Soundwave 2011

[MatteeG]

Hey Mattee, whaddya reckon will be a better set - LTJ or MxPx/Ataris?

Niether. Gonna watch Nonpoint

Quichey, to be honest I may even stray over with Tazz to watch Nonpoint.

Definitely LTJ though out of those 2 personally- I was never big on either MXPX or Ataris. LTJ always play a cracking show and are a good laugh.

[Q.]

Saw LTJ once, over a decade ago. Probably worth checking them out if only for the teenage nostalgia.

Reckon I've got my day planned out (but festival plans often turn to shit). Gets a bit hectic toward the end.

11:45-12:15...Less Than Jake
1:25-2:05.......Pennywise
3:35-4:25.......Primus
5:20-6:00.......Social Distortion
6:20-7:00.......H2O
6:55-7:55.......Queens of the Stone Age
8:00-8:40.......Melvins
8:40-9:20.......The Bronx


Anyone got some obscure recommendations for early in the day?

36 Crazyfists are meant to be decent live and I'm not sure what time they're on but recommend High On Fire bit similar to the Melvins but more stoner metal, they're doing a NZ tour together before Soundwave and I think one of the Melvins old bass players was up until recently in HoF too.

A few clashes for me.
bummed that Gang of Four & Primus are on at the same time.
should bloody awesome though.

so far I have this:-
1:25-2:05.......Pennywise
3:35-4:25.......Primus
5:20-6:00.......Social Distortion
...then the last bit of Slayer
7:20-8:00.......Millencolin
8:00-8:40.......Melvins
...then the last hour or so of Iron Maiden.

like quichey, i'm open to suggestions for earlier in the day.

Thanks for that Wizard!
Both look interesting. The sword remind me of early Sabbath & Sevendust seem like a modern incarnation of Living Colour.
Probably check em both out!

No full strength alcohol, can't drink at the stages, can't carry alcohol from stage to stage at Brisbane soundwave

I was reading that you aren't even allowed to bring in a sealed bottle of water. Not much chance of me sneaking in vodka now

Well thats sh!t.

What are you supposed to do about water then? Buy it in there? It'll be bloody expensive.

[The Sleeping Giant]

They said that last year too, but in Adelaide you could take grog anywhere. Don't know why it is a problem, as never saw any sort of aggro.

[Q.]

Slayer pulled out of the Sydney leg at the last minute because Tom Araya has a virus. More than a few fans not happy about it. At least he has a bit of time to recover before the next lot of shows.

[Wedgie]

I've got myself a new date, Ian!

Looking forward to this, only have one clash to work around at this stage in The Gaslight Anthem and Slash, will probably watch all of the Anthem and catch the end of Slash. Heard on JJJ this morning that Slash is doing a lot of GnR stuff including Sweet Child and Paradise City.
So many bands Im keen in seeing, but the legends Rob Zombie and Iron Maiden are at the top of my list.
Early forecast is for 30 degrees.
Beer catch up when there's a lull in proceedings (if there is one) perhaps?

Can't wait!

SAFooty beer sesh? I'm definitely up for it...Let me check my diary...

They'd better play here after pulling out of their Adelaide show last year!

I'll have a good hour and a half from 2PM (after Pennywise) to kick back with a few beers.

[Bum Crack]

will they be selling cans of spirits does anyone know?

[Wedgie]

That time looks good for me Quichey.

[Q.]

I'm thinking a catch up at one of the watering holes?
