Perth? That must be a misprint, nobody ever goes there, just ask Coops!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

*sigh*

 

[spawn]

I know Blitzy, but look at it this way, pretty soon they will have exhausted every band we dont give a crap about and we will get nothing but great bands

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, I am still pleased to see international acts make their way out here, I just hope some bands I am interested in will follow suit.

 

[KoichCPA]

Why is it out of all the people into metal in this country, I only ever hear you two bitching about who's touring.

How about going to these some of these shows so the bands you do like actually see it worthwhile coming over. It'll do you good to get out of the house spawny.

 

[spawn]

So your theory is to go see bands I have no interest in at all on the very small chance that someone good comes out?

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I am definately not complaining about such bands touring, as I said above, it is good for metal in this country. It is just annoying that some of the bands I like and would really want to see live can't make it out.

As for going to the shows I have little interest in, I can barely afford to go to shows I want to go to (I missed The Haunted ), so I sure as hell can't afford to go to these shows for the hell of it.

 

[Sydo]

What I find annoying is that some bands will happily tour here and play clubs in front of less than 200 people, yet another band sees 1000 as still not enough.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Yeah, that is pretty sucky on their behalf.

 

[Southy]

I guess that matbe dude to greed and the expense of the crew they drag around with them mate

 

[KoichCPA]

So your theory is to go see bands I have no interest in at all on the very small chance that someone good comes out?

Well at least go see a local gig every once in a while.

 

[Winmar]

It's worth going to see SYL just to gawk at Gene Hoglan's amazing hands and feet.

 

[Goreripper]

And the fact that the whole band is amazing live and Devin Townsend is a funny bastard!

 

[KoichCPA]

Is it SYL and DTB? cos I can't seem to find that out anywhere.

Tickets are 50 bucks, and once again because of the Metro's fucked up ticket policy I have to go up to Sydney to buy them.

It's also the night before my sisters wedding, so I'll be driving back that night.

The things I do for metal.

 

[Goreripper]

Hey Josh if you send me the money, I'll get your ticket for you and you won't have to come up here to get it.

 

[KoichCPA]

PM your address then, I'll send it up next wednesday.

 

[Celestial-Todd]

I wonder who'll be supporting?

 

[KoichCPA]

Frankenbok I hope.
