Big Day Out 2008

[Dogwatcher]

Rumours or requests anyone?

I'd heard a couple of weeks ago Rage Against the Machine were a chance.

Seems they are, announced an Australian tour, which is likely to include BDO.

I've also heard Foo Fighters and QOTSA will be back again.

[Leaping Lindner]

The ONLY thing that would get me to next year's BDO is the rumoured Saints appearance. Even then I'd go to the side show.

[Dogwatcher]

that would be awesome! so hope it's true.

I knew you'd comment LL, and knew it wouldn't be entirely positive

I think I am finally getting too old for the BDO Dogwatcher Besides how could you ever top 1993!

FWIW a guy by the name of Peter (PC) Curnow passed away recently at the age of 50 after long battle with several health issues.
Far as I'm aware, he had a fair bit to do with the BDO arriving in Adelaide and the organisation of it during it's formative years.

F***!! No way!!! That sucks.
Him and his partner Di use to organise all the Lees West gigs in Adelaide including the BDO.
I use to see a lot of Pete when I was still in Adelaide. We went to see The Buzzcocks in 1994 and spent an hour waiting for the Buzzcocks to come on stage talking football - he was North man to boot!
RIP Pete

Had confirmed today from a very reliable source that Rage Against The Machine will infact be headlining the 2008 Big Day Out

[saintal]

I heard that The Smashing Pumpkins (well,what's left of them) could be playing?

[BenchedEagle]

RATM will be awesome if they are rejoinin for the right reasons not $$$.
Would luv to hear "Bombtrack, down rodeo and bulls on parade live. Worth 120 bikkies just to see those.

Pumpkins just dont cut it anymore. So may have a look if they plays some classics.

I also hear Velvet Revolver and Fall out boy.....Meh

Id call it rock. When I think of metal, I think of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Iron Maiden......

[Dogwatcher]

I'd definitely call VR rock.

I might not have said you were trippin though.

Which reminds me of a great 90s song by Push Push - "I was trippin out on youuuu!"

[RustyCage]

Hopefully we get some announcements soon

Yeah thats right and what were they???
Oh thats right a metal band!!

[brod]

Push Push - were they a kiwi band?

[Leaping Lindner]

Push Push - were they a kiwi band?

Yep. Released stuff on the famous Flying Nun label!

[brod]

I was in New Zealand when Push Push released that song and I was never sure of anything much more that that chorus. Still find myself singing that line on ocassions - great song....
