Well that's a very odd observation considering they're playing at the same venue as they did last time. They could have saved themselves a lot of time and money if they played two shows at the hi-fi or something.scorpian007 said:I think Melb gets 3 shows because the venue is quite small (smaller than last time)
Damn right, we're the nations capital. I think we deserve atleast one show. There are tonnes of of Opeth fans here anyway.Koichi said:Exactly, it's a small population, thats why Opeth aren't playing there, same reason Opeth won't play in Canberra, regardless of the fact it's the nations capital. I can go to sydney or melbourne though.

tossers.
and i bet some wanker does try to mosh to windowpane.
I think MFTB is the only metal act which does really well here.Koichi said:Not really scorpian, once you turn 18 you'll soon realise how small of a metal scene we have here, people who regulary go to gigs is about 100, people who come along for big gigs the total is 500 max, and thats for something huge with broad appeal. Mayhem didn't even sell out the ANU bar, and they were playing with Dungeon and Chalice.
The only international bands we get here are one's that don't play large venues and are happy with a small crowd.

Do we know if it's actually *under 18 only* or just all ages (ie. non licensed, closed bar, etc)? I don't see why they'd make it under-age only, since they'd be turning away the majority of their fan base, some of which would go to an all ages show as well as the other 2.Chow Mai Dong said:I can't complain since Melbourne gets 3 shows (well, one underage one which I won't be able to get into) but I'd still have much rather seen them at the HiFi as was originally intended. Really can't see shit at the Corner unless you're close to the stage. Wonder who will be supporting...?
Yep, it'll be under 18's only, due to Victoria's fucked licensing laws - in short, you can't have an all ages gig at a venue that would otherwise be licensed. It has to be either over 18's only or under 18's only, I don't know why they're not able to make it all-ages. All the other cities (except Brisbane I think) are getting all-ages shows.plattopus said:Do we know if it's actually *under 18 only* or just all ages (ie. non licensed, closed bar, etc)?
