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. !
Peace

No I don't have any other goss , I'm catching up with Adam this week so I'll try and get some more info .
I'd say by looking at that list , you'd think that Chalice will be named , Daysend , the manager from Sakkuth mentioned they were on about a month ago and LOG.

Unfortuantely as long as Triple J have anything to do with M4TB, nu(un)-metal bands will be on the bill.
As for Daysend, they have one incredible guitarist, a fairly solid musical line up and a shaved chimp with it's head up it's ass for a vocalist. As long as this is the case I will be avoiding them like I avoid Jehovah's Witnesses.

Triple J has nothing to do with the selection of the bands and I'm pretty sure either does Tropiano , they are chosen by Rodd & Adam the MFTB organisers . The reason more commercial ventures like Triple J & Kerang are involved is due to the enormous costs the lads have to come up with out of their own pockets before a ticket is even sold .
I don't get into the more popular bands that play (besides Alchemist)but I realise that if there was only death, grind or black metal bands playing there would probably be only 500 people rather than 1500 -1700 they've had the last few years (I tip MFTB to break 2000 this year ) and the more payers , means more money raised for Alec Hurley & The Brain Injury Foundation ,which is why the Armoured Angel guys started MFTB in the first place .
Shit bands means time to check out merch , have beer or a billy or chat to people .

Damn straight, Unkle!
If it wasn't for those shit, commerical-type bands we would never have time to wander off into the carpark and get drunk! Or have anyone to hurl mindless abuse at!
And anyway, they can't do worse then the band Screamage that played back in 2001. Fucking gothic electro shit that had an intro feed of 'bout 10 minutes (which meant they only played for 15 minutes, but they sucked!)
And remember kids: M4TB is more about letting Alex have a better quality of life for another year then it is 'bout what fucking bands are playing.
Geez! Grow up, shut up and climb into the pit when your favourite band hits their first rift!
May the METAL never die!!!

No offence Ewen, but I don't think many people go to MFTB thinking "Yeah fuck yeah better quality of life for Alex
" They go to see the bands.Which in turn gives him the better quality of life. So the event is more about the bands, the money raised is more about alex.

Well, people suck, don't they!

Ah, yes. Another dirty joke makes the world go 'round.

For some reason I was under the impression that Triple J orgainsed the bands that play on their stage. Don't know where I got that idea from??
Anyway, I have to disagree. I think if there was a higher number of quality metal bands then it would be a much more successful event. I know quite a few people who have said they won't bother going because it's all the "same old bands", "it's too far to travel to see bands that play here anyway", etc, etc.
As for raising money for Alex, unfortunately it's not people's first priority when deciding whether or not to go. It should be, but it's not. The fact that it's a charity event is merely a bonus in many cases.

His name is Alec.
Triple J and Kerrang are sponsors of the event, but it's the Sanigav/Alchemist guys who organise the bill and choose who's playing, which is as it should be, or it would have become "Heavy Alternative for the Brain" years ago and Powderfinger would be headlining.

Yep.
Sorry 'bout calling him Alex. Just another one of my's many fuck-ups where people's names are concerned.
And having our beloved METAL FOR THE BRAIN being taken over by anyone else and renamed would be so far beyond wrong.
Something like that would require riot level vengeance in my's book. Like we should have done last year, but no one was with I.
Oh, well

I'd like to know which quality bands you think have missed out , even though there is still more bands to be announced and when you say "much more successful event" , do you mean for your own personal enjoyment or crowd wise .
I was actually suprised at the line up so far , there seems to be a lack of no name filler that has appeared in recent years.
great line up so far....but Psycroptic, Alarum need to be up there too....also Deaths boundaries and omnium would be fuckin great!
