Very excited to announce that we were approached by the Secretary of the UNION BROTHERHOOD MOTORCYCLE CLUB last night after our show and asked if we would perform at their upcoming function here in Vegas on the 19th!!! Many TOP biker clubs will be there showing solidarity and WE are going to perform along with a couple other local bands!  Clubs like the Vandals, Hells Angels, etc. will all be a part of this HUGE event! Kind of hard to wrap my mind around it right now but I can tell you this; we are THRILLED and incredibly HONORED to have been asked!! This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and we are SO happy to be a part of it!!

My father has come up for two days for a visit (and to pack a few more things to take back with him) I haven't seen him in 3 months and I'm just so happy he's here. He wants to take me and my sister out to lunch today, I'll be sad when he goes again.

Yeah true, Australia had to rebuild massively so they're due to start winning again. Speaking of coaches, I lived in Christchurch when Robbie Deans missed the coaching job, man it was unbearable cos Cantabrians are the most one eyed rugby fans you'll ever meet LOL!

South Africa will win the tri nations, I think they'll go unbeaten. Australia have been rebuilding for two seasons now and are going to start winning games. Going into the Rugby World Cup both of them are in a much better position than we are, also as I mentioned before our coaches are fuckin idiots.

I agree. While I'll BE in Brazil at the time and get lynched if I wear anything but a Brazil jersey, my $ will be on Spain this time 'round.

Still, it is a BLAST to be there during the WC. I was there the last time they won and, man, what a party! Ever see 10 people standing on TOP of a palm tree cheering on a team? It is freakin' crazy.

LOL! Yep a massive twat. He needs a punch in the head.
I have paid hardly any attention to rugby this year, but I would be surprised if we won the tri-nations. Bledisloe we may win only cos Aussie is poos, or has been in recent times, but who knows.

Brazil is in a difficult group at the WC - they have Ivory Coast, Portugal and North Korea. Ivory Coast and Portugal will be very tough games, North Korea is a bit more of an unknown quantity.
I see Argentina as a possible winner too. Can't wait for the tournament to start!

Twit? He's a twat with a capital TWAT. Speaking of the All Blacks, judging by the side thay've picked, the injuries and the fact that our coaches are dildoheads, I think it's gonna be a long depressing season.

Ah man Ponting really grinds my gears! LOL! Such a twit. Yeah the great thing is we know we won't win this WC, we have nothing to lose. The opposite of the All Blacks who people think should win everything so when they lose there's a massive brouhaha in the media LOL.

They're the same in cricket, Ponting is nice as pie when they're winning but starts acting like a spoiled brat everytime they lose. Australia will get smashed at this World Cup. NZ will do ok, they're not capable of winning it but they'll surprise a few people.   [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Becks from Saturday, May 29, 2010 8:27:27 PM)

Grella is bloody lucky he didn't break Bertos' leg in that first tackle, what an idiot. The number of Aussies around the place saying 'aggression is part of the game, kiwis just need to harden up' is a little mind boggling - it's soccer, not boofhead style rugby league. If they play like that in the world cup they will get smoked and will lose players for games due to red cards.
I'd say if we keep on playing how we are we will really push a few teams in the WC. After this mornings win the other teams in our pool will be sitting up and taking more notice.

Yeah he refs in the States and apparently he's a real no bullshit type of ref, loves handing out the reds. I'd say the reason he kept them in his pocket would be that if anyone got a red they'd be forced to sit out world cup games. Bet ya anything the Aussies knew the ref wasn't going to be sending people off and kept that piece of info to themselves whilst they went about trying to wreck our chances by injuring guys. Aussies are sneaky, underhanded, little pissants and they hate it when things aren't going their way.

Yeah, the ref did that in the first half too. 2 minutes of extra time given, 3 minutes extra played. Apparently the ref said to Ryan Nelsen that he would have given those two Aussies red cards if it wasn't a friendly. WTF? An illegal tackle is an illegal tackle.

Oh man that was awful, not because of how we played, we played pretty well, but the Aussies should have gotten at least 2 red cards for disgusting tackles. And winning on the last kick is just tin arse anyways LOL.

Hell yeah JJ! It was freakin fantastic! I watched the last 20 minutes and it was a nail biter, then Serbian fans started invading the pitch and throwing things on to the pitch, and their captain had to appeal to them over the PA system to be calm so the game could finish! A brilliant result for NZ, and like you said will surely give us a confidence boost going in to our next friendly match and the WC.

NZ beat Serbia in a pre - World Cup friendly match. 1-0. This is probably the best result NZ have ever had in our footballing history. Serbia have a lot of players from some of the top European teams and cruised through their qualifying group. They are ranked 15 in the world, NZ are ranked 78. Huge confidence builder for our guys before the tournament starts.

