Re: Been to a good gig lately? [Merged]
heard about it jb, but can't make it at that time
i went to point nepean music festival on saturday, was a fantastic festival
got to see the vasco era, the audrey's, sierra leone refugee all stars, terrance simien & the zydeco experience, taj mahal and ben harper & the innocent criminals.
i didn't go to the sunday event which featured john mayer and missy higgins, although i'm sure that was amazing too.

You're the one criticizing him and calling him a hypocrite. If you're going to do that, at least have an opinion you can back up. Do you know how many trees a year go towards the musical instrument industry as opposed to the wood chipping/paper industry driven by the likes of Nissan and Mitsubishi? Do you know which industry takes it's raw materials from sustainable regrowth forests and which one continues to destroy old growth wilderness areas? Do you know how much time, effort and money John Butler has poured into wilderness and wildlife funds?
Slagging Butler for using a wooden guitar is a very ill informed, immature thing to do. You might think it sounds 'clever', but trust me, it doesn't.

Believe me, Disco, when it comes to Maton guitars I am VERY informed. I am sure John Butler has poured millions and millions of his billions into wilderness and wildlife funds. It justs disappoints me that such an avid conservationist has to use a piece of mother earth to make his brilliant music.

Why exactly Gyps? His whole array of guitars could probably have been made from one branch. His efforts have probably helped save whole wilderness regions, not to mention the countless species contained within them. I think most mother earth lovers would be pretty happy with the trade-off.

back to the title of this thread ;D
saw the chili peppers last nite. went solo coz i was given a free ticket randomly on sunday.
u'd struggle to find three better talents at their respective instruments than flea, chad smith and john frusciante. they are just masters of their crafts. i could watch them jam for hours.

The RHCP are awesome live.
One of the few rock bands that sound at least as good as their albums.

I'd pay $500 to watch RHCP perform Blood Sugar Sex Magik,
Quite possibly the greatest album of all time.
