It certainly looks like it, even though it's not out until Wednesday.
I'm thinking someone who works for Kerrang! took a sneaky-peak and took that photo especially for us XD

Hm, has anyone found any good quality videos from this?
I'm only finding Ev's performance. (They were awesome, the new members own. x] One more thing, that solo in Whisper was amazing.)

okay how the hell i missed that i have no idea! I was on the front barrier on the left hand of the stage and missed the kiss! omg i am so ashamed of myself! I want to cry lol

i must have been rocking out too hard, but omg i am a total idiot for missing that! Did anyone see though where frank was flaying his guitar into the camera and then he moved it and pretended to unsiz his pants, that was hot! I thought franks performance was totally breathtaking!

I went to the end of Aiden in the Rock up and play, wow so close up. went back later for Bowling for Soup and got Lead singers plec woohoo.

OK MCR sounded great BUT.........................THE STAGE SET UP WAS F*CKING CR*P. Come on, have you seen what Linkin Park did to the stage AND Iron Maiden. That was not the set up of a headliner at all, very annoyed. Also they only used 2/3's of the stage which wasn't central but all the way on the left. I was on the right as you look at the stage in front of the big swingy cams tripod stand and saw naff all. We saw a mic to our left while setting up and thought cool that's Gerard's can just see nicely, but it turned out to be Ray's! They never once came right over to the right hand side, They stopped at a line of speakers about 2/3s along the stage!

On the right side there were hardly any bottles, well if there was, again they must of been behind us and I was about 8ft back at the start. There were two lads infront of us that were anti-MCR but they just stood there with an odd flip of the finger for about 3/4 of the set, nothing more.

Soz guys but you know what is expected of Donington and you didnt live up to that. I think, unless you had a REALLY good reason for that lame stage set up you have bummed out of ever headlining there again!

Ok I found this vid on Youtube that sums up what I was saying completely. If you look you will see a dark line that are speakers on the stage going front to back. NONE of MCR came past that point!

I just thought I'd stick up the review of MCR's set from Download in this week's Kerrang, so here it is:

"A note to the bottle throwers: a far more effective insult for MCR(KKKK) would be to just ignore them. But you imagine such reasoning too sophisticated for the dedicated pockets of punters lobbing missiles at Gerard Way's crew. Instead it's just more fuel on the fire for an act who have long built a career on triumph over adversity., and one who are headed for yet still bigger things. Ditching the pyro-fueled extravaganza of their last UK tour in favour of a straight-ahead greatest hits blitzkrieg, with 'Helena', 'Teenagers', 'I'm Not Okay' and a victorious 'Welcome To The Black Parade' all blasts of technicolour fury, their headline set delivers a triumphant close to the first night."

Gerard said in an interview at Download there'd be no pyro as they couldn't get a safety licence in time to set it all up.

If anyone cared to pay attention, Manson used MCRs confetti guns during the beautiful people.

I'll write up a full festival highs and lows a bit later on. Well worth a read.
