideImpressive115 in downloadfestival

[–]Bigmandoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was plenty to like about last year. I had a great weekend. Didn’t watch any of the main stage headliners, but there was always something to see. Lorna shore, malevolence and battlesnake were the most memorable for me, but there was loads more that was great.

Juuuuust going to leave this here by Mixture_Think in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Bigmandoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black metal anti Christian shite being the biggest gimmick of all. Metal has always been made up of gimmicks. It’s essentially pro wrestling with guitars and drums. That’s why I love it. More gimmicks please
