No worries.
I believe this is another Devil City Design job - looking at the stars and the scrolls and the random bugs I'd put my money on it being one of theirs anyway. I do like their stuff, it's top!

Regarding this clip on YouTube:

Is that Alternative Ulster he was starting to play?

There may have been a bit of it, but he went into 29x at around the 29 second mark.

Sounds like Download was great fun
But I really hope they will do a longer set on the norwegian festival later this summer!!

the gig sounds amazing, me jealous much???

and like someone said further up, it just adds to the legend that is the band...yes it's about the music but it's also about the drama and the whiff of danger around the band....that's what makes them sooooo damn cool

there is quite a debate going on here about it. some of thwe quotes from ginger are pretty funny but i must admit i would rather have tunes over banter anytime.

Fantastic comments on the forum there. Now I hope they do go back next year and get a spot on the main stage.

Actually , maybe this overrunning / getting cut off way before th audience was ready for it is is a good move that will highlight how much over-booking is killing festivals .

I mean motorhead only got an hour ! too much taking the money for buy-ons rather than quality bookings and decent set times = doom .

i'd like to see some of the UK festivals allow bands to play full size sets, even if it means the show runs well into the early hours.

at bonnaroo in the US, bands like my morning jacket have been known to play for over 3 hours.

and i read that kanye west's set this year did not start until 4.25am!! (it was over 90 minutes late in starting and he was booed onto the stage because of this, so there is a downside to it).

but still...

That was a bit like SLF making us wait best part of a fucking hour between the support band and them in Newcastle in March

I was soooo mighty close to walking out cos I was that pissed off with standing around so long, especially when the stage was ready in 20 minutes after the support band finished!!!
