Megadeth mainman Dave Mustaine has posted his thoughts about performing at the Download Festival at Donington Park.

"Droogies!

What a great day yesterday in England! After a trying stretch of making some shows in Germany, Belgium, Denmark, and Finland we limped into Download yesterday, tired and worn out.

Thank you for making our performance so enjoyable for us. When I saw everyone, especially those up front, I couldn't control the rush I felt.

It was also kewl backstage too, seeing Clint from the old Sevendust days, Josh from Buckcherry, and the great guitarist from Dragonforce, and the M.C.R. guys was just a great all around vibe.

I hope you enjoyed the webcast and I want to thank the organizers for Download for not only having us, but for making the webcast happen too.

At this rate, while this was one of the shortest set lengths I have played in the UK for sometime, I look forward to playing for you again in 2009

Dave Mustaine"

Megadeth performed on the first day of the festival under controversial headliners My Chemical Romance. Linkin Park and Iron Maiden also headlined the event with Slayer, Machine Head, Stone Sour and Suicidal Tendancies all performing aswell as many others.

download always has their lineups messed up, i think it goes by cd sales, becuase they rock/punk/metal on all three days
i agree with 4, the fact that they liked opening for MCR, WTF
