Went to see Megadeth and Slayer at festival hall last night.
Never though i would say this, but Slayer were fucking awful. Tom lost his voice and got randoms to sing instead. It was like a bad dream.
Gigs which one is looking forward to, but then turn out to be bad, are so disapointing.
yeah my friend went to that one, and he was also disappointed. what can you do if you loose your voice though?
oh for sure, all sympathy for tom, but they didnât play very well either. I wish they had postponed it, though obviously easier said than done.
i heard the opposite. imagine if you were one of those randoms! it wouldâve been the best fucking show of your life.
What??? Awesome for that person maaaaybe, shite for the other 1000âs of people at a bad karaoke show.
how were megadeth? i really liked that last single.
they were decent. i just dont like mustaine and i was distracted by being about to see slayerâŚa sad irony.
that being said, i lost my shit when they played holy wars.
Megadeth in Brisbane were extremely good. Slayer played about 6 good songs and just failed. Luckily I saw them from outside Riverstage sitting on my bike 
Sounds like Slayers part was more like a local hardcore punk gig. Fun - but not when youâre paying $80 or so to see themâŚ
hmmm they must be off form
i saw them in 2007 and i was totally blown away by their performanceâŚ
i wouldâve been pissed off⌠thank god i didnât go!
heard itâs just megadeth playing an extended set in adelaide :\
i saw em in sydney and i though slayer were a bit roughâŚ
iâm a pretty big megadeth fan
but i think that slayer were showed up a fair bit by the much tighter and slicker show that megadeth didâŚ
Which is unfortunate because normally slayer would blow megadeth outta the water. I thought megadeth were decent but pretty constrained.
That does suck about Slayer, but at least thereâs a reason. I saw Malcolm Middleton last time he came out and his show at the corner was bad, but actually offensive because he wasnât making any sort of effort.
He walked on stage, sat down and said âok, does anyone have anything theyâd like to hear?â heâd start playing the request, stop because he couldnât remember the words, sigh, look at his watch and then just sit there until someone yelled out another of his songs he might remember. Bang on the hour he was off stageâŚ
sucks, they were good the last tour.
i saw a great gig on saturday nite. Melt Banana at the forum were sweet. i hung around for the band after and was pleasantly surprised by the fact that a cover band of a band iâd never heard of were actually fucking amazing!
a couple of my friends also said the mix (for both bands) was fairly shit too
although megadeth apparently stopped and got it fixed mid-setâŚ
there was not enough volume at sydneys gig that was my big issue
megadeths last song âholy warâ droping in to Mechanix in the middle was all time!
slayer opening with rain in blood was pretty fucken sick too.
beyonce was a let down for me
