    I went to see the 'Pies play Sydney at the 'G for the quarter finals of this years title.
    Was great. Being a collingwood supporter, I was very happy. Would have loved to have seen them go and kick the crap out of the eagles as well. :)

    Its a great stadium. i went to see Australia play NZ in the Bledisloe cup as well. Was packed out. Fantastic venie. Want to go and watch some cricket there too.

    Hey you know Nightwatchman are playing an acoustic show here in a pub in melbourne the day after BDO?
    That's Tom Morello's acoustic show. They are also playing BDO, but I reckon the pub gig would have some atmosphere man.
    Anyone get tuesday off? I have to start work at ten. Its not half eight, but its not gonna help.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,099 ✭✭✭✭WhiteWashMan

    Tickets cheap as chips too. Though I havent picked up one yet. I am not sure if its such a good idea to have these ambitious plans for the day after seeing Rage. Tends to hurt too much to move after I go to a metal gig. Not that Im a mosher or anything, I just dont like standing up for that long.

    I would reckon they are. Morello is an inspired guitarist. But relax, they are playing big day out too, about 5ish i think in one of the smaller tents. A little rage salad before the main course. I been workin techie support here for close on 2 months. Found it hard to get any jobs at the start, but then I re-did my CV from a 2 page beauty to a 5 page beast and that seems to have done the trick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,898 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    I was lookin forward to seeing Morello solo but a few people I know have seen it and said the music is brilliant, he just can't sing.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    Yeah that may well be a fair point. But then lots of great bands have singers who cant sing worth a ****e... I guess it depends on how the overall effect sounds. Normally I would think acoustic material would require the chops to go with it, but I worship the guy. Reason I started playing guitar. Well, him, and Jimmy page.

    Its comin up, its comin up, its comin up..................its there!

    Ah yeah no doubting he's a legend and I'll be doing my best to go see him, once it doesn't clash with any other act I wanna see!

    Hey guys.
    How did ye get on with respective BDO's?
    I managed to catch the Nightwatchman, and man I thought that was one helluva show that guy put on. The big problem I had with the event was the amount of queueing we had to do to buy a drink! Queue for an armband, queue again to buy this book of 10 tickets, then queue again to get the drink with those stupid tickets!
    Because the queues were so long, loads of people ordered 4 beers at once, so there was a relatively high population of incredibly hammered aussies pretty early on in Lilyworld. I saw loads of girls with their knees in the air passed out on their back usin the world as their gynaecologist, or peeing where they shouldnt be, hidden by a wall of embarassed lookin blokes. I saw a group of blokes try to film themselves taking a running jump onto a huge inflatable wall and trying to bounce back in a seating position onto a plastic deck chair. I reckon at least 3 ribs were cracked there.
    Rage ruled! But the sound could have been a bit better. And the ****in view too. Im a big bloke, but them Aussies are a tall nation. Must be all that angeldust.

    I'll reply to you after 2AM :D JK

    Well my BDO isn't til this Sunday so I'll be interested to hear the highs and lows


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    TBH the worst part was the dusty heat, at least initially. It was just a certainty that I was gonna get burnt, but you know, I am in Australia, why the **** am I here if I can't handle a bit of dusty heat? So I did handle it. With Twoheys I think it was, and a cardboard Knight's helmet. (Bring a hat!!!) I didnt and I have a lobster forehead now, despite applying tonnes of that horrible sun cream ****e I hate. (Though if you forget the sunscreen on the day, you can buy a tube there quite easily.)
    They ran out of programs too early for us to get one by legitimate means. But the only important part of the program is the map (which you will need!) And the timetable. So just print one off beforehand and chuck it in your pocket. I cant stress that enough. We lost the first 3/4 of an hour because of wondering around getting the lay of the land.
    Now when you show up, you have to queue to get a Proof of Age wristband. Even if you are 60, you will still need this feckin wristband to get some booze at the event.
    Once you queue for the wristband you then have to queue for tickets.
    No! These tickets are not for the stupid rides that you dont have to go near, these are for the booze! Can you believe that? Feckin TGI mc. Scratchy dollars that come in books of ten minimum, costing 30 dollars.
    So you have your ten tickets, have queued for maybe half an hour to get these things, and you still have a strange empty feeling twixt index finger and thumb where beer shaped objects should always be. So now you have to off yourself to a designated drinking area. At this point burly blokes will look at your armband, and stop the 16 year olds from getting in. Lilyworld, for me, was the best drinking area. It had two or three stages, a great group of people in there, plenty of space and the queues at the bars werent that bad(Maybe 15 minutes). But everyone who went to a bar tended to get 3 or 4 drinks there, to avoud having to queue again for another 15 to 20 minutes
    A beer is two tickets, smirnoffs and the like are three. Water is one, and so on.

    But once the sun died down a bit or we had found enough shade to sit and drink life was good. The smaller stage areas are marquees, difficult to push up into. The bathroom queues were pretty fine. I recommend you see the Nightwatchman. I thought Bjork was a load of pants. Rage ruled and make sure you have the day after off of work. I dont. I am sitting in my office chair contemplating crying if someone makes me move. I want to die, which means that BDO was probably pretty cool and that I am too old for this **** any more.

    Yeah I was there last year and a hat is the essential for the day.

    No interest in seeing Bjork so I'm going to see Brand New headline the second stage. Like you I shall be working the day after. Can't wait!
