Anyone else going this weekend. Chris and I will be there both days. Should be pretty good although Slash and Judas Priest are on at the same time

You HAVE to go see these guys!!

The kids favourite, I've gotta admit they're pretty cool, especially "Burger Rain" .

They have a TV show which shows on ABC3.

(Phenominal Soundwave lineup by the way!)

[Glen]

On at the same time as Soundgarden/Faith No More. Might have to skip the Aquabats.

Agree can't get over the lineup, you're gonna have a ball!!

Pretty good couple of days, some disappointments and some surprises as you'd expect.
Highlights and Lowlights

Day 1

Steel Panther - Piss funny and play pretty well but 20 mins is probably enough
Fear Factory - sounded crap
Dragonforce - on the same stage as Fear Factory and were really good.
Soundgarden - were horrible. Sound was shite
Faith No More - still play well but they're not believeable any more. Look too old and whats with the matching white suits and the flowers all over the stage.
He Is Legend - Never heard of them before but were friggin awesome. Have already bought the last album
Atreyu - Again hadn't heard them but were really good. Absolutely smashed it out of the park

Day 2

Godsmack - Absolutely sensational. Pissed rain in the middle but they kept on with it. Play really well and the sound was awesome.
Papa Roach - were OK but not overly brilliant.
Marilyn Manson - was actually pretty good. Haven't listened to them before but was pretty good. A lot of stuff sounded the same.
Slash - Awesome as you'd expect. Played some older GnR stuff as well which was pretty good. Sound was better than anyone on both days.
Slipknot - Left after two songs. Stage looked impressive but not for me. Couldn't hear anything other than drums
Judas Priest - Don't know, didn't get to see them because the dumbarse organisers put them on stage 4 at the same time that Slash was playing. I was hanging out to see them.

Future Business opportunity identified.........Tattoo removal. Didn't see too many people over the two days without Tatts and I reckon when most of them get about 5-10 years older they'll be clambering to get them off.

Did they stop the concert yesterday with the storm.?

[Glen]

Stage 1 and 2 stopped for about 5 mins I think. We were on our way to Stage 4 where Godsmack were playing and it stopped for a couple of minutes in the middle I think. We were parked under an awning for about 10 minutes through the worst of it then it was over and back to normal.
