THE WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA THREAD

aww damn pethical, don't tell me that!! :) thinking that i coulda been on the barrier in sydney... rather than behind hundreds of people obstructing my view!! i came straight from the airport to luna park and just didn't feel like standing in the one spot for a couple of hours... i regret that now. i didn't realise that the line was gonna get so ridiculous, and then it was too late. oh and you deserve more than chocolates! i'd say beer as well AT LEAST!

yeh i remember mikael say "i love you too", hehe. he said that at a melbourne show too...but i think thats cuz every second person was yelling out "mikael is god!"
 
It happened at the brizzy show which i just went to a few hours ago.... lol. I think he loves everyone. So yeh i dont usually post here, but that gig was fucking awesome so I guess its my duty ;). All in all a very good night, but -1 for the eternal cos that made me sleepy. I didnt even realise they had a keys player until their last song, lol.
 
Just back from the Brissy show and wow, that was awesome. Perhaps better than the past two times. The new drummer (name escape me) was fantastic, Mikael's clean vocals were fantastic (_so_ much stronger and confident than previously), and Mendez is just great to watch. Same setlist as the other Aussie gigs posted (Soldier of Fortune, Under the Weeping Moon, but no Moonlapse Vertigo). Mikael's banter was great as usual ('It's about the money, tits, and drugs', the singing Happy Birthday to 'Jeff the Cunt', and 'I hope you enjoy this, and if you don't.. you can fuck off'). Sound was great, crowd wasn't particularly bad, a great night all-round.

Yes, but a lot of people are talking about it, because it is quite unusual and a big surprise (to me at least) that they played it in full.

Yea it surprised me aswell. I've only heard them play it once before on some bootleg. It was fucking awesome though.
