01.11.10 | I'm seeing Karnivool, Mastodon, Kasabian, Rise Against, Grinspoon, Jet and others that i've probably forgotten. My first BDO too. |
TheyTookOurJobs
01.11.10 | mastodon, rise against, karnivool and mars volta is what i would see |
qwe3
01.11.10 | you need to watch muse live |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | Karnivool is a must. You should also see TMV. And if you havnt seen Muse before, you should. Live they're heaps of fun. |
DaveyBoy
01.11.10 | Yeah, even if you don't like Muse all that much, their live show is definitely worth seeing at least once. And I doubt they will fill their set with new album stuff.
Unsure if it's the same on the Gold Coast, but I still don't believe the Melb clash of Girl Talk vs Passion Pit & Kasabian vs Temper Trap.
Oh & I've got 2 words for ya: RISE AGAINST
|
AnotherBrick
01.11.10 | 2 and 7 is all thats worth seeing |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | yeah they have the clash here as well so shit. might have to see a bit of muse after TMV but i cant see myself standing watching the whole thing.
Atm looks like a karnivool, girl talk/passion pit, kasabian/temper trap, then maybe rise against or dizzee. TMV and if i my back permits muse. its gonna be a hard decision to split the clashes |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | Dude Muse are headlining. You can't just "give them a miss". |
Douchebag
01.11.10 | If only Grinspoon were playing their really old stuff and Faith No More were playing here instead of shitwave... |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | my sentiments exactly
|
KritikalMotion
01.11.10 | Lol, soundwave shits on this
would like to see tmv, karnivool and maybe muse though |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | you truly are an idiot alligator |
Douchebag
01.11.10 | Ugh, what the fuck have I done now?
It's 41 degrees, so don't argue. |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | if someone gave me a soundwave ticket i would sell it.. not my scene |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | This year Soundwave shits on BDO. But i missed out on tickets to the former so i'm just doing BDO....
Isis + FNM > BDO |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Muse, The Mars Volta & Rise Against for me. And as for Faith No More....well they're playing about a month later so i'm not fussed about that. |
Prophet178
01.11.10 | I'd skip on 4. |
cirq
01.11.10 | im in love with 4 at the moment. |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | 4 is actually pretty decent.. |
Phil
01.11.10 | I'm going to Soundwave instead. I wanna see Karnivool, Lily Allen and Muse mainly but I'm sure all them will come to Adelaide at some other time. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | LOL Big Day Out more like Big Gay Out. Or perhaps they should just change to LSD seeing as 80% of the patrons are on it. Soundwave has forcefully raped the BDO since 2007. This is nothing new. |
shindip
01.11.10 | Seee Kasabian |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | Taylor showers us with his wisdom. |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | Ha big gay out it's a play on words how witty. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Actually it's not a play on words. |
tombits
01.11.10 | if you look at the soundwave line ups they've been getting progressively worse. this year's would be pretty average if they didn't add glassjaw as a late act. |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | It doesn't matter. I agree with you on the soundwave has overtaken bdo music wise. But as you can see I'm not much of a metal fan so soundwave is about as appealing to me as an elbow to the face. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | How is A Wihelm Scream, Comeback Kid, AFI, Faith No More, Sunny Day Rea Estate, Paramore, RX Bandits, Gallows, ISIS, Alexisonfire, Architects, The Get Up Kids, Closure In Mosocw and The Weakerthans an average line up? Add Glassjaw and it's an excellent lineup and even though I can't stand them Meshuggah would appeal to a tone of people aong with a lot of other bands at SW. Compare that to BDO, the entire lineup for that festival seems to have been drawn out of a hat. |
AtavanHalen
01.11.10 | Faligator once again.
Mastodon Girl Talk Peaches and see Decemberists at their sideshow |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | Too many bogans at BDO |
Powerban
01.11.10 | It's either bogans or emos. I'll hang out with the emos this year because Soundwave > BDO. Fear Factory are playing BDO though. They were great when they last toured here with Devildriver and Dry Kill Logic. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Only time I ever saw bogans at bdo was when Metallica played. |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | Yeh but scene chicks put out. Bogan guys don't. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Only time I saw bogans at BDO is everytime they show a news report on it and the camera pans over the crowd. Also when tickets went on sale and my Facebook news feed proceeded to be clogged with "OMG, no tix left :(" |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | I think we might have different ideas about the word bogan. |
Prophet178
01.11.10 | Wtf is a bogan? |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Mine is: People who wear anything that says Unit, Unite or Skin. Also people who drink at festivals and people who can't speak in an articulate manner. So basically 80% of this country. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | http://www.nz.com/new-zealand/guide-book/history/bogan.aspx |
Prophet178
01.11.10 | Oh, so they're like the bros of New Zealand. Nice. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | I swear NZ is some sort of time warp paradise. Those were what bogans were in the 80's over here. These days the general attitude associated with the word is championed by just about every racist(sorry, PATRIOT) , beer swilling, cricket/AFL fan. |
tombits
01.11.10 | PalaceofWisdom, a lot of those bands don't appeal to me but I can see the attraction of that line up. It just seems like it has become a lot more metal-orientated in the last year or two, which is a shame. I mean, look at some of the main acts from the line up in 2007:
The Offspring, Alexisonfire, Thursday, Motion City Soundtrack, The Fall of Troy, mewithoutYou, The Recieving End of Sirens, Mae, As Tall as Lions, City and Colour, Keven Devine, The Dear Hunter, Jim Ward, Mae. |
tombits
01.11.10 | Sorry, that was 2008, my bad. And by calling it "a shame", that's purely from a subjective standpoint. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | If it were last year I would've agreed that it's become more metal oriented but this year it's Pop-punk, hardcore and post-hardcore that seems to be the dominant force in sound. I mean The Dillinger Escape Plan and Underoath were two of the main attractions in 09. This year you've got AFI, Paramore and My Chemical Romance on the main stage which is a damn site closer to punk then it is metal. Metal took a huge hit this year, which personally I'm thankful for after sitting through the sheer boredom that was 10 minutes of Lamb of God last year. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Something else that should've been mentioned in that page was that they believe that the only good music is made by The Exponents.I read something recently about aussie Bogans. Worshipped The Screaming Jets etc.
Prophet, kinda the nz version of a redneck. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Nah see over here they basically just listen to whatever triple j tells them too. Which is why so many of them create Nirvana cover bands. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Ah right. But now you see why i've only seen them when Metallica headlined. And their dad's came along when Neil Young was here last year. |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | All you have to do is look for the Southern Cross tattoos, and there's your bogans.. |
Powerban
01.11.10 | Bogan: A patriotic redneck who seems to always be donning a flannie (flannelette shirt) and wearing his japanese safety boots (flip-flops/thongs).
They are a creature that is usually found at your local pub, they like the unshaven messy look. When not wearing their favourite flannie, they are shirtless at all other possible times and always have a beer in their hand that they probably stole from your fridge anyway. They aren't necessarily always looked down upon, but no one wants to be called one.
Redneck-lite. If you will. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Southern Cross tattoos? |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Yeah Billy has the best point. A tattoo of the southern cross usually signifies idiocy and boganitis. |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | Southern Cross tatts are an Aussie thing. To bogans it shows your patriotic blah blah. Whereas it actually makes you look like a douche. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | What's it meant to represent? Over here The Southern Cross is a bar haha. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Come to think of it those tattoos are a lot like the Oz equivalent to the KKK crosses seeing as the only people who have them want all the ethnic people to "get out". |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Don't the kiwi's have the southern cross on their flag as well? You know the stars in the cross formation? |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Well there's the union jack and the stars in the shape of a cross. So, these people wear this tat as some kind of warped sense of patriotism? |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Yeah basically. They also tie the flag around their necks like a cape and say Oi! like 500 times an hour. |
Powerban
01.11.10 | Usually on their neck so everyone can see it. They're the laziest patriot ever. I'LL GET A TATTOO WITH MY CENTRELINK MONEY ON MY NECK TO SHOW HOW MUCH I LOVE AUSTRALIA. THEN I'LL GET MY BAG OF FRUITY LEXIA OR VB IF I ROLL SOMEONE IN THE PARK. THEN I'LL PASS OUT IN YOUR GARDEN. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | THEN I'LL TELL PEOPLE WHO HAVE JOBS, THAT THEY DON'T BELONG HERE!!!!!! |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | Think we've managed to sum them up nicely.. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | The only thing i've ever seen out here that's close to that are people who either get the outline of NZ or the Taranaki Hardcore logo put on them, but that's just a tribute thing.
Slightly off topic here, but any Aussies who wish to have a laugh at NZ's expense (please do) needs to read this:
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/New_Zealand |
Powerban
01.11.10 | Lol, I read the aussie and pommie one a week or so ago. They're surprisingly truthful in a brutal way. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | I actually ended up on the floor laughing.
The Flight Of The Conchords are what happen when you divide by zero lol! |
Powerban
01.11.10 | Lol. "FACT: Maoris are not people" |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | Maori's are known to gather in Social Clubs known affectionately as "Gangs". Ancient Maori protocol states on sight of these groups one must yell "YO FUCK NIGGERS!!!" "SIEG SEIG!!!" to properly respect their culture. |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | Hahahaha nice, Dreams. |
Powerban
01.11.10 | Haha, yeah that site is a classic. Americunts are also hilarious. |
Powerban
01.11.10 | "It is believed by the year 2020 120% of New Zealand will be azn and 4/5th's of stores will sell noodles. "
Haha, This. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | There are actually so many Asians in Auckland it's not funny. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't bother me at all, but it's become so noticeable in the last few years. |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | Currently reading the Australia page. Fuck its funny. |

