View Full Version : M-One

I went to M-One yesterday and had an awesome time. Did anybody else go? I was in the mosh pit and for awhile I was completely squashed. Highlight of my day - well, there were two - first, finally seeing Lifehouse live. They totally rocked! Secondly - I won a VIP pass from those cheerleader girls (Thanks to much persuasion from myself, DEES RULE and blues^rock) right after Lifehouse were on - so we went up and I MET LIFEHOUSE!! OMG, I still can't believe it. Talked to three of them (including lead singer Jason) and got their autographs. Wow. Later on went back down to watch Nickelback, who were IMO the best performers of the day. Also spoke to one of the guys from Crash Palace, he was wandering around on the turf, but he was completely stoned at the time and talked ****! All in all, I had a fantastic day.

I got a free ticket, and I'm glad I didn't pay for it!
Disorganised rabble!
However- there were a few good performances, namely Nickelback & Billy Idol (basically Steve Stevens is THE man).

I wish Ozzfest would come out to Australia. Blow everything this country has had music wise out of the water. Down, BLS, Ozzy, Meshuggah, Hatebreed, Soil, Ill Nino....you can't go wrong!
Can you actually mosh to any of those bands that played at M-1 anyway?

I'll second that!! An Ozzfest or even Tattoo The Earth would be good. As much as Metal For The Brain rocked last year, id like to see a metal festival with some big names.
There was a online petition going around a while ago to get Ozzfest to tour Australia which had a fair amount of signatures so ill try and find that.

I would imagine they call x thousand teenage girls a mosh pit, when in reality they just stand around.

That would be good! Wouldn't mind signing that petition a few thousand times myself! :D I'm hanging out for a really good tour, hasn't been much since Slayer and Machine Head came out, and that was AGES ago! I'm having withdrawals!
And a mosh pit with teeny boppers.... *shudders*.... perish the thought please!

If Nickelback were the best act there it must have been awful
I think Australia should host a 'Free Tibet' festival. They seem to get some pretty decent bands.

13 Oct 2002, 19:23
I think my friend went while she was over there just to see Antiskeptic. The only decent band there.
Meanwhile, today in Perth, 'Rock-It' was on. Perth's version of Homebake. Headling act of Grinspoon including bands like John Butler Trio, Bodyjar, Machine Gun Fellatio, Motor Ace etc. But I was too stingy to not afford it :(.

The last big metal act to come out on a full tour was Fear Factory last December. Slipknot were meant to come out in Feburary but cancelled. Sevendust were meant to come out in April-ish but cancelled.
We have everything in this country except a big metal festival.
Weve got M-One and Rumba for your 16 year old teenyboppers.
Weve got Gatecrasher, Ministry of Sound and Enchanted Forest raves for your ravers
Weve got the big country music festival (forgot its name) for your country fans
Weve got Big Day Out alternative fans
Yet nothing for your metal fan. We have Metal For Your Brain if youre willing to travel only to Canberra and see only local bands (and the odd international act).
But we have no metal festival which could attract big name metal bands. It sucks.

Unless you actually went I wouldn't be making a judgment like that. The mosh pit was actually mostly guys, and overall guys would have outnumbered girls - from what I saw.
Rain on my parade, why don't ya's....I saw Lifehouse, I was happy. :rolleyes:

He he!
Sounds like you spoke to Jez CP's guitarist. He was hammered and he didn't make much sense when I spoke to him, but when you are the first band up and you have free drinks back stage, it is easy to do! Marcus (lead singer) was also blotto and generally speaks **** even when he's sober.
I managed to secure media passes which got us basically everywhere and got some free stuff. I am fairly sure that everyone we were with or met didn't pay for their tickets. I feel sorry for anyone who did.
It was a alright day. Better than sitting at home I suppose and ended at a time when you could go out afterwards.

RE: Metal for the Brain - There was, at one stage, a rumour that Opeth were coming out for that festival. I searched everywhere to try and confirm it, but they didn't end up coming. I would have payed top dollar to see them play.
Metal for the Brain would be worth it IMO, good chance to support local metal acts, and see some very good ones in the process!

The point is pop music isn't something that would contain a real mosh pit. **** music, **** pit.

c) **** music in YOUR opinion...each to their own...stop acting like your music is the freaking bible and nothing else counts. Have a little tolerance.

Gees settle down, I was giving **** to the use of the word mosh pit, I don't like the music but if you want to listen to it go a head, if you get so upset about people firing a few shots at the mainsteam then you should get over it! When did I ever say you couldn't be excited about your fav band?

Funny stuff.

Mate, I TOTALLY agree. It would be a dream come true to see these bands come out here and churn our some of the best music on the planet. I would travel anywhere in Australia to see those bands play, and I'm sure you would too.
But just look at the bands who play. Everything you could possibly ask for is there, plus some of the ****tier nu-metal bands are not on it either.
P.S - You left Down off the 2002 Ozzfest list. They were, apparently, just about the best band to play there this year. Can't go wrong with Phil! :D
OZZFEST 2003 in AUSTRALIA DAMMIT!

The Oils were great but the Tea Pary blew me away. I will never miss a gig of theirs again.
I knew two people that paid to go and I think they were the only two in Colonial that did so!
