So you're saying it's a criminal offense that my musical taste changes? I've been on this forum a long time, it doesn't surprise me that you remember stuff I liked from years back. And you're right, I used to like New Found Glory, From First to Last, Electro music, House music, MOS albums, Enrique Iglesias, and other stuff I wouldn't touch anymore. This fucking joke is over.
so why act like the bands you used to be into are now so utterly beneath your consideration and that anyone who would dare to like them is uncool? i used to be super into the emo band scene i dont deny it, i dont really listen to much of it anymore but im never going to act like a fuckwit just because my music taste matured and i certainly wont be jumping on a fad just because its the new super rad thing. denying past musical taste is fucking pretentious and pathetic. so yes im calling you out, ive watched you do it for years and frankly its lamer than any "emo" kid frothing on these "emo bands"
but moving on here is my soundwave review
i barred the first hour and got there around 1, and walked straight in the southern gate which was a pleasant suprise compared to last year.
* all that remains were the first band i saw and they were horrible. "we like australia because it has naked chicks and people smoking pot" <kill yourselves
*unearth were next and even though im kinda outgrowing metalcore i appreicated their set and they obviously dont take themselves too seriously which was refreshing for a metalcore band.
*underoath were next and they are regressing as musicians (or maybe they just had horrid sound?). the christianity rant was upsetting, cant stand that pious crap.
*anberlin. wow. if you didnt enjoy yourself watching them you are lying. i was mildly dissapointed that they didnt play some of their slower more ambient songs but its a festival what can you expect? lolololol that they played that song with "you make breaking hearts look so easy" hugely entertaining and considering i was off my face it was a dance sensation with myself and my friends making a "mince pit"
*finch. yawn. filling time waiting for dillinger escape plan.
*dillinger escape plan. amazing, i watched from the hill and i was super impressed with how tight they are for a post hardcore band. black bubble gum was the highlight, oh that and seeing some southern cross sporting bogan get OWNED by the guitarist when he jumped into the crowd.
*funeral for a friend. i was super suprised with how entertaining they are. i think someone must have told them that their new material is balls so they did a bit of an homage to their old albums which are the only ones i know. kinda only saw them because my sister was keen to but im glad i did, who knew a band could come back to form after having been lame for so so so so so long.
*horse the band. the funniest thing ive ever seen in my life. nintendocore and band members high on acid yet still able to play a wicked set. frothtacular
*devildriver. hahahahahahahahahhahahaha MEH...TAL. worst band ever
*in flames. so mega awesome, i almost cried when they went off because they didnt play for long enough, been waiting to see them for years and they didnt dissapoint. only for the week was the highlight
*nine inch nails. the highlight of the day, and possibly my life. made every other band look like amateurs. emotionally powerful and ending with hurt my little group to tears (friend of ours died and used to play an acoustic version). if they played all night i would have stayed and watched till i dropped dead. on par with sparta for the greatest live show ive ever seen
all in all a super fun day, kinda wanted to kill myself at the end of the day with the bus dramas and the immense amount of travel time it took to get home. walking to one side of the venue to be told there were no busses there was the most heartbreaking moment of my life but then i was given free pasta so win
i wont be able to go next year (ill be living in london) but i would if i could