01.11.10 | How odd, the Australia article has a facebook photo of a girl I know on it. |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | no shit. a bogan? |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | No the girl dry humping the fake kangaroo, she lives in Perth. Never puts out though. |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | Except with kangaroos? |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Possibly, she is a scene girl. |
Dreamsoffew
01.11.10 | I'm just glad you said that photo and not the one of Dame Edna haha. |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | Wow your social commentary makes me sort of glad your not gonna be there. What's your idea of fun? Watching wrestling and jacking off over cm punk? |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | Yes. |

01.11.10 | Or yahtzee. The amazing game of chance |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | This guy has never played drunk twister with a girl. Best hook up game ever. |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | I can't say it's the first thing I reach for when I'm out. I'm not 15 anymore so I don't need hookup games |
Phil
01.11.10 | I played a drinking game which is like poker but with dice. It was rather odd but fun. |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | So your husband is frisky and easily pleased eh? |
Mordecai.
01.11.10 | haha sickburn |
iisblackstar
01.11.10 | Wow good one my little brother has pay outs like that. And what year of school are you going into this year? Do the bullys pick on you for wearing John cena shirts under your school clothes. |
Vooligan
01.11.10 | Round 1, Ding Ding Ding... |
ThePalaceOfWisdom
01.11.10 | LOL I don't like John Cena dude, I'm a TNA fan for the most part. Also don't get pissy at me because you hit 34 and your mum stopped slipping you the tongue on christmas eve. |

There's enough for everyone there. |
