BDO 2008 - Die! Die! Die! + Arcade Fire!!!!
Phaedra:
I wonder how quickly it will sell out? In Perth, apparently the RATM side show sold in under a minute! There will probably be a lot of people buying BDO tickets just to see them. This city has a disproportionately large population of metalheads. (Hope I don't start an argument about whether Rage are metal or not...)

If you think RATM are the only decent band in that lineup you are retarded.
Also, go see Slayer, Sonic Youth, Wilco, the Wrens, or even fucking Radiohead and tell me "old" people can't play good shows.
Back on topic: the must-sees for me would be LCD and Battles. Arcade Fire and Bjork would be fun but not required. TOO BAD I HATE FESTIVAL SHOWS AND DON'T LIVE IN AUSTRALIA EH

RATM is the onyl good band, all other claims are false logic. The rest aren't worth anyone seeing, let alone this type of publicity.
I never said RATM couldn't bring it due to theuir age, my concern is their break up has been for 8 or so years now, and I haven;'t heard "IMG RATM CAN STILL BRING IT" yet, no gaurentee they can.
Your list of old bands that 'can' perform is also chocking, slayer is terrible live, sonic youth and radioheads shows blow so much ass they are probably illegal in several small countries. The other two I'm not familiar with.
CONCLUSION - It is not worth is money, sun burn or bad music to go see RATM, I'll wait till they tour a venue worth seeing, Festival hall does not fit this decription.

God why can't you spell or participate in a fucking conversation

You know, the crowd will be pretty bad. Half idiot kids in Che shirts, half indie fags. I don't know if seeing Arcade Fire (which are good but not *that* good) is worth sitting in the sun all day listening to bad bands and getting annoyed by said Che Shirt kids/indie fags. Hmmm.

Honestly, the typical BDO punters piss me off more than those two cliques. At least I can assume those two groups are there for the music, for a given definition of "for the music", but every fucking year there are always a huge crowd of dickheads who push people around in the moshpits, get drunk as hell, and just generally cause trouble for the people who just want to enjoy some bands. I really am anticipating trouble because in my experience, most of these "typical punters" are also massive RATM fans and basically that is going to be a crowd with some problems because it will be the highest density of arseholes in this country since the last One Nation party meeting.
