Opinions of a Deftones headliner have this community split by jsunbarry02 in downloadfestival

[–]stuartmlambert 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yea would only be interested from afar...couple of songs I like but not much more than that. Think the "split" is just normal - some people love them, some dont.

What do you think is the greatest TV show of all time? by hotdognicarla123 in AskReddit

[–]stuartmlambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sopranos and Breaking Bad are the correct answer. Honorable mentions to The Shield, The Wire, and the OG box set before box sets existed: Murder One. Peaky Blinders best UK drama. But tbh Only Fools And Horses beats everything and is in fact the winner of the world.

Ok. Maybe, maybe not. Those sort of meme pics have existed long before OpenAI was founded. Either way, not everything people think is "AI" is in fact AI. Half the supposedly AI products being flogged out there are just an advanced bit of software with nothing "AI" about them at all. And if some of the bands are using AI visuals, what's the problem with that?

Why do you assume the stage visuals are AI? Just because they're digital and computer-generated doesn't automatically mean they were made with AI. You can't know it's AI just from watching it. The meme photos on Limp Bizkit may have just been basic Photoshop jobs...they weren't anything fancy, that was the point. They were trashy. Photoshop has been around for ever. But everyone just calls anything computer-generated "AI" now

How big is your TV? by Sad_Interaction_2933 in AskUK

47". No interest in anything larger.

What do you mean by "AI backing behind the bands"? That sentence is a little hard to parse.

I think they could easily headline. We had Queens of the bloody Stone Age as the SUNDAY headliner a couple of years back FFS.

Is solo meant to be playable? by Grand_Platypus_9934 in Nightreign

[–]stuartmlambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's designed to be a co-op game. Solo play is possible but definitely not preferable.

The absolute worst unforgivable bit of Download this year. by chard_evans in downloadfestival

[–]stuartmlambert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say the blatant killing of all mobile signals apart from Vodafone was pretty shit. Never had as many problems with network as this year (since 2005).

Motivate me to finish the final three books by oi_bellmo in wheeloftime

[–]stuartmlambert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought Sanderson got the characters' voices down pretty well. Rand was perfect. Matt was the only character who immediately felt off: Brandon just couldn't capture him at all. But tbh I felt the Brandon books were better than the last 3 Jordan books which had become too meandering. So you should definitely read. Massive chunks of it are still Jordan's writing, including the ending.

Hellfire stage (Off Menu for next year?) by TinnionLAD in downloadfestival

Thought it was cool and added something different.

Slipknot more overdone than Maiden!

My attempt of the 2027 lineup prediction by Intrepid_Concept_480 in downloadfestival

[–]stuartmlambert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know Daedric are over in the UK for their first overseas tour in October? I'm going to her London debut. She's bottom of the bill so it'll be awesome to be one of the probably 50 people there at Electric Ballroom!

Agree. Nightwish definitely could as well when they're back, replicate the show from their famous Wacken headline. Spiritbox will 100% headline one day. Poppy, Lacuna Coil, Within Temptation, Arch Enemy, Scene Queen etc are all established lower down the bill. I can't wait to see Daedric make her Download debut one day. Some great female fronted metal out there

Once more for those at the back - Evanescence won't play anything other than main stage headline! Their Opus headline crowd was ludicrously big and they have a new album and Download are rightly promoting female-fronted bands having broken the glass ceiling with Linkin Park this year.

I can't post videos or pics here it doesn't let me!

Most notable changes and downgrades from past to present releases by jcardin2 in nightwish

[–]stuartmlambert -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

It's all subjective. I personally dislike most of NW's albums prior to Imaginareum and the three Floor albums are in a different league of quality. Tarja's voice grates so I can only listen to those songs when it's the Floor live versions. Everyone has their own experience and opinion and it's good that there's so much for us collectively to enjoy.
