Amon Amarth - Australian Tour Dates (April 2012)

[gnoff]

hey bro, if you want any merch from the Aussie Tour, let me know and i'll send you something!

Cheers bro!
I'll think of it, though not needed of course!
I usually only get merch from shows I've been to myself, more memories

 

[Gazza]

First time i've used the internet in nearly 2 years hah. Figured after i heard about this i'd make a post or 2. Fucking Killer. hopefully going to visit my brother is Brisbane for this aswel as going to the Melbourne show. Money is hard to come by being an apprentice so we'll have to see what happens.

Hopefully me & or CLint can convince the guys to do Victorious March at melbourne (if it's not on their setlist).

it's not on the setlist, bro. well, not on the setlists that i have seen that they're currently playing. i don't blame them though. the guys must be sick to death of that song!

that said, i couldn't stop playing it when i got given the all clear with the cancer. wooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

hope you can get to a couple of shows, bro! it's just me doing a bit of a tour this year (syd and melb). it's going to be weird not having you or clint with me interstate. if i can manage to get more time off and have the energy in me, i'll do brissy or adelaide as well.

 

[Gazza]

thanks heaps to infestacide for giving me a list of places to stay in sydney town. you're a champion, brother!

one week to go! \m/

expensive ticket price .. I payed less than half to see Amon Amarth along with Entombed

 

[PaganBlood]

This is a standard price for Australian international acts. Its usually around $100-$120 so these AA shows are quite cheap

 

[PaganThunder]

Fuck yes, brisbane in less than 48 hours. Going to be a couple of killer epic shows! to bad i couldnt make it down to sydney aswel, next time!

 

[Gazza]

enjoy Brissy, Vaughan brother! wish you and Clint were coming to Sydney with me! see you both in Melbourne on Monday night!

One more sleep until I fly up to Sydney! very excited!

 

[gnoff]

Enjoy!

 

[Thimon]

Have fun down under

 

[Gazza]

tonight we separate the men from the Vikings!

Sydney bound soon! \m/

 

[PaganThunder]

sydney was insane! i did what i wasn't supposed to do and crowd surfed. ted saw me and laughed hahaha.

security got real nasty when i got over the barrier. they hate surfers in sydney! oh well.

bring on tonight!

 

[Gazza]

melbourne was AMAZING!

had dinner with Fred, Clint, Vaughan, his gf and a few others before the show.

got to the fourth track of the night and Johan said something along the lines of this "we don't usually do this, but this song is dedicated to a special friend of ours who beat cancer. you know who you are! live without regrets!"

i just about lost my mind when they dedicated that to me. it meant so much! i was a very happy Viking and did not expect that at all!

got to go backstage after the show as well which was great. it gave me a chance to thank the guys for all their support and well wishes when i was off crushing cancer (and to wish Ted Happy Birthday)

WHAT AN AMAZING COUPLE OF SHOWS!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PowerBlade]

That was really cool with that dedicated song, perfect fit too. Didn't know you knew them though!

 

[Gazza]

 

[Belgar]

Great Gazza, well deserved. That's one thing that has gotten me to stick with AA throughout the years, a band with a human face. The way metal should be, a big family.

 

[PaganBlood]

They're finally making there way back here after years!!! 2023
