Went to U2 last night.
Quite simply the best concert I have witnessed. The joint was going Ken Bruce for a large portion of the night. The ground was bouncing at some stages. It was staggering.
And Jay-Z was so good, full band, horn section and crystal clear vocals. The man is the best rapper alive. Went for a solid hour.
Could not have enjoyed the night more.

Anyone venture to Queenscliff last weekend?
Was a fantastic weekend as always, even if Saturday gave us all a free day-long shower.
Fell in love with a songstress by the name of Kate Vigo, absolutely ripping voice. She, a band by the name of Skipping Girl Vinegar, and a fellow called Mr Percival who plays no instruments but simply uses his voice and loops to create his songs, were my highlights of a great lot.

Saw u2 too and thought they were pretty good , better than their vertigo showsd i saw imo
Sound was crap at times though especially early..
Good setlist though would have preferred a few more newer songs..
Jay Z was ok
Atmosphere was a bit flat at times though..
Too many casual fans and 'big event' types and not enough real fans familliar with their back catalogue
The lack of reaction to songs like bad and until the end of the world was annoying especially considering the crowd went
off to mediocre songs like elevation..

Yeah me too. The music was strange looking because it really had no relevance to kids growing up in Melbourne in the 90's. But I know I started to listen to it because of how clever some lyrics were. The rap era pretty much jumped straight from the grunge era, there was a slight cross over but they were two completely different genres that dominated the mid and late 90's. Enjoyed them both.

he he, so true. What they 'wuz kickin it bout, keepin it reel' was pretty far from my Melbourne suburbia. Still it was titillating, catchy stuff. Back when 3174 used to pretend they were the crips! Riding the Colours and America Me genre. Similar seamless transition into the Nirvana, Pearl Jam era.SCOOP said:

Well done Bono and The Edge. Strangely Bono's voice still sounds young when singing but old when talking.
RIP Hutch.

I went and saw Korn at Festival Hall on Sunday night, wow what a show. I used to be a bit of a concert junkie and this show was right up there with the best.
Good support acts.
Sydonia who i had never heard of played a short set and for an opening band were bloody good, will check them out again.
Shihad were next up, a great energetic set from the Kiwi boys as usual.
DJ Kid Knuckles was next up mixing some classic metal tracks
Then Korn belted out a set that went for the best part of 1hr 45mins
All in all fantastic value $90 for 4 hours of entertainment

Hate to break it to you boys, but NWA, Public Enemy et al predate grunge, by several years. Nirvana/Peral Jam emerged around 91, when NWA was winding up. Nonetheless, both genres struck a chord with teenage white boys.Elmer said:

True but for me, the first big album that got me into this type of music was The Chronic by Dr Dre that came out in 92-93 and from that I went back into NWA and PE. Pearl Jam's 10 came out at around the same time so for me the two kind of locked into the same time span. Grunge did dominate until about 96 when Tupac died and I think that was the point that Rap caught up and overtook the true grunge era.

Gotcha Scoop. My brother was right into NWA and Public Enemy in the late 80s, but '*smile* tha police' was kind of an anthem and a way of life for him so I mostly steered away from it in those days. I did love Young MC and the Fresh Prince, probably because they/I were such nice, clever boys. ;D
Nirvana and Pearl Jam felt like the first time I heard my 'voice' on the radio. And then Rage Against the Machine came along. I can still recall the first time I heard 'Killing in the Name'. ROAAAR!

Growing up in Noble Park it was a time i remember well, a time when the music you listened too and the clothes you wore decided if you were safe to walk the streets. Lucky i was a fast runner lol
