Australian Anthrax web page

[aliasp]

Great site!!! Guys I am gonna be doing some killer artwork for a commemorative kinda mural type of thingy! I was actually thinking of doing an Anthrax Oz tour website (but u beat me too it ... so if u guys are interested I could make a whole series of posters that u can print and perhaps get signed if ya want or shit like that!

FUCK I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM - its been 13 long years between drinks since I saw them on the POT at Thebby! I missed them at the Bridgeway on the Stomp tour.


Anyway stay Metal \m/

Sounds cool alias. I was at Thebby too - It was my first ever concert!!! I'll never forget one pissed clown running out on to the road out front of Thebby before the gig and rolling accross the car's bonnet when it slammed its brakes on - funny shit !!!!

Great gig too - can you remember it that well?? The Bridgeway rocked too, but Heaven will be a killer venue to see Anthrax.

Yep Timmyc that was my first concert too! I remember waiting in the queue outside and this Asian tourist in his mid 40s just comes up and joins the queue ... he had a video camera as well!

I remember in the actual concert (I sat up the back in the seated section) seeing this guy with his mate in a headlock running left to right and bouncing off the walls! Ah yes! what a killer concert - pity the turnout was so shit! They deserved a sellout crowd!

I remember headbanging so much that My neck muscles gave way and I couldn't lift my head for days! Was hilarious! The sound was deafening too!

 

[timmyc]

Yeah being first concert also I went for the safety of the seats up top - I was 13 and jumping up and down on those lounge leather seats until the security told me to settle down!!!! Maybe I was the one in the headlock - who knows, haha

Was the turnout shit - I always had thought the place was pretty packed at the show......??

 

[aliasp]

well it was roughly about 1000 but Thebby can hold a lot more than that ... the crowd wasn't shit so much as not as huge as expected! I remember I scored a HUGE fukn tour poster from the old manager of the now defunct Hot Rock on Hindley St (one for the old school guys on here). My mate now has that poster and I swear its takes up a whole wall!

 

[timmyc]

Hot Rock - jeebus I remember that place - loads of t-shirts !!!! I managed to flog one of the Stomp tour posters from the Bridgeway. You happy about Heaven being the venue - I reakon its a mad place to see metal gigs (but I did miss Fear Factory last night sadly...)

 

[ariesgirl442]

Damn I remember Hot Rock too. Ok now I feel old.

 

[aliasp]

Hot rock was great. I remember the manager, Louiy (I think his name was) ... funny british guy with long blond hair ... I used to do drawings of touring bands for him and he would get them signed ...man that is like late 1989 ...1990 or thereabouts!

As for Heaven ...well to be honest I have never been inside! Mates of mine used to go clubbing there but I never went.

 

[timmyc]

Yeah, Louis still does the Adelaide rounds - I see him sometimes in town

Never been to Heaven - really??!!!! For a metal gig its superb - very intimate - VERY close up to stage - it will be wild. I saw the Mark Of Cain there a couple years back and it was awesome.

 

[droogs]

hehe damn you oldies comparing stories!! :hotjump:

i'm 17 and when anthrax last came here i woulda been 9, and would have had NO idea who anthrax were, hehe.

*prays for gig to be all ages*

 

[aliasp]

get me my wheelchair and walking stick will ya sonny? hahahaha! I will be very surprised to see the average age group of those at the concert give Anthrax are an `old school' metal band nowadays!

 

[timmyc]

I reakon it'll be touch and go about the gig being under 18s Droogs - Opeth is so there is hope mate. Fingers crossed for ya.

 

[droogs]

I reakon it'll be touch and go about the gig being under 18s Droogs - Opeth is so there is hope mate. Fingers crossed for ya.

Lol, thats the only thing that is giving me hope..if Opeth is, then Anthrax has to be!! Hehe, cheers for the crossed fingers

 

[timmyc]

If its not all ages you'll be hard pressed to get into Heaven right now with all the shit going down re the underaged problems they're having. I say go the fake ID if all else fails!!!!!

 

[droogs]

Hehe, but how???? Lol seriously, i have preciseley ZERO 'connections' with that sorta shit, if i was able to get a fake ID i woulda done it in like year 9! Sigh, perhaps i should convince myself i can't go, then i wont be dissapointed, and if i can go i'll be overjoyed rather than depressed...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :/
