The sound at the uni was again, as usual set to an ear drum bursting level. The only difference was that it could handle COG - unlike the last time I was there for Strung Out.
The thumping bass during No Other Way and the ridiculously good riff and jamming at the of What If were both highlights to get the gig going...
Resonate, The Spine and My Enemy all great pics off their debut...but then again they dont have a bad song.
The lyrics of the new album particularly show COG's political awareness and dislike for the way the world is heading. The emotion on stage was evident. The 'One Human Family' and Che Guevara stickers caught the eye.
Straight home to get tickets sorted for the gig next sat at Waves in the gong.
Nobody better getting around in Australia at the moment.

1.3 Birds Of Tokyo
Thurs 4th September @ The Arena, Brisbane
Already booked in to see them on friday 12th in newy I stumbled across this date....we are going to be in brisbane to play the broncos the next day so why not. never been to a gig in brisbane. the arena proved to be a good venue, pretty intimate and good balcony set up.
The Birds sounds really good, solid set list of both the albums. Cant say the old and the new as they both came out within about 8 months of each other! As good as this band are, it still leaves me thinking - "bring on the next Karnivool album".
Went on the scenic tour around the valley to get to the gig....not my fault.
The queenslanders certainly making the most of a night out, with the main criteria for entry being 'almost full'!

Armour For Liars

VOL 3 Reminiscing - Korn @ The Forum, Kentish Town
Streety.....
Wow....after 7 weeks of travelling through thailand, the states, and central europe I arrived back in london for a few days work to get ready for the 2006 season. what better way to enjoy the post work activities of a friday than at The Forum (the church) for a 90min earbashing. I was scanning through seetickets.com whilst surfing the net in slovakia and spotted korn tickets....at the forum...too good to be true. jumped all over it straight away.
London was in the middle of a cold snap....headed to the gig just wearing a jumper,thinking that on arrival i will waltz into the venue, grab a beer and get myself a position in the pit. WRONG.....it was -4 and there was a 500m lineup to get into the venue....FUCK that i said to myself...into the closest pub for a few pints....closer to the scheduled start time i pump the pint in and head for the warmth of an aggressive moshpit....WRONG...that lineup is now at least 800m long and the doors still arent open. To keep warm everyone huddled together - strangers were united in the search of warmth. after an hour of standing out there for an hour the doors open!
the gig was unbelievable. jonathon a bit rusty on a few lyrics for new songs but the old classics were sensational as they were a few months earlier at The Brixton Academy. New songs Liar, Twisted Transitor, Coming Undone and Hypocrites got there first run on the live stage....Coming Undone i fell for straight away.
A busy moshpit given a spell after each song while Jonathon sucked on some oxygen while hiding behind his human shield of a body guard....
the classics were still received the best! awesome gig
even colder on the way out....a cheap hoodie bought from a shifty cockney bastard helped on the way home....and still worn proudly every winter since!
GOT THE LIFE!

VOL 2 Reminiscing - The Most Anticipated Gig Of My Life
My words need not get in the way of the sound and visual experience... sit back and enjoy
This postee had a fair spot!
Check out this last video....we were just a bit in front of this dude i reckon....closest vid i could find to our vantage point
The best atmosphere at a gig I have ever seen...everyone was so happy, excited and thankful for the experience of seeing Rage after a 12yr hiatus from australia...people cheering and clapping as they poured out the doors...unbelievable...
I'm Not Sure...do these guys have something against the government?
Is there any other song that can get you pumped more than this?
