[Unklekronoz]

[Goreripper]

'Tis indeed!

 

[Descend-Lunchbox]

fingers crossed we get on this

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I think you'd need more then your fingers crossed box.....

 

[JACKO]

oh my fucking god!
im going
what a line up, theyre all fucking mad bands(exept a few on the triple j stage)
:hotjump:

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I get the feeling the triple J stage is just there to get rid of the dickheads and also get the show a little mainstream publicity!

 

[Goreripper]

Heh heh. If that's any indication of the playing order, it looks like it'll go:
Contrive, Astriaal, Frankenbok, Earth, Jerk, Dungeon, Cog, D666, Superheist, Blood Duster, Alchemist, Damaged.
Interesting, no?

 

[JACKO]

so there will be three stages playing all the way through?

 

[KoichCPA]

The Kerrang and Triple J are the same stage, they play on one side while other side sets up, and so on and so forth.

Four sweet words The Pimp has been waiting to hear reach Canberra for a fucking long time:
HOBB'S ANGEL OF DEATH!!!
The Pimp ain't the biggest fan of these guys but, if memory serves correct, they are fucking awesome band to watch live.
I's been wanting to see them again ever since I's heard they got back together for the Mayhem support last year.
Fucking awesome that an old school band of this calibur will be playing M4TB. Now if we can only get Mortal Sin a slot on the bill.
Hhmmm. . .
Someone call Wayne Cambel imediately!


Heh heh!
Fuck this is gonna rock this year!
Peace

Mortal Sin played a few years back at the ANU and they were appalling , it was not all the original members and they did very little justice to what was a once great band .

I'm in 2 minds about Hobbs , once again I think he is the only original member involved and it has been a long time between drinks . Also I saw a photo of him not long ago backstage at Incantation in Melbourne and he had his nails painted (geigh).

 

[Goreripper]

Please don't let Mortal Sin reform again! When they played in 96 it was, as Uncle suggests, a disgrace. They practically came to blows with one another on stage, the bass player had been fired the week before and they had a stand in, and it was a blot on their proud heritage. As for Hobbs, he's been known to cancel at the last minute, so don't get your hopes up too much.

Yes. . . I's was being a touch facetious 'bout getting Mortal Sin to play, but once again, it looks like the internet has failed I on the sarcasm front.
Oh, well.

I's do remember hearing 'bout the Mortal Sin gig back in '96 from Wayne himself and what a disaster it was.
But I's have heard good things from Hobb's last few gigs (the Mayhem & Destruction supports) and it looks like they will be playing early anyway, so it's not like I's gotta wait all day to have my's hopes flattened.

Anyone heard anymore 'bout the lineup yet? Unkle? Gore?
Does anyone if Black Steel can finally make it across this year? Because if M4TB needs more of something, it's cheesy Power Metal.

[Goreripper]

I reckon Black Majesty should play.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I reckon Apolyom should play.....

I can hear the chorus of approval right now!

 

[Shadow298]

Hhmmm. . . Does the distant chirping of crickets count there, Todd?

 

[Lord Tim]

I reckon Dungeon should play!

...

Oh.

Nevermind...
