Yeah, it was awesome. Mate, the public transport in Sydney is enough to make you kill someone midweek. Even on weekends you're lucky to make it onto that last bus/train at the end of the night after a concert. But during the week you have no hope at all unless it's a Wiggles show finishing at 8:30pm.

 

And driving in the city is about 100% worse than catching public transport - completely infuriating and the ultimate in frustration. I thought I'd miss White Widdow because of it, but gladly it all worked out. After 100L of petrol plus I'm 99% sure I got a photo taken in a bus-lane where I really shouldn't have been, right in the city's busiest interesction! :lol: It was the only way though. I expect a fine which I'll deny.

 

I just checked the website and unfortunately you guys don't get White Widdow up there because if you did you'd have to go. I'd still go for PBF if I were you. :)

Did you go, Justin?

No, I had my priorities all wrong. I went to my work xmas party instead. I'm so disappointed they were both on the same night.

Sorry to hear it mate. The only concert I've missed of these old-school bands touring Australia is the LA Guns show and that still haunts me today. Hope you can block this big miss from your memory, mate. More to the point, hope you hooked up with the drunkest, sexiest office slut to make the night worthwhile. :lol:

Yeah, I'll see it for sure... though Matty-Boo just told me it'd cost $70! Ouch, but I'll still do it. White Widdow better support them.

Here's a band that'll get a few talking, Croatian all girl melodic rockers Angels http://www.angelsrocktheworld.com/TheBand.aspx

will be touring here December, check out thier songs. IF you love 80's Vixen you'll love Angels.

 

 

Went to this gig last night, without a doubt the most unique & interesting gig I've been to this year, to put it nicely :)

White Widdow was fabulous, attendance was around 50 or tad more.

The only sour note being ww's keyboard player apparently chickening out of playing thier newest tune that now yet to played.

Thanks mate. Wow, $80??? Do they have some good support bands? I missed out on LA Guns for about $60 (due to financial reasons) and I much prefer LA Guns to Stryper. :(

Not sure who is supporting. Yeah it seems a bit expensive to me. But I guess that's what you have to pay to see an international headline act these days.

    • I was a pretty big fan. Nature Of The Beast is a killer song. Saw them with Dave Gleeson from the Screaming Jets singing and he did an amazing job, but pretty sure they have a new singer now  I recently went through the two most recent albums before this one and there were a couple of ok tracks, but mostly mid. Fun fact: I saw the Angels a couple of years before Doc died at the Middle hotel in Ferntree Gully and they seemed to hate each other. Pretty sure Doc said nothing to the crowd all night. Fun fact 2: when they were building the transit bar in Melbourne, a mate and I found a service elevator that went to the roof, which was under construction. After peeing off the roof, which is always fun, we realised that we could clearly hear the music 5 or 6 floors below from a DJ I think. He was playing Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again. We started yelling down the No Way Get Fucked, Fuck Off bit thinking we were hilarious. Then soon we noticed people looking up, and for some reason they seemed to be clearly hearing us. Another mate then called us to tell us security were on the way up the stairs so we took the service elevator down and managed to laugh it off. Stoopid drunk story I guess, but fun days.
    • Cheeky, getting your artwork in there. I wonder how you did that.  I like the vocal track on #1 and that'd be my pick. I personally don't dig the female versions of songs, because I'm not a female (yet?) and as these are songs written by ourselves I personally feel the best interpretation is an AI dude voice taking the place of your dude voice. 
    • Yeah, that's great but this is obviously an accomplished musician probably completely in control of this output... not done with Suno, I'd bet. There's definitely dudes out there who are perfectly capable of doing their own music, like this dude, but for whatever reason might not be able to put a project together, again, for whatever reason... but this definitely feels a lot more like AI feeling in the missing gaps for someone otherwise in complete control of what he wants.  Either way, it is very cool indeed.  As Darkstone says, I'm not sure paying is the way to get the best results. I'm also not saying it isn't, especially with other platforms that are not Suno. I think already knowing what you're doing, musically, is the best way to get best results, personally. Suno, for example, is just perfect for someone who might enjoy writing lyrics but is not in any way shape or form an accomplished (or even adequate, lol) musician.  But yeah, it's pretty cool for some fun. I'm not sure if you checked out my links above. Keeping them pretty quiet due to lyrical content, lol, but you might dig some of the stuff in my links. 'As the moment passes by' and 'I'll wait for you' are two of my personal faves. Along with 'Faith to fall.'
    • Yeah, musically it's what you want, but vocally... Maybe Alex should take some vocal lessons from Ken Tamplin. ;}
    • Your Eyes - Darkstone (2024) Two versions of my song number 6     https://suno.com/song/e8c1e85b-21ee-4d35-a64b-e786f00944d2   https://suno.com/song/9144c77a-bd7c-49c1-9508-f724d0832fdb
    • Yep, although I was never a massive fan.
    • Yes, celebrating their fifty years. There only two original members left in the band. Dusty might agree with me the Angels died when the original singer passed away.
    • It's just not the same without the Doc though...
