Day 2 of the Download festival today, woke up to the most hilarious text from Tom which unfortunately can't be repeated! A question though why are farts guaranteed comedy?

Arrived at the site early and tried out the really slow upload speed to send files to the mag. Painfully watched the blue bar for a while then went and shot one of the first bands of the day, DevilDriver.

Spent the rest of the day at the second stage which had some great acts on it. Chris Cornell and the Prodigy stole the show along with Static-X. I don't think You Me At Six fared to well with the Download crowd. For a look behind the scenes they had the most ridiculous photo release form to sign. I sent a text to their management to say I wouldn't bother shooting the band if I had to sign it and was told not to worry about it. Too bad for the band that no other photographer had done the same as quite clearly by the lack of photographers most had chosen not to bother photographing the band! I've seen it before and I'm sure I'll see it again, rights grabbing release forms kill a band's chances of any extra press!!

Highlight of the day had to be right before the Prodigy hit the stage. Normally the camera men troll the crowd to put girls on the big screen for them to then be pressured by the crowd to "show us your tits" but on this occasion they could only find men who in true comedic fashion showed their "Tits!" For some reason they wouldn't put the man pictured above on the big screen but to add to the hilarity in this outfit he kept falling off shoulders into the lucky crowd!!

Finished the evening listening to Slipknot doing the last of today's pics and a quick snapshot of Chris Cornell for the review. Headed back to the hotel bar and after some shouty Danish people annoyed our crowd I called it a night...
