Probably should have a nap.
We all get grumpy when we haven't slept.

You went through Miles to get from Melbourne to Gladstone? That seems Miles out of the way. Miles is out west.

Pre GPS ended up turning right at Banana

But is a nap a sleep?

Damn. I missed it.

Damn. I missed it.

I think it's on youtube. It wasn't live, it was premiered so you should be able to find it on their youtube channel

Never a real fan of Powderfinger.

However I was at the Big Day Out in Adelaide the year that girl, Sarah I think her name was, died in the Limp Bizkit mosh in Sydney.
It was like 40 degrees that day, and obviously most of the bands were very observant of the crowd in regards to crowding and water.
When Powerfinger came on, they were the band that did a minutes silence and also did an amazing live set. So, I'll always give them there due for making thousands of kids shutup for a minute and putting on some great tunes.

Incidentally an ex of mine also smoked weed with them in a Whyalla hotel before they were big-big.

Looked it up now cos I recalled a song was written as a tribute to her but couldn't remember which.
It was Chemical Heart by Grinspoon.

Really? That's cool if it's true, but I just read something where they said they were just sitting arounf getting high and wrote it.

'I had her hand, then I let it go': the Big Day Out loses its innocence - Double J

A confluence of factors during Limp Bizkit's 2001 Sydney performance led to the death of 16-year-old Jessica Michalik. Eighteen years later, the anger and the hurt remain.

As a positive spin, it meant Limp Bizkit pulled the pin before they came to Melbourne.
Rammstein was able to take over the main headlining position.
Was a ******* excellent show

Just watched a 15 minute docco of sorts on the tragedy. I don't know nearly enough to form an educated opinion about the event but from what it shows Fred Durst insulted security and initially did nothing to help. Didn't paint him in a good light at all. Compared to what Anthony Kiedis had done earlier he did nothing. Blame aside, it's an absolute tragedy that someone died enjoying music.

Ah okay.
I just found some random article on the album.
As weird as it may sound, it is one of those 'Where were you when this happened moments.'
I remember everything quite distinctly from the leadup to the actual event.

Concur, amazing show they put on in Adelaide as well.

Nowhere near as idiotic as thinking your taste in music is justified and or validated by winning a song contest on a football forum with 30 participants, or melting weekly when the validation you so desperately seek isn't forthcoming.

Exactly right. Generally my taste is validated by not winning, given everyone's shithouse tastes on here. I know you will relate to this.

 

[SSwans2011]

Gee, had to sit through some garbage in this playlist...
