SURVIVED!!!

Well as the title suggests i did survive the concert.

Overall it was a pretty good concert well it had its pros and cons.

First of all the crowd was absolutely shocking (typical Perth crowd) there wasn't even a really big mosh pit although most of the people there were older and there were sections where people did get into it. There was a group on the stairs which got into it even though they were in the sitting section.

Because it was a relatively short concert as he came on 30mins before he was scheduled which made me think he was sick and at the end it was obvious he was going to come back on but the crowd gave no response so he obviously thought stuff it.

The people watching was a highlight seeing the 40+ guys with big platform boots and eye makeup on rocking out.

The first song he played "We're From America" sounded absolutely shocking as he was terribly off key and i thought fuck this is going to be shit. But he and the band definitely got a lot better as the night went on, with only a few hic-ups with twiggy having a guitar die on him and a few wrong changes either late into chorus' or verses. But Manson's voice was a lot better than last times as he actually mainly just sang and wasn't lying on the ground so u couldn't see him.

As i was on the ground section and the rest of the boys were on the seats behind me they probably had such a different concert with different sounds etc, on the ground i thought the sound was alright with the bass absolutely thumping you every song. But what the guys said was that his mic was very low and guitars were too loud but you couldn't really notice it on the floor but you could tell his voice wasn't 100% after recovering from swine flu.

But definitely the highlight would have been "The Beautiful People" and the amazing lights that accompanied the band through out the show which offered a great view of him and the band as well as the crowd.

But if he does come back i would probably go again but would have to stand again and get up near the front to really get the right atmosphere.

I have a few photos and a couple videos but will see if the sounds alright and will post them up here.

Oh and the band that opened for him "Fear of Comedy" were unusual as the band didn't look like rock stars and the singer was very jack blacky/ tenacious d like in him manner and voice. But he enjoyed him self and thats what mattered. Who also seemed to love the Wildcats as well as the wheel cats

And by the way guys the chick that was on cruchtes got pulled out near the end but it was still a good effort to stay at the front of a MM concert with a broken leg.

Because after all we are the beautiful people

Here's To You Demo 4

Just got the newest demo of the new album.

The edition to this demo is the introduction of Rob on lead guitar and it sounds pretty amazing

Tonight Moshing May Cause Death

Well tonight Marilyn Manson is performing in Perth and like any responsible people my father and I are going, more for the people watching than the music. But this time we are not sitting down we are in the standing area and if its like last time the whole standing area is going to be packed and jumping so Conrad, Miguel, Tom you may be lucky but last time there were still people moshing on the setting so good luck.

Hopefully its going to be a good show with his band back together after a long break which included the Eat Me, Drink Me album, but just recently MM was diagnosed with Swine Flu so hopefully he has recovered because he cant sing with a perfect throat how is he supposed to sing with that kind of illness.

Although most of you reading this dont like his music, his new album is still quite mellow but still has a few of the heavy sings. but what most people dont know is what he is actually like behind his stage "Persona" and infact he is a very intelligent, articulate man who just conveys his views through music and some people take an extreme view on it, like there is on every topic.

If you have some time spare watch this four part interview about his new album

So hopefully i will still be alive by tomorrow, but if i dont I Love You All :P

Wish Me Luck

Aleglass Vs Nirvana

Well as bought to my attention by Miguel last night that All For Fun (Legless...Again) sounds very similar to a rift by Nirvana "Been A Son".

Now i played this song before i feel a sleep at the studio to David who write most of the music and he said that it is similar but not the same as the notes are not the same as well as the timing of the notes are not the same.

But we are also very greatful and somewhat surprised that this shows that you have actually listened to our music and know about the music and thank you.

So expect our people to talk to Nirvana's people

:P LOL

Ben Foster

Hes my new hero and when i keep at school i just want to be just like him and keep just like him so infact i would do nothing and stand there.

Studio This Past Weekend

Well for all of you that i know, i was once again in the studio this weekend.

This weekend was for the main purpose of rob putting down his tracks and then trying to get a mix of that as well as everything else we did.

As usual Rob was his amazing self, placing down some face melting solos and fills that just astound you because no one can do that so well.

Well then we disappeared to go to Mr Loo's house and that following morning after a decent 8 minutes sleep my dad picked me up to go to the studio once again.

Because i was so well rested i dont actually know what happened down there today and how much we got down because i was in a state comatose in the corner with the drummers vag pillows

I'm On Time For The First Time #3

So it seems that Miguel has said that he has outdone all of my sunset photos with just one photo.

Although that is a nice photo that is only one photo and i go for the more consistent good photos which will see James prevail of course.

Tonight i bring you not 1, not 2 not 1587 but 4 sunset photographs because i have just become bored of the waiting for the whole week.

This one taken in Laos which is a land locked country so one of our few photos that the sun is not setting into the ocean

This one is taken in Ao Nang in Thailand as the fishermen come in after a long dad of fishing

Taken also on Koh Lanta Thailand

Although not very bright or clear, i only chose this photo because of the very rich, deep colours in the sky. Also for the fact that this was taken in Cambodia with the sun setting over Vietnam

Enjoy another week
