arthurhenry Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 They will announce a UK tour after this, just like in 1988. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudewheresmybass Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'll be there - reliving donington '88! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzodog Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I was there too in 88 getting crushed, but loving every minute. Seem to recall Megadeth were pretty amazing too that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynottfan Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 me three there in 88' happy days. here to 2013! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hmm. I was there in '88. I also saw them in 2011 at the O2. There's a huge back catalogue but I would be surprised if they play much of it. They've moved on quite a bit. Think I have too now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulconnolly Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 My pan lids are there. I was tempted by Sabbath but really the line up couldn't persuade me to fork out the fat end of £200. Have a great time all who are going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_the_bass Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I will be there tomorrow. Taxi booked to take me down there in the morning and pick me up tomorrow night. If it's even half as good as Twickenham '08 then it is going to be incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I have to get to East midlands Airport for my flight to edinburgh at 11.50am ....I hope all of you will be there early! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonshelley01 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Taking my 14 year old son tomorrow, his second ever gig (RHCP last year was his first). I promised I'd take him as soon as they announced, so QotSA, Motorhead and Alice in Chains are a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) I was there in '88 and still spare a thought for the families of those two lads that didn't live to see the end of the day's acts. RIP and stay safe to those that are gong this year. I live about 30mins drive from Donington but I'll be heading North tomorrow and stay out of the way.

jmchich Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I really want to go to this one year, between Maiden, Motorhead and Sabbath it's pretty much a dream team. But I go to Rebellion every year, and until I start earning, any other festivals are out. I expect full reviews from all attending though!

xgsjx Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I went in '92. IIRC, it was about £25 a ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myke Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I saw them last year (I think) was seated because I was with my dad so unfortunately didn't see too much of Steve Harris, would love to be there tomorrow though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I went one year, can't remember which one. All I know is that Iron Maiden were on, [i]possibly[/i] Skid Row (who I wasn't particularly interested in) and we drove round the campsite surfing on the roof of a hired transit van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent the entire Iron Maiden set sat way off at the back of the site around a campfire with a bunch of strangers, and I'm sure that a nearby hotel had the dubious pleasure of our patronage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Crikey! Getting old! I was also there in '88. I was also at the German equivalent in cologne a week later. I remember testament billed as a lasti min replacement for megadeath . They were the best apart from maiden;) Edited June 15, 2013 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markbunney Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 What a great gig. Possibly the best of the 12 times ive seen them. Roll on the o2 in August for number 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I thought Maiden were good but not great. I think their ballroom days are over - sadly like many of the older rock & metal bands now. However I found Alice in Chains to be great and a great noise for 4 blokes to produce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
