www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=34220VirtualFestivals.com is reporting that ANTHRAX and MC5 will play their only U.K. festival dates of 2005 at this year's Download festival — and loads more bands have just been added. ANTHRAX — featuring the classic "Among the Living" era lineup of Joey Belladonna (vocals), Scott Ian (guitar), Frankie Bello (bass), Charlie Benante (drums) and Dan Spitz (guitar) — join BLACK SABBATH on Saturday's Ozzfest stage. BOWLING FOR SOUP and ALTER BRIDGE will play lower down the bill. Detroit rockers MC5 (now known as DKT/MC5) play their first ever Download. Joining them will be some very special guests, including Lemmy from MOTÖRHEAD. The legendary band's new guitarist is none other than Gilby Clarke, meaning that, along with VELVET REVOLVER, four former GUNS N' ROSES members will be performing at this year's Download. DKT/MC5 will play on the Sunday Snickers Stage, alongside Italian rockers LACUNA COIL and AS I LAY DYING. Over on the Main Stage on the Sunday, NIGHTWISH and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE have both been confirmed to warm up for SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLAYER and SLIPKNOT — who are already confirmed. MESHUGGAH, UNEARTH, EVERY TIME I DIE, and CALIBAN have also just been added to the Download bill. It all takes place at Donington Park, Leicestershire, June 10-12.

Hi to all the forumers!
This is my first post, I'm really exicted about seeing Gilby at download its gonna be great! Does anyone know whos playing with MC5? It says something about Lemmy being a special guest? Does that mean him and some other dudes are gonna jam with MC5? Cos that would be awesome! I keep thinking how great it would be if Gilby was to jam with VR or Slash, seeing as they're all old mates! See you later, Excited Josh!

hey joshi, welcome to the forum. but i have to start things of with some bad news for you, cause gilby won't be playing with the mc5 at the download festival. i think he will be replaced by billy duffy, who originally had to be the 'special guest' guitarist for mc5. gilby was his replacement. it's sad but true...

MC5 had also said that Gilby wasn't gonna be there so don't feel bad about it.
I hope he comes back to the UK soon.

just to say, i was there, front row. Was amazing! I wentto watch mc5 and caught a glimpse of gilby before behind the stage, befor mc5 came on, and was like 'holy f**k' cause i really didnt expect him to be there. Unbelievable performance. The highlight was lemmy (from motorhead) came out and sang a chuck berry song with mc5 and gilby clarke. So good!