Cheers Joe, Bud! Would be cool if I got to meet Scott and get an autograph, like you say Joe, meeting my favourite drummer would be so awesome lol!
Yeah the main concert on the saturday night will need to finish pretty well on 11pm cos of noise control stuff, the midnight sessions are held somewhere else in the city and are for a smaller group of people. So they should be fine lol.
[guidogodoy] Wednesday, May 26, 2010 8:37:14 AM 
Yeah, I saw the website before I signed off last night. Ever-evolving linup that is Hail!

Good. Looks like quite the eclectic lineup of bands / artists participating in the event. What also struck me as a "what the hell kinda country is this?" moment is when I saw what TIMES they were playing. Here, all shows have to be fairly punctual if they are outside. Usually, MUST end at 11pm or they risk fines for noise violations. Were I in Spain, a concert often wouldn't START until 11pm.

A show like Ozzfest starting at 11am, once you are in you are trapped. Heat of Nashville in Summer, can't bring in even your own water? SUX!

You should be pleasantly surprised with Slash. I saw him this weekend and he put on a very
good concert. A few of his songs were a little slow for me but overall he was pretty rockin'. He
had a heavy, bluesy, kind of sound. He played some Guns and Roses songs also. Night Train
and Sweet Child O' Mine. I'm so sick of hearing that song, definitely the lowlight for me but the 
crowd loved it. Also Scott Travis is approachable. He seems very laidback and enjoys the fan
interaction. Ripper should be cool also. He's also approachable should you want to meet him.
Take care and have a goodtime.

Oh I didn't realise that Guido. I knew that he had died, but didn't know he was in Hail!. Very sad
Here's what the G-Taranaki website says about the Hail! lineup: "Joining Owens onstage will be guitar virtuoso Tony MacAlpine, legendary bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm/Blue Murder/Whitesnake) and Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis."   [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Tuesday, May 25, 2010 11:39:42 PM)

Good for you, Becks. Too bad the passing of Slipknot bassist, Paul Gray will mark some sadness on this tour. He was to take the place of Dave Ellefson who was slated to return to Megadeth.

Thought the Slipknot drummer, Paul Bostaph, was to tour with them, though. Read all about it when I read of Gray's death. Perhaps Gray's death shook up the drummer as well leaving the position to Travis?

Ok I am VERY excited about this! In August there is something in my home province (Taranaki) called G-Taranaki, an international guitar fesitval which started last year. This years headliner was announced a couple of weeks ago - Slash. I thought yep I'd pay to see him. But today it got a thousand times better! A band called Hail! are playing - formed by Ripper Owens, and guess who's on drums??????



SCOTT TRAVIS!!!!

I can't fuckin wait!!!!!! I'm actually going to see a member of Judas Priest live!!!!!! May seem small to some people, but I am so so excited to see a member of my favourite band live! I wonder if I'll be able to track him down and get him to sign something and get a pic with him, lol.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the impression they were sacking him and canning the show. Due to restructuring at the BBC or something. He mentioned a stay of execution a few weeks ago, hence the reason he's carried on to the end of May.

They're not dropping it, there will still be a Friday Rock show, its just that Bruce is leaving. I don't know why- maybe he decided it was too much what with the flying and Maiden and everything? Anyhow, I do know that the guy taking over is John Peel's son (so he has two legends to live up to). Whether its any good remains to be seen, I guess.
Certainly they will never get another presenter with a style quite like Bruce's.

'Good Evening, I'm Bruce Dickinson and this is  the Friday Rock Show right here on 6Music...' I should record his last show and bring it out when I'm feeling nostalgic...

Yeah, Clouds In My House by Voivod, off their Angel Rat album. One of the most underrated albums ever. It's nearly 20 years old and sounds like it could have been recorded yesterday. I listen to the show for the same reason, to hear new stuff. There's always something I've never heard before on that show. I can't understand why the BBC are dropping the show, I'll definately be checking out the final show.

That's really cool! I've sent in requests from time to time, never had one played but it doesn't bother me, he plays enough great tunes as it is.
What I am bothered about is that this coming friday will be his last ever show  its the end of an era. However I understand he will be dedicating it to RJD, so the show is going out on a high!

Just checking it out.... hey, was it the Voivod track? They're not a band I've ever listened to much before, but this is pretty good. And that is why I've listened to Bruce's show all these years, to pick up new bands and songs.

A few weeks ago I emailed Bruce Dickinson to request a song on his radio show. They sent back an automatic reply saying that Bruce gets thousands of emails so don't be disappointed if we can't email you back etc, so didn't think to much more about it. Anyway yesterday I get an email from somebody who works at the BBC saying that Bruce will be giving me a shout out on his show that night. Not only that, he played my request and read part of the email I sent him over the air. Awesome to hear the lead singer of Iron Maiden mentioning me on his show which is listened to by millions of people around the world. It's made my week.
