Sevendust Tour

[Carlos]

Anyone else going?

Pretty pumped the Melbourne gig is at The Palace.

And what are people's thoughts on 'Seasons"?

My respect for one of my favourite bands has nose dived to zero after for the second tour in a row cancelled (first the whole tour, now just Adelaide) a week before.

Not ****ing impressed that theyve decided, a week before the concert to cancel Adelaide. Not impressed at all.

Geez, thats real sh*tty Macca.

Whats the story there? Was it selling well?

Absolutely pomped that they are definately coming over this time, and being at palace....its going to rock!
The palace has an awesome atmosphere, i hope it sells out.
Definately feel sorry for Adelaide, they been ripped.

Was right into them a few years back, really enjoyed Animosity but was pretty shattered when I forked out 100+ bux to see them as support act for Creed only to have them pull out (for legitmate reasons I know, still pretty shattered though)

Don't mind Seasons but won't be bothering to catch them live I think.

I heard the Adelaide show was cancelled because there ticket sales were very poor.

I assume ticket sales werent going as expected.

But even then, 7 days before the concert leaves it to late for me to organise a ticket, accomodation and time off work to go in a different state.

Very dissapointed. The way i see it, if you state you are playing at a place, whether sales are good or bad you go on with it and dont pull out a week before the event.

We have diehard Sevendust fans here too and its no good that we now have to miss out because the band are too full of themselves and money hungry.

I went last night and i'm still coming down from the adrenaline rush!

Easily one of the tightest bands i've ever seen and they blew my socks off with their energy! Didn't let up all night!

Drummer Morgan Rose is the best showman going around today and this guy can seriously play! And how he does all those screaming backing vocals while laying down those chops just baffles me. The man is a star!

The boys put in a flawless performance over a very rockin hour and a half.

Great song selection. Played stuff off all 4 albums. They suprisingly opened with blistering version of "Black" off their first album.

Lajon, who was very chatty and personable all night, let the crowd know how happy they were to finally be in Australia (i'm sure the Adelaide people are happy to hear that!!) before introducing "Denial" which the boys nailed and which got the crowd right amongst it.

At one stage he told the crowd how much more we kicked arse over their American audiences which predictably got a huge reaction.

"Enemy", "Broken Down", "Crucified", "Shine" and "Bitch" had the crowd in full voice and loving it!

"Angel's Son" predictably had the crowd in fine voice and got one of the biggest reactions of the night.

"Waffle" blew the doors off the joint. Christ that is a great song!

"Rumble Fish" had a bit of a jam in the middle before the "get up, get up, get up.." bits which saw the crowd going nuts!

All the stuff off the new album sounded awesome and went down very well with the punters.

They also ripped into a bit of Pantera's "Walk" which sounded awesome and then wipped the crowd into a frenzy by blasting out a killer 2 minutes of Metallica's "Master of Puppets". Lajon jumped down the the front fow and got a punter to pretty much sing the lot (and he blitzed it!!). Great stuff!

"Praise" was a ball tearing way to close what was a sensational show after which the boys stayed on stage for a minute or so slapping hands with the fans and applauding the whole crowd.

Please come again soon (and tour Adelaide for Macca!!)
