Lacuna Coil were fantastic, but then I would expect no less.
The warm-up act, Domin, were also fantastic, with a good, heavy sound that reminded me a bit of Marilyn Manson. I would go to see them and hope they turn up at Download.
Unfortunately, the support band, "Dirty Little Rabbiits", sandwiched between these, were truly appalling! Like Kate Bush on some weird cocktail of drugs, possibly with her vocal cords damaged in an accident. "Cacophony" would be generous. Dunno what they were doing at such an event. Still, it gave me a chance to go and get a teeshirt (but long queues, others must have had the same idea).
But Lacuna Coil were so good that the Silly Little Bunnies could not ruin the evening - just be ready wit the ear plus.
