Tool Confirmed For Big Day Out 2011

Well…looks like I’m going to the Big Day Out 2011.

Looks like I’m jumping the fence

Tool are kind of pish.

And the BDO line-up is pretty lame?

Surprised you guys in Oz are actually excited about it?

To be fair though I think all festivals suck.

Sorry if this is a negative post but I thought it was about time I had a hissy post and set the record straight with the pish-ness of Tool.

And the BDO line-up is pretty lame?

I take that back…Lupe Fiasco is on the bill with Rammstein.

To be fair though I think all festivals suck.

Ill ride akbars coattails on this one!

Good call…let’s pay insane amounts of money to take our shirts off and get sunburned and drunk and listen to over paid over hyped bands do half arsed sets along with 10,000 other 14-18yr olds who think Nirvana & Rammstein are the greatest thing since sliced bread…then lets get booted out at 11pm.

No thanks.

Lupe Fiasco will steal your girlfriends if you go and watch Grinderman, Iggy and the rest of the BDO posse.

The hiss continues.

You guys should save yourself $200 or whatever the BDO tickets are and just go see Mark Of Cain next time they swing through town…it’ll only cost you like $15 and they crap over everyone at BDO 2011.

Just thought I’d try help you guys save some cash.

Hiss

This is why I’m jumping the fence.

I can outrun a fat security guard any day. If I get caught, I’ll just get my chums to cry autism like they did last time, and they’ll say they were chasing me to ‘protect me’, but I got away.

If you meet me in person, you’ll see why this is believable.

If you get in head straight for Lupe…that’s where all the hot chicks will be.

This is useful information

But my taliban beard seems to work well as a pussy deflector [mad]

That sounds hilarious. Let us know how it goes!

A friend of mine once jumped the barrier at Giant’s Stadium during Metallica’s Summer Sanitarium tour (don’t laugh…) in order to get from the stadium seats to the general standing area (which was the actual field)

He got tackled down hard. It was pretty fucking funny. We thought for sure he was fucked because there were cops all around and we saw him get cuffed.

Hours later he returned in time to see whatever shit band was playing by then (I believe Limp Bizkit) with a very funny story about the police station below Giant’s stadium.

Good times…

Care to elaborate upon this?

It’s not your beard, it’s that crazed look in yr eye. That ‘I’ve just smoked some PCP bitch, wanna fight about it?!?’ look of yours. Man, it’s scary - you’re like a man on a wire. Like Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon 1: Fuck All Bitches And Non Catholics. Like someone who’s lost it all and there’s just no turning back.

Sometimes, just thinking about that ‘look’ keeps me awake at night. And I usually sleep like an angel.

Wooohooo!!!

nice

Nive avatar Godlike…I’ve got Wonderboy on the Wii and my girlfriend always hassles me for playing “old man” games when I play it!!!

That is a travesty, some of those “old man games” will fuck you sideways the second you blink, unlike the mildly interactive movies that pass for games these days. Taught us a thing or two about life, they did.

I was playing Super Smash TV on the Mega Drive last night. I bow down to anybody that can beat that game. Is that one on the Wii virtual console yet? Oh, and I hope you have Streets Of Rage 2!

Well we had pregamed heavily. We were like 17 and pretty drunk. We missed Mudvayne and then saw Deftones’ last few songs and they sounded awful in a stadium that size the sound was all warbly and flangey and murky.

We smoked a blunt on the bleachers and some nasty 40ish slut who was earlier flashing her wobbly tits (to the cheers from a crowd of drunken macho numetal trailertrash) approached us to hit the blunt.

And we said “ok but you have to flash us too” so she did and my friend started like jiggling her tit and she became very irate.

Then when Linkin Park came out it was getting dark so a bunch of morons rushed the barrier and were jumping into the field. So my friend ran too and we saw him get tackled but we didn’t know where he went after that.

So later he came back and said he was taken to a police station under Giants Stadium along with a bunch of other delinquents who had jumped the barrier. They were calling everyone’s parents.

So my friend (he is actually the former guitarist you hear on Nursing Home btw) gave a fake number and it happened to be some weird number that was a busy signal or somesuch.

So they just gave up and let him back in and somehow he found us in time to see Fred Durst firing a canon full of fireworks into the air and then go out into the audience during the Limp Bizkit set.

One funny thing which might amuse you guys: Limp Bizkit actually played the main riff and some other stuff from “Thieves” during this particular concert to amp people up between songs. Needless to say I was astonished because at the time I didn’t know they had covered “Thieves” and I thought Ministry was this secret band only I knew about.

What else? Oh yeah Metallica…Never been a big fan but I respect them. They were technically good but it was probably the worst time to see them because it was after all the tour for St. Anger…

dark times, bro

I have never had an experience like that.

Although, waiting for Ministry to come onstage during the Big Day Out 1995, I was watching The Cult perform - Ian Astbury wasn’t really winning the crowd over with his macho 80s rocker schtick, so he starts ‘revving’ the crowd up with some chants of ‘Bon Scott Fuck Yeah’, thinking we’d all go wild at the mere mention of an Aussie rock ‘icon’.

The silence, needless to say, was deafening.

HAHA! Awesome.

My first real concert was OZZY in 1990. Alice in Chains (they’d just come out with “Man in the Box”) was first to play to the empty Long Beach Arena. Then came Lynch Mob, followed by what was supposed to be the “main opening act” LA GUNS.

Well, by this time we’d all sat through enough non-Ozzy bullcrap and were in no mood for these asswipes to waste more of our time. I don’t even remember the name of the singer, but he was trying to win the crowd over and when they were doing their sorta hit “Ballad of Jayne” the singer would reach his mic stand down into the front audience, expecting them to sing the choral refrain.

But everytime homeboy would sing “What a shame” and hang that mic out waiting expectedly to hear " “What happened to Jayyyyyyyne?” the PA picked up “F**K YOUUUUU!!!” and “OZZZZZZYYYYY!!!”

It was magical.

To add further insult to the incident, after being completely heckled and hated for their entire set, LA Guns left. But during the set change to Ozzy, the intermission music on the PA played “One” by Metallica.

50,000 metalheads screamed out that entire song in unison from front to end. It was incredible. We all went ape for a piped in Metallica song, but couldn’t boo LA Guns off the stage fast enough.
