How these guys did not win Best Single for Minds Eyes and Best Album just proves how much of a farce the ARiA's are.

Absolute F**KING joke :mad:
 
It's an absolute disgrace that these talentless hacks won any friggin awards, let alone three. What an embarrassment to Aussie music.

One thing i hate about the Arias, that i will admit i get in on to, is the people going "How the hell did x win" or "how the hell did y not win!"... Its all based on what they like. I love Wolfmother, i think Minds Eye > Black Fingernails but personally i think One Crowded Hour by Augie March is an even better song.

Wolfmother have not only established themselves in Australia, but they have cracked the world market. For them not to be acknowledged for a GREAT song (Minds Eye) and an Awesome album is just a disgrace to the Australian Music industry.

Perhaps Casey Donovan should have won Female artist of the year....:eek:

There's quite a few more disgraces Id worry about before Wolfmother not receiving an award.

Its just an award, it means or symbolises nothing except music industry types all sitting around and masturbating one another.

I dont understand how people manage to even watch these kind of shows, let alone be suprised when they realise its all ****.

If you're over 16 and watching this ****, then, well... I dunno, go buy Ralph or something.

Bernard showed what he thought of the whole night. Not for the big one but the other one. Its all up to taste. If Wolfmother are good enough they'll win with Wolfmother Version2.0. I am a fan by the way.

"Wolfmother, are you serious!?! Are people that stupid!?! I guess they are."
 
i'm a fan of wolfmother, i think they're good and i like them more than eskimo joe... but for mine black fingernails, red wine is clearly a better track than minds eye... and a well deserved winner...
 
Just when I thought heavy metal was a dying genre (at least commercially), enter new Aussie sensation Wolfmother.

I listened to their self-titled debut album the other day and was absolutely blown away!!! These kids are seriously good!!! :thumbsu:

Wolfmother probably don't look like a metal band, but their sound derives itself very much from the early metal sensations of the 1970s - Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath... But Wolfmother have a harder, and a more energetic and funkier edge. They have their own style and it's quite unique to anything I've heard before.

I am sooo excited about this band. They (not surprisingly) cleaned up three awards at the ARIAs on the weekend (including best rock album). To me they are such a breath of fresh air in an era where post-Nirvana "alternative" music seemed to have taken over from metal.

Guitarist/vocalist Andrew Stockdale has a fantastic voice, but he's only very young at this stage and probably lacks the guitar playing abilities of a Jimmy Page or a Ritchie Blackmore. His riffs sound fantastic, but on Wolfmother's next album I want to hear some 2 or 3 minute guitar solos. :D

But Wolfmother makes up for this with some absolutely brilliant keyboard work by bassist Chris Ross. I'm so impressed with the long jamming between the vocals. Their compositions are great.

I haven't been as excited about a rock band in quite a few years - not since I really got into Rush, and maybe Dokken before them. Wolfmother kicks serious butt! :thumbsu:

Dont hold your breath. I dont mind Wolfmother, they're almost a tribute band but I still like their songs, well half of them... they get tiring fast.

BUT, dont go expecting any decent solos ever, unless they bring in a new guitarist because that Andrew dude even struggles to play bar chords in correct time when live.

Very average guitarist, but can punch out some decent chunky bar chord riffs, but Im afraid unless they bring someone else into the band, their diversity wont be extending anywhere else.

Thanks for that insight. I was a bit shocked to discover after hearing the album that they were only a three piece band and that the keyboardist doubles on the bass. I agree with you that they should consider bringing someone else into the band.
