More Soundwave bands announced

[Spiff]

Kind of getting more interested in this now.

We are thrilled to bring you the 2nd and final Soundwave 2011 artist announcement.

Joining Iron Maiden and Queens Of The Stone Age as our headliners is ONE DAY AS A LION, the explosive collaboration between Rage Against The Machine front-man Zack de la Rocha and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore. Their set at the Fuji Festival this year was the undisputed highlight of the festival and we are proud to have secured not 1, but 5 rare appearances by this artist.

Rounding out our new arrivals are triumphant recent visitors BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE and BRING ME THE HORIZON; horror punk killers THE MURDERDOLLS; legendary metal monster DIMMU BORGIR making their Australian debut; punk rock gods MILLENCOLIN presenting their seminal album Pennybridge Pioneers (and more); prog rock’s finest flag fliers COHEED & CAMBRIA; and a band whose amazing live shows needs little introduction to Australian audiences, THE AMITY AFFLICTION.

Add to that FEEDER, H2O, THE ROCKET SUMMER, SAXON, SILVERSTEIN, FUCKED UP and WE THE KINGS and you have an announcement worthy of being its own festival!

Trivia note: I don't think I've heard more than one Saxon song (Rock 'n' Roll Gypsy). Probably more than that, just don't realise it.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Dimmu! Holy Shit! They are fantastic live.

 

[Spruce Goose]

None of them excite me really.

 

[Bucko]

wow - saxon \m/

 

[Priest of Evil]

HOLY FUCK!!! SAXON!!!

 

[Winmar]

Dimmu! They'd be good to see. And Saxon! They were great when I saw them a couple of years ago.

Trent likes Murderdolls, doesn't he? I'll check them out if they don't clash with anyone else cool, but this year I spent almost the whole day at the metal stage anyway.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Jordison will be pulling a double shift on drums with Rob Zombie and guitar for The Murderdolls.

 

[Spiff]

Can anyone recommend a good Saxon album I should start off with? Or should I just get a best-of?

 

[Goreripper]

Wheels of Steel, Long Arm of the Law or Inner Sanctum

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Inner Sanctum

Let me feel your pooowwweeerrr!!

 

[salty]

I bought tickets to this today despite my immense burning hate for festivals.

The addition of Coheed did it for me

 

[Spiff]

OK, getting Wheels of Steel and Strong Arm of the Law on iTunes. Both for $14.99 - sweet!

 

[Priest of Evil]

Denim & Leather too Spiff! Saxon had a slighty more commercial period where they tried to make a bigger impact on the American market. Innocence is no excuse is a solid polished album from the early stages of that period which peaked with keyboard drenched Destiny but they still had some good tracks IMO on that one.

[Sydo]

Saxon!!
They have a doco coming out too soon, yeah?

 

[Bucko]

Saxon!!
They have a doco coming out too soon, yeah?

i think it's out in the UK and Europe

 

[FerretallicA]

God damn lineup clashes...
Mostly Protest The Hero right in the middle of Iron Maiden

Hopefully they play a pretty predictable set list and I can work out when I won't mind missing a few songs to see PTH mid-Maiden.

 

[Spruce Goose]

A7X have pulled out of Soundwave

 

[Goreripper]

I wouldn't have minded seeing Kylesa either. Oh well. Sucked in to A7X. They saw the running sheet and went, "Oh fuck!" But they were originally offered an earlier set, which they knocked back because they wanted to play at night. I guess no one told them at in the middle of summer, it doesn't get dark until 8.30 or so and also IRON FUCKING MAIDEN was headlining, not them.

 

[Bucko]

Guys ... any suggestions as to where to stay so its easy to be to Eastern Creek, Blacktown, ,Penrirth back in the CBD, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated ....as I have never been there nor experienced the congestion that is bound to be experienced with so may paeople trying to get to one destination

 

[Goreripper]

You'd be better off staying somewhere close to Blacktown and getting on the shuttle they're running from the station. Eastern Creek is a clusterfuck when it comes to driving.
