I have a new guitar god

[Wenda]

...and I don't even know his name, but holy shit!

Went over to Chardons Corner last night for a cosy little local show...which included the first gig as a band for Mobstar, which has our Gammaray Glen on bass Super cheesy 80's metal, including a cover of Twisted Sister's 'I Wanna Rock', which was great And christ, wherever their lead guitarist came from, he shreds like crazy! Bloody hell!

Sedition also went off, I gotta get hold of their disc Played 2 Minutes to Midnight and something by Slayer (I'm not conversant on Slayer song names) as well

""I Wanna ROCK!""

**bangs head**

Another Dream Theater fan that doesnt know Slayer. Im fucking sick of this.

 

[Spiff]

Mike Portnoy used to incorporate a Slayer riff in his drum solo on the Awake tour, so at least HE'S heard of them.

 

[Icarus]

They played seasons in the abyss. Nice stuff

But the prize goes to the cover of I wanna rock

If scarlet played last night you would have seen another awesome shreddddder! Like a cross between Vinnie Vincent and Ywngie or something. Needless to say he rocks

 

[Goreripper]

Good to see Sedition back in business. Their album is a bit patchy IMO, but I haven't seen them live, so I can't comment.

 

[Icarus]

They are good since you can always count on them to throw a maiden song into their set

 

[Goreripper]

So they are like Brisbane's Dungeon then? Everyone goes to hear them play Maiden songs.

 

[spawn]

SEASONS IN THE ABYSS!

Something by Slayer indeed...

 

[Icarus]

haha yeah except Dungeons original material is alot better than seditions

Hey dude I watched the video clip for Boyz Are Gonna Rock today at a friend's house. Best video clip ever hahaha, its UNREAL! Crazy stuff! Just a performance video but they look super-super glam (more glam than Pretty Boy Floyd!) and they are going CRAZY, Vinnie is doign guitar trixx galore with the mic stand & a microphone and all this kinda stuff, then at the end they just trash the whole stage.... things are blowing up & some dude who's on fire runs onto the stage just outta nowhere (?? haha!), Dana's kicking his bass speakers off from the top of his stack of them, Vinnie smashes his hot pink double V Jackson through his Marshall cabinets and they all get set on fire, then Bobby's throwing his drums into it hahaha.. its awesome! And there's just hot pink GALORE haha!

I saw a band last night with The Deadthings callad Charring Cross (they stayed in the motel room next to us too) and their lead guitarist was pretty damn good!

D'oh.
I hope the gig sucked.

 

[TRrEiTxIxRiE DTrash]

The turnout sucked. I had a great time though and The Deadthings rocked.

First band on was Charring Cross from Melbourne. Dirty sleazy rock & roll with great guitarists and tons of solos (big hair metal freaks too, was drinking with them at the motel in the afternoon and reading Hollywood Rocks, there was bands in there I'd never heard of and they're like "Ohhh their bassist was in *insert other band I haven't heard of* etc" haha). They put on a good show. Could benefit from a full-time lead singer but they were still great.

Second band was Veil Of Anguish. Not my thing. But one of my old mates who I hadn't seen in ages coz he moved to Geelong filled in as their singer for the night, he's so metal on stage hahahahah.

Third band was Lucy's Fire. Black Sabbath rip offs with a better singer than Ozzy but crap songs. I wasn't paying much attention at this stage.

Then The Deadthings headlined and rocked the place, as usual.

Oh hush. Not everyone can know as much and be as awesome as you Spawny.

Yep, that sounds like Geelong!

Veil Of Anguish are f'king pathetic.

[Goreripper]

It's awesome.

Im going to assume that wasnt utterly rampant sarcasm...

 

[Wenda]
