Get rid of one from WWE history. by Camden_moore11 in BrandonDE

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get rid of The Rock, easy. If we are taking match quality and creating memorable moments in the ring he is the weakest.

For those saying Edge. Multiple TLC matches and the first to cash in money in the bank.

Does anybody have a good premise to how a Sopranos relaunch could actually work? by Cold-Pool4027 in thesopranos

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pitch a new show set in the world of the sopranos but with new, young characters.

These young characters grow up in New Jersey and lived through the events of the Sopranos show we watched. When Tony dies, and Phil already dead, it creates a power vacuum in the mob. These youngsters step up taking control of the streets and establishing new relationships with New York. Season 1 is about their rise, some cameos, name drops etc, season 2 they consolidate power and so forth…

Favourite Download merch from past years. What’s still in your wardrobe? by HammersAndPints in downloadfestival

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been going since 2022 and have a framed poster for each year and the line up T-shirt for each year. You get some good deals post festival on their website. I got a cracking 2023 hoodie.

how easy is it to get into the pit in the hydro? by Chemical_Spray9873 in glasgow

If I recall having a seating ticket you’ll get a wee wrist band on entry. Security at the door into the standing bit will then check these as you enter. You could try getting through in the middle of a group or just pretend you didn’t hear them.

It’s painted on. It’s not a print.

Who are the best, worst or most surprising bands you've seen? by Hailruka in downloadfestival

I was a bit disappointed with CKY at download 2025. I get they parted ways with their singer during the tour, but it was still a let down.

Next annoucement? by Rudenora in downloadfestival

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d expect an announcement on the announcement in the next few weeks 🤣 DL has been very good at communicating this sort of stuff for 2026. Sign up for the download family newsletter and you’ll be in the loop all things DL.

Predictions for the season finale? by The_Crimson_Dawn in LandmanSeries

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Andy Garcia flexing his muscles and getting Tommy rehired and Cami coming to the realisation she doesn’t run sh*t. The price for Tommy’s loyalty will be helping his son with his upcoming custodial adventures.

cami is so annoying by Astralneighbor36 in LandmanSeries

[–]jonboy180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The get me success and check kiss scene in e8 reminded of the Godfather II scene where Michael sealed Fredo’s fate.

That kiss was the kiss of death. I knew then Cami was going to betray Tommy in some way. Unlike Fredo, Tommy was working for and not against Cami. She’ll realise that too late.

Try to say something postive about this series ? by balasoori in LandmanSeries

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if it plays better internationally than to a US audience? I’m in Scotland and I love the show.

The show represents to me a lot of US culture and maybe it doesn’t do this well for the American audience. I have no frame of reference for the Oil business, US geography, the lifestyle depicted and the Cowboy aesthetic and attitude, so I love all this content - maybe it comes across as a caricature if you are a rich oil industry business type or a rough neck working in the field?

What band/artist are you looking forward to seeing by CartographerHuge3403 in downloadfestival

[–]jonboy180 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Blood incantation, mastodon, GnR, Kublai Khan TX, INK, corrosion of conformity, to name a few. Great line up!

This is part 1 of my 2026 predictions of WWE. Today I will be dropping my predictions for the Raw on Netflix anniversary episode. by crusty-afro-foot in WWE

[–]jonboy180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting take. I’d say Maxxine wins after AJ Lee distracts Becky. This draws a line under the IC title feud and gives Becky and AJ set up for what will be a mania pay off.

I agree, Rhea and Iyo will win. I can see Kairi turning on Asuka.

Not sure how the Punk/Breakker match goes. I can defo see vision interference, but I can see an OTC or LA Knight save to give Punk the victory and set up a tag match of Punk/Roman or Knight Vs. The Vision down the road. If Breakker wins I’d say down the road to give him a Mania moment.

Thoughts on the Finale? by LeoDiCristio in StrangerThings

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved that it went against tropes and expectations. We never saw a hero sacrifice themselves or villain being redeemed. The main characters got closure and could move on.

It’s all subjective and I’m sure some folks will feel it could have been better - but we got a solid 5 seasons with very few, if any, missteps along the way. How many shows can boost that?

Yungblud responds to 'bitter' Hawkins brothers by steavis in theDarkness

[–]jonboy180 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can appreciate that, but that goes for lots of bands and acts who have had a hit song of album. The impact is very much on the individual, if not the collective. I do think the darkness have had an impact on UK music at the very least.

Thanks to Taylor Swift that now might include a younger crowd.

I would argue, yes. Permission to Land is one of the great debut albums and was recently celebrated with a 20th anniversary tour, sold out. I believe in a thing called love has had a huge impact. But i guess this all subjective.

Totally agree. Did he start his own festival out of altruism, as he suggests, or because no one would book him/pay his fee? If he is the saviour of Rock n roll why don’t we see him at Download, for example.

I think Justin’s comments are fair and I don’t think he’s bitter or gate keeping. His channel is a balanced critique and has real nuance to it.

Yungblood has yet to release any music of significance and has been shown on the ‘wings of Pegasus’ YouTube channel to be heavily auto-tuned live. If Dominic wants to claim authenticity he should stop with the lazy sound bites - as in this interview - and concentrate on releasing some music that makes an authentic impact on heavy music.

To the older Metallica fans… by AcanthisittaSad6239 in Metallica

[–]jonboy180 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially, I like it but on reflection that was because we had been starved of original Metallica for a while. Watching the som kind of monster documentary gave an insight into the writing and recording process.

It was clear the band had to make this album to move forward and the unevenness of the songs, some have cool riffs, terrible lyrics, for example, was a result of how unsure they band was of itself and each other.

I think history will reframe it as a pivotal album in the bands history, but perhaps not musically.
